Menopause Treatments NY - Dr. Robert Lichtenstein DC, CNS

Menopause occurs as female hormone levels decline naturally as the woman ages. The drop in hormone production slows the activity of the ovaries until they no longer release eggs. Perimenopause can begin naturally when a woman reaches her 40s or 50s. The average age for American women is 51. Medical issues and other factors can cause early menopause.

Choosing Natural Remedies for Menopause

Most women in the United States never receive medical attention for the effects they experience. Many women grew up watching family members struggle through it alone and never considered the need or value of menopause treatments. Other people discover their doctors are unmotivated to offer much assistance, or what they receive only provides minimal improvement. Untreated menopausal symptoms can cause extreme physical and emotional pain and may increase other health risks.

Natural solutions offer a safer alternative to hormone therapy or the excessive use of pain relievers and other medications. Healthy diets emphasizing foods known for their anti-inflammatory qualities and supervised supplementation can provide relief and prepare the body for when menopause finally begins.

Dr. Robert Lichtenstein used a similar supplement and nutritional plan for his own needs when fighting stage 4 cancer. He overcame the disease twice by understanding how nutrition plays a role in health and immune system function. Dr. Lichtenstein is a Board-Certified Nutritional Specialist and a Chiropractor who takes an educated approach to natural healing. His experiences have encouraged him to share his knowledge with others who want to take control of their health.

Symptoms of Menopause

Perimenopause affects every woman differently. All women have some symptoms. Some women have all symptoms. The intensity and effect of each symptom can also vary.

The symptoms possible during perimenopause, and sometimes beyond, can include:

• Irregular periods

Causes of Menopause

Menopause occurs naturally as the reproductive hormones decline. Surgery that involves removing the ovaries causes immediate menopause. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments may induce menopause, but the process may reverse after treatment ends. Premature or early menopause can occur in women with a condition known as ovarian insufficiency. Early menopause is when the woman begins perimenopause before the age of 40.

Potential Health Risks of Leaving Menopause Untreated

Nothing can stop or cure menopause, but medical treatment can reduce symptom severity and the risks of heart disease and cancer that increase as menopause begins. Without treatment, women can experience a severe inflammatory reaction from dropping estrogen levels. Inflammation often increases the loss of bone mass and makes women more susceptible to osteoporosis.

The risks of not treating menopausal symptoms extend beyond physical concerns but can also mean emotional and financial issues. Studies show women used more medical services for hot flashes if they were not receiving care for their menopause. The costs were double for women going untreated than for those medically managing their care. Women without medical guidance during menopause also reported feeling more depressed and anxious during the process.
