Benefits of Menopause

For most women, the thought of menopause is usually associated with an array of unpleasant symptoms. Due to the hormonal changes the body is undergoing, you are likely to start experiencing vaginal dryness, mood swings, hot flashes, sleep disturbance, thinning hair, and many other unwelcome symptoms. However, aside from all the negativity about menopause, some changes caused by reduced female hormone levels are favorable. However, when the symptoms of menopause become too unbearable, it is time to consider hormone replacement therapy. We offer several services at the Harley Institute, from hormone therapy to anti-aging treatments, from rejuvenating your body.

Although not everybody experiences menopause the same way, these social and emotional changes can be stimulating for some. This has resulted in many women altering their perception about menopause and viewing it as a welcome change because of the following factors.

No More Periods

Menopause is the end of the menstrual cycle, which is a reason to celebrate for most women. This means there’s no more dealing with pads or tampons, as well as no more menstrual camping. The perimenopausal years are often associated with heavy and irregular bleeding; this marks the end of the constant guessing game of when your menstrual periods will stop or start. Another benefit of menopause is the inability to get pregnant, which allows you to enjoy intimacy without worry.

No More PMS

In the weeks leading to your menstrual period, you are likely to experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which causes several emotional and physical symptoms. Some of these symptoms include headaches, irritability, breast tenderness, and food cravings. Most women experience at least one of these symptoms every month, and as estrogen levels fall and rise, they can temporarily worsen. However, through hormone replacement therapy, we can control the hormonal fluxes during menopause.

The End of Hormonal Headaches

Statistics have shown that migraines affect women three times more often compared to men. A large percentage of these women are experiencing menstrual migraines that coincide with menstruation and ovulation. These migraines are sometimes accompanied by vomiting, nausea, light- or sound sensitivity. During a regular menstrual cycle, fluctuation of the hormones progesterone and estrogen is the main reason for menstrual headaches. Our experts recommend hormone therapy replacement as a practical solution during turbulent hormonal changes.

Great Self-Assurance

A familiar feeling for postmenopausal women is the feeling of empowerment, which is partly attributed to the biological changes during menopause. It is refreshing for women not to live in constant fear of pregnancy risks, mood swings, and a bunch of other PMS symptoms. In addition, during this stage in life, your children are older, giving you the freedom to pursue your personal and professional ambitions. Menopause enhances your drive towards going for what you want with a great sense of confidence, knowing you can handle whatever comes your way.
