What is the best treatment for menopause?
The best treatment for menopause is one that relieves menopause symptoms without increasing the woman’s risk for developing serious conditions. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) relieves some of the symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and night sweats. It also improves sleep, reduces vaginal dryness and painful sex. HRT also reduces the risk of developing heart disease and fractures from osteoporosis.
However, side effects of HRT include developing breast cancer, cancer of the uterus, stroke, blood clots in the legs, blood clots in the lungs, breast pain, vaginal bleeding, gall bladder disease, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, headache, mood changes, muscle cramps, skin rash, itchy skin, hives, and allergic reactions.
Consequently HRT is not the best treatment for women who do not want to develop these conditions.
Our Menopause Expert Doctor does not use HRT. She uses food as medicine, supplements and lifestyle modifications to provide relief for menopause symptoms. This is the best treatment for menopause since it does not cause other illnesses. Email AlmasiSkincare@gmail.com to consult her.
