What is Early Menopause?
Early menopause refers to the onset of menopause before the age of 45. It marks the end of menstrual cycles and fertility due to a decline in estrogen production. While natural menopause typically occurs between ages 45 and 55, early menopause can bring physical, emotional, and reproductive challenges much sooner than expected.
Home Remedies for Early Menopause Treatment
In the early process, the treatments that should be applied at home are as important as the clinical treatments. Treatments that should be applied at home are generally related to changing your lifestyle. Because it causes serious problems in a woman whose lifestyle is irregular, the support from family and friends is as important as changing your lifestyle.
The changes that need to be made to your lifestyle are as follows:
- Keeping stress and anger at bay.
- Getting emotional support from close family or friends.
- Eating foods that contain a high source of calcium.
- Regular sports and exercise.
- Stopping the use of alcohol and cigarettes.
Early Menopause Treatment
Early menopause treatment focuses on managing symptoms, protecting long-term health, and supporting emotional well-being and fertility where possible. While early menopause itself can’t be reversed, several treatment options are available to improve quality of life and reduce health risks associated with low estrogen levels.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is commonly prescribed to restore estrogen levels, helping with hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and bone protection. For those who can’t take HRT, non-hormonal options like antidepressants, gabapentin, and vaginal moisturizers can help. Fertility options include egg or embryo freezing, IVF with donor eggs, or adoption. To prevent osteoporosis, doctors recommend calcium, vitamin D, exercise, and sometimes bone-strengthening medications. Managing heart health and getting emotional support through counseling or support groups is also important for overall well-being.
