Menopause

The beginning of menopause may start 2-8 years before a woman realizes what is happening – the perimenopause years. By the age of forty her periods may become irregular, possibly heavier than in the past due to the lower level of progesterone and higher level of estrogen in her body. It’s likely that the use of a specific amount of progesterone cream applied to the skin will help that, but menopause hasn’t arrived until one full year goes by without a menstrual period. So what about the other symptoms of menopause such as mood swings/depression, insomnia, anxiety/palpitations, hot flashes/night sweats and vaginal dryness, to name the most common? A support group may be invaluable at that time.
A menopause support group consists of other women that have the same concerns as you, and are experiencing or have experienced the same symptoms as you, so they are in a position to truly understand and empathize with you. Having these people share ideas for ways to conquer problems can be beneficial in ways a person who has never experienced menopause or perimenopause could never do. The local Health Department, your doctor’s office or a women’s health clinic would be good places to find a support group in your area.
Another source for support during the menopause years is the Internet. Many websites are available that offer online chats or message boards. Listed below are just a few you may want to look into:
