Menopause can be an uncomfortable, sometimes even challenging, stage of life for many women and men. But with the right treatment plan, you can manage your symptoms and live a healthy, balanced life. Oprah has been publically open about her journey through menopause and the support she's chosen to receive during this time.
Menopause occurs when a woman's menstrual cycle stops completely due to a decrease in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but some women may experience it earlier or later in life. This change is often accompanied by unpleasant physical symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, mood swings, vaginal dryness and difficulty sleeping. While menopausal symptoms vary from person to person, all can be managed with lifestyle changes as well as hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
Oprah experienced some of these classic menopausal symptoms including hot flashes and insomnia. To combat them she turned to HRT which she started taking back in 2012. In an interview with O Magazine she also discussed how much better she felt emotionally since beginning HRT: “I was always aware of my energy ebbing and flowing before I started treatment – but this level of consistency wasn’t something I had before." She continues to support the use of HRT for other women going through this change in life.
There are several benefits linked to HRT including improved sleep patterns, more regular periods cycles, decreased stress levels and increased libido. Additionally taking HRT can provide relief from such common menopausal side effects as hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. As long term studies continue to research potential risks associated with taking HRT it’s important to consult a doctor before beginning any regimen involving hormone supplements or replacements.
When making decisions surrounding health management during menopause it is important to consider factors like age; past medical history; family medical history; lifestyle issues such as smoking or drinking; weight considerations; other medications that may influence choices like aspirin or ibuprofen; allergies; financial concerns etc… With so many variables involved it is best advised that individuals consult their gynecologist or obstetrician when seeking advice on how best to manage their own unique case of menopause-related issues
