How Can I Decrease My Symptoms?
- Stop smoking, as it impairs the functioning of your ovaries
- Keep a menstrual diary, including dates, flow, and moods, so you will know what worsens your symptoms
- Maintain a normal body weight, because obesity predisposes you to fibroid tumors and endometrial hyperplasia
- Use a water-based lubricant for sex, never petroleum jelly
- Avoid spicy food, hot beverages, and alcohol to prevent hot flashes
- Eat soy products and soy drinks
- Avoid salt, sugar, and caffeine
- Practice good sleep hygiene by going to bed at the same time every night, using cotton sheets with a high thread count, and keeping the bedroom dark and quiet
- Exercise to improve mood, keep fatty deposits from settling around your waist, and strengthen your bones
- Dress in layers, so if you feel hot, you can remove some clothing
- Take a dietary supplement containing Vitamin D, calcium, and Vitamin E
- Stay in air conditioned areas
- If symptoms persist, taking bio-identical progesterone (ProFeme®) alone or in combination with bio-identical testosterone (AndroFeme®) is usually required.
ProFeme® costs $60 for 50gms of 3.2% bioidentical natural progesterone cream plus $15 p&h which is generally 2 months supply.
