Estradot and Menopause

Estradot and Menopause

Menopause begins one year after last menstruation and lasts for the rest of a woman’s life. During this time, level of estradiol within the female body drops rapidly.  Lack of this hormone can lead to various complications. Sometimes these issues can be very mild and some can be as severe as having a stroke and affects women between 45 and 51 years of age.  However, in recent years, there are more and more women in their thirties that are reporting initial symptoms of menopause.  Doctors from You! Drugstore believe that this change is caused by increased stress.

Another interesting research study shows that women with smaller numbers of egg cells are more likely to enter menopause at an early age.  There is a general misconception that menopause depends on first and last pregnancy yet may not hold true. Women who have early menopause have an increased chance of suffering from osteoporosis.

There are three general groups of menopause symptoms.  The first group is characterized by different mental and metabolic changes such as anxiety, depression and problems with memory, mood swings, insomnia, sensitivity, hot flushes and other similar changes.  The second group consists of symptoms such as increased blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems.  Muscle, joint and bone pain belong in the third group.  In addition to these problems, the skin becomes dry during menopause.  Loss of estrogen also affects mucous membranes of the vagina.  Tissue becomes dry so sexual intercourse can become very painful. Sexual desire is diminished which can also create a problems with partner as well as mental issues.

Like with any other medical condition, the patient needs to contact a doctor as soon she notices first changes.  Initial examination includes thorough blood analysis.  The patient needs to check estrogen levels because this hormone is the main cause for most menopausal changes.  Based on these results, the doctor can determine if the patient needs hormonal therapy.  It is important for hormones to stay in balance.  The patient shouldn’t have more or less than necessary.

Today, the best way of increasing estrogen and eliminating symptoms of menopause is by using drugs such as Estradot.  Medicine comes in a form of patch.  When a patient applies a patch on her body, estradiol level is slowly restored.  In some cases, the patient will be forced to use additional hormonal therapy in the form of progestin hormone.  Medical experts recommend Estradot as a great way to eliminate sweating, painful intercourse, uterine bleeding, hot flushes, chills and osteoporosis.  The patch is used twice a week, on same days.  It is usually applied on lower back, lower abdomen, buttocks or hip.  The patient needs to check his skin before the treatment.  If the tissue is damaged, infected or irritated, the patch should be applied somewhere else.  Do not put patch on the same place twice.  This can cause irritation.  Although Estradot provides great results in treating symptoms of menopause, it can lead to various side effects such as redness, nausea, memory problems, dry eyes, change in sex drive, back pain, excessive hair growth, headache and in some cases, even cancer.
