More women are openly discussing their experiences, and younger women want to know what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>Menopause, which technically begins once a woman has not had a menstrual period for a year, on average at age 51, is a natural process. It\u2019s part of life, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s easy. As many as 85% of women experience menopause-related symptoms. Most common are hot flashes, weight gain, trouble sleeping, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.<\/p>\n<p>The good news? There are proven ways to take the edge off of menopause safely and effectively. Here are a few tips that may help:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Avoid common trigger foods\u2014but just as importantly, figure out <em>yours <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Caffeine, alcohol, and sugary or spicy foods, especially if consumed before bed, can worsen symptoms related to menopause. Avoid them when you can, but don\u2019t stop there. As you approach menopause, keep a food journal. Write down everything you eat and drink, and record how you feel and any physical responses that you notice, such as bloating, mood swings, or hot flashes. Foods that affect one woman, or even most women, might not affect you, and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prepare for vaginal dryness<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Estrogen levels begin to decrease during perimenopause, the transition years leading up to the end of menstruation. The decrease in estrogen levels can make vaginal tissue thinner and more easily irritated. Sometimes women experience dryness that can make sex painful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVaginal dryness before, during, and after menopause is completely normal,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/kathleen-schaeffer-do\">Kathleen Schaeffer, DO, FACOG<\/a>, an obstetrician\/gynecologist at Cooper University Health Care. \u201cInstead of worrying that it might affect you, assume it will \u2013 and prepare. Over-the-counter vaginal moisturizers applied every few days can alleviate discomfort. Lubricants as simple as coconut oil applied during sex can help too. If these aren\u2019t enough, ask your OB\/GYN about a low-dose vaginal estrogen cream, tablet, ring, or a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) pill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Consider menopausal hormone replacement therapy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If hot flashes significantly interfere with your daily life, don\u2019t panic. If you\u2019re within the first 10 years of menopause and are relatively healthy, menopausal hormone replacement therapy (MHRT) may be an option that can provide relief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHormone replacement therapy is just what it sounds like,\u201d Dr. Schaeffer says. \u201cA woman takes estrogen and progesterone in the form of a pill, patch, topical gel or spray, or vaginal ring to replace the estrogen and progesterone her body has stopped making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hormone replacement therapy does carry risks for women over age 60 as well as women with a history of certain health conditions. You should turn to a gynecologist you trust to determine whether this treatment is right for you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHormone replacement therapy can provide relief for the right candidates, but it\u2019s a decision that should be made carefully, with a trusted specialist,\u201d Dr. Schaeffer says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eat smarter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hormone fluctuations, loss of muscle mass, and insulin resistance can lead to weight gain during menopause. Tried-and-true healthy choices (drinking water, exercising, limiting calories, eating more fruits and vegetables) can help, but consider taking things further by adopting what\u2019s widely referred to as a Mediterranean diet.<\/p>\n<p>In a study of 6,000 women between the ages of 50 and 55, those who committed to a Mediterranean diet \u2013 lean protein, nuts and seeds, whole grains, legumes, healthy oils, and even moderate amounts of pasta and red wine \u2013\u00a0were 20% less likely to report menopause symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaking of the Mediterranean: Seek adventure! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By the time women reach menopause, most have routines in place for hobbies, music, travel, and more. However, shaking up the usual habits can create excitement that can help to offset some of the challenges of menopause. Adventure doesn\u2019t have to include travel. Something as simple as taking an online course to learn a new skill or getting involved with a community organization can enrich this stage of life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMenopause has challenging moments for most women, but it can be a more positive and enjoyable season of life than many messages lead us to believe,\u201d Dr. Schaeffer says. \u201cHaving a doctor you feel comfortable talking with is key.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking for a gynecologist or primary care physician to help you navigate menopause or perimenopause?

Cada vez m\u00e1s mujeres discuten abiertamente sus experiencias y las mujeres m\u00e1s j\u00f3venes quieren saber qu\u00e9 esperar.<\/p>\n<p>La menopausia, que t\u00e9cnicamente comienza una vez que una mujer no ha tenido un per\u00edodo menstrual durante un a\u00f1o, en promedio a los 51 a\u00f1os, es un proceso natural. El hecho de que sea parte de la vida no significa que sea f\u00e1cil. Hasta el 85% de las mujeres experimentan s\u00edntomas relacionados con la menopausia. Los m\u00e1s comunes son los sofocos, el aumento de peso, los problemas para dormir, los cambios de humor y la sequedad vaginal.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfLas buenas noticias? Existen formas comprobadas de aliviar la menopausia de forma segura y eficaz. Aqu\u00ed hay algunos consejos que pueden ayudar:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Evite los alimentos desencadenantes comunes, pero lo que es m\u00e1s importante, averig\u00fce el suyo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La cafe\u00edna, el alcohol y los alimentos azucarados o picantes, especialmente si se consumen antes de acostarse, pueden empeorar los s\u00edntomas relacionados con la menopausia. Ev\u00edtelos cuando pueda, pero no se detenga all\u00ed. A medida que se acerca a la menopausia, lleve un diario de alimentos. Anote todo lo que come y bebe, y registre c\u00f3mo se siente y cualquier respuesta f\u00edsica que note, como hinchaz\u00f3n, cambios de humor o sofocos. Los alimentos que afectan a una mujer, o incluso a la mayor\u00eda de las mujeres, pueden no afectarle a usted y viceversa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prep\u00e1rese para la sequedad vaginal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Los niveles de estr\u00f3geno comienzan a disminuir durante la perimenopausia, los a\u00f1os de transici\u00f3n que conducen al final de la menstruaci\u00f3n. La disminuci\u00f3n de los niveles de estr\u00f3geno puede hacer que el tejido vaginal se vuelva m\u00e1s delgado y se irrite m\u00e1s f\u00e1cilmente. A veces, las mujeres experimentan sequedad que puede hacer que el sexo sea doloroso.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa sequedad vaginal antes, durante y despu\u00e9s de la menopausia es completamente normal\u201d, dice <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/kathleen-schaeffer-do\">Kathleen Schaeffer, DO, FACOG<\/a>, obstetra \/ ginec\u00f3loga de Cooper University Health Care. \u201cEn lugar de preocuparse de que pueda afectarlo, asuma que lo har\u00e1 y prep\u00e1rese. Los humectantes vaginales de venta libre que se aplican cada pocos d\u00edas pueden aliviar las molestias. Los lubricantes tan simples como el aceite de coco que se aplican durante las relaciones sexuales tambi\u00e9n pueden ayudar. Si estos no son suficientes, preg\u00fantele a su obstetra \/ ginec\u00f3logo sobre una crema, tableta, anillo vaginal de dosis baja de estr\u00f3geno o una p\u00edldora moduladora selectiva del receptor de estr\u00f3geno (SERM) &#8220;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Considere la terapia de reemplazo hormonal para la menopausia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si los sofocos interfieren significativamente con su vida diaria, no se asuste. Si se encuentra dentro de los primeros 10 a\u00f1os de la menopausia y est\u00e1 relativamente saludable, la terapia de reemplazo hormonal para la menopausia (MHRT) puede ser una opci\u00f3n que puede brindar alivio.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;La terapia de reemplazo hormonal es exactamente lo que parece&#8221;, dice el Dr. Schaeffer. &#8220;Una mujer toma estr\u00f3geno y progesterona en forma de p\u00edldora, parche, gel o aerosol t\u00f3pico o anillo vaginal para reemplazar el estr\u00f3geno y la progesterona que su cuerpo ha dejado de producir&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>La terapia de reemplazo hormonal conlleva riesgos para las mujeres mayores de 60 a\u00f1os, as\u00ed como para las mujeres con antecedentes de ciertas afecciones. Debe acudir a un ginec\u00f3logo de su confianza para determinar si este tratamiento es adecuado para usted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;La terapia de reemplazo hormonal puede brindar alivio a los candidatos adecuados, pero es una decisi\u00f3n que debe tomarse con cuidado, con un especialista confiable&#8221;, dice el Dr. Schaeffer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Come mejor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las fluctuaciones hormonales, la p\u00e9rdida de masa muscular y la resistencia a la insulina pueden provocar un aumento de peso durante la menopausia. Las opciones saludables probadas y verdaderas (beber agua, hacer ejercicio, limitar las calor\u00edas, comer m\u00e1s frutas y verduras) pueden ayudar, pero considere llevar las cosas m\u00e1s lejos adoptando lo que se conoce como dieta mediterr\u00e1nea.<\/p>\n<p>En un estudio de 6,000 mujeres de entre 50 y 55 a\u00f1os, las que se comprometieron con una dieta mediterr\u00e1nea (prote\u00ednas magras, frutos secos y semillas, cereales integrales, legumbres, aceites saludables e incluso cantidades moderadas de pasta y vino tinto) fueron del 20%. menos probabilidades de informar s\u00edntomas de la menopausia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hablando del Mediterr\u00e1neo: \u00a1busca la aventura!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cuando las mujeres llegan a la menopausia, la mayor\u00eda tiene rutinas establecidas para pasatiempos, m\u00fasica, viajes y m\u00e1s. Sin embargo, cambiar los h\u00e1bitos habituales puede generar entusiasmo que puede ayudar a compensar algunos de los desaf\u00edos de la menopausia. La aventura no tiene por qu\u00e9 incluir viajes. Algo tan simple como tomar un curso en l\u00ednea para aprender una nueva habilidad o involucrarse con una organizaci\u00f3n comunitaria puede enriquecer esta etapa de la vida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa menopausia presenta momentos desafiantes para la mayor\u00eda de las mujeres, pero puede ser una etapa de la vida m\u00e1s positiva y agradable de lo que muchos mensajes nos hacen creer\u201d, dice la Dra. Schaeffer. &#8220;Tener un m\u00e9dico con el que se sienta c\u00f3modo hablando es clave&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfBusca un ginec\u00f3logo o un m\u00e9dico de atenci\u00f3n primaria que le ayude a navegar la menopausia o la perimenopausia?
