Surviving Menopause: What You Need To KnowHot flashes, mood swings, fatigue and decreased libido typically signal the onset of menopause. It usually begins in women after age 45, however some women experience menopause prematurely as a result of having their ovaries removed surgically or undergoing chemotherapy. Women who experience menopause abruptly sometimes suffer from more severe menopause symptoms.TreatmentsHormone Therapy is effective in alleviating menopausal symptoms, but it is not the only treatment option. Black Cohosh, which is an herbal supplement, can also be used as well as some prescription antidepressants. Please check with your physician to inquire on the best treatment for you.Hot Flash FixesDress in layers and wear moisture-wicking clothingSleep in a cool roomPlace an ice pack under your pillowExercise regularly to reduce stressAvoid alcohol and caffeinated beveragesAvoid excessive heatBreathe slowly and deeply from the abdomen when your body starts turning up the heatInformation provided by: Healthy Outlook South Nassau Communities HospitalLong Island 2 Day Walk to Fight Breast Cancer
