1 Managing Menopause Menopause is a stage in a woman s life when the hormone levels of estrogen and progesterone decrease in the body. As hormone levels decrease, menstruation may be irregular and will eventually stop. Menopause occurs: As a natural part of aging When the ovaries are removed. Ovaries are the oval sacs in a woman s body where eggs are made. When ovaries are changed by radiation or chemotherapy When less estrogen is made by the body Signs Many women have uncomfortable signs. Often these improve over time. Talk with your doctor about your body s changes because there are treatment options and because these changes may be signs of other health problems. Common signs of menopause are: Changes in menstrual cycle or periods Hot flashes or warm flush feeling and sweating Problems sleeping Mood changes Headaches Feeling anxious Vaginal dryness Lack of sex drive or painful intercourse Dryness of the skin or hair 1

7 To help with vaginal dryness or sexual problems: Try lubricants and creams during intercourse to help with vaginal dryness or painful intercourse. A water-based lubricant will not break down the latex in condoms. Learn more about other products their purpose, side effects and how to use them safely. Talk to your doctor about products such as: Estrogen creams to reduce soreness Testosterone creams to increase sex drive Products that help restore vaginal moisture and comfort Avoid using douches, feminine hygiene sprays, lotions, soaps and bubble baths that may irritate your vagina. Wear cotton underwear. Do Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic floor exercises, each day. They strengthen the muscles that control urine flow. To find these muscles, try to stop your urine midstream. Squeeze the muscles for just a second or two and then release. These are the muscles Kegels strengthen. Do these exercises after you have emptied your bladder. 1. Tighten the muscles. Hold the muscles for 5 or 10 seconds. If you can only keep the muscles tight for 1 or 2 seconds, work up to holding them longer over time. 2. Then relax the muscles. 3. Repeat 10 to 20 times, at least 3 times a day. 4. Tell your doctor if Kegel exercises do not help urine leaks. Use more foreplay and stimulation to boost natural lubrication. Communicate with your partner about your physical changes and feelings. 4

9 To help with dry skin and hair: Put lotion on dry skin 2 times each day. Do not use lotions with heavy perfumes or alcohol. They can cause more drying. Brush your hair often to help spread your hair s natural oils. Wash your hair less often. When washing, use a conditioner each time. Limit your time in the sun and use sunscreen with at least 15 SPF. Reapply products liberally every 2 hours when outdoors, even on cloudy days. Wear a hat or head covering. Limit use of chemicals on your hair that dry your hair. Medicines for Menopause There are medicines that can help with signs of menopause, but many have side effects. Talk to your doctor about the risks, benefits and the best options for your specific needs. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using herbs or dietary supplements such as soy products, black cohash, dong quai, ginseng or others. They can help you weigh the risks and benefits for your health. There may be possible interactions with other treatments. Discuss the use of medicines with your doctor. Your doctor may recommend dietary supplements or nonprescription medicines such as Vitamin B complex, Vitamin E or ibuprofen, or prescription medicines such as: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). For moderate to severe hot flashes, your doctor may recommend short-term (less than 5 years) use of HRT if you do not have other health problems. HRT contains estrogen and sometimes progestin. Antidepressants, such as sertraline (Zoloft), venlafaxine (Effexor) and paroxetine (Paxil) Blood pressure medicine, such as clonidine (Catapres) Birth control pills Anti-seizure medicine, such as gabapentin (Neurontin, Gabarone) Many of these medicines are used for other health reasons, but may reduce hot flashes. Often, these medicines are started in small doses and are then increased over time to control your signs. 5

11 Your Health During menopause and after, women have a greater risk for heart disease and osteoporosis. This is linked to the changes in hormones. Take steps to lessen your risk and stay healthy: Do not smoke or use tobacco products. Ask your doctor for help to quit. Limit alcohol to 1 drink each day. Eat a wide variety of vegetables, fruits and whole grains. Eat foods high in calcium, get at least 15 minutes of sun exposure each day or talk to your doctor or health care provider about taking a calcium supplement with vitamin D. Sources of calcium in foods include milk, dairy products or calcium-fortified foods such as juices or cereals. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. The main source of vitamin D is sunshine. For people with light colored skin, 15 to 20 minutes of sun exposure is enough for your body to make vitamin D. For people with darkcolored skin, 30 minutes a day is needed. Limit salt, cholesterol and fat in your diet. Limit caffeine. Maintain a healthy weight. Exercise 30 minutes each day. Walking and strength training are good choices.
