I have yet to feel the, what I have heard/read about menopause symptoms. I am 65 and still have not had any hot flashes or discomfort. I read long ago how the Asian women's diet helped in reduced menopause discomfort. I did not want to go through what my mother went through (watching her have beads of sweat instantly show up on her forehead at any given time and other complications). So I started in my late 20's watching my food intake which also stopped the discomfort during my periods. I was amazed. When I turned 55, I noted that my period had fully stopped. I had no issues with that as well. I feel great. 🤞

Dr. Mary Claire, phenomenal conversation. Thanks for being invested in the menopausal female. Please, update the comment in this interview about HRT benefits/risks for females over 60 or 65. It may stop these already reluctant females from considering HRT as an option. The risk myth needs to be debunked with results of the recent, large research completed on older women and HRT effects and published in the Menopause journal of NAMS.

We need to get the insurance companies to pay for HRT. Right now they don't. I have been on HRT since I was 63 at high amounts. $450 every 4 months. Sometimes I use an HSA card sometimes a credit card. Started working out with weights and some cardio on a regular basis at 63 also. Problem; overlooked Vitamin D element. My primary doctor was not checking this. I had to tell him to check my D and mineral levels. This should be something that is always checked yearly. Yes D and Iron was low and probably had been for years. Now have Osteopenia. The way we live now we all at any age need to check on our Vitamin D levels and push for insurance to start covering HRT.

Method of delivery varies. Overall, I wish there was a more precise way and personalized way to address this…actually everything. Which means more research and data is needed.

It worked very well to help inhibit symptoms like hot-flashes and joint pain as well as reduce fatigue and control weight gain! Overall, after a few months of supplementation, it really improved their quality of life and I’m very thankful.

These genitourinary changes primarily occur in response to reduced oestrogen levels and ageing, and do not settle with time.” Vaginal estrogen is low risk/high benefit.

Every woman experiences perimenopause/menopause symptoms slightly different. To say that it is all about lifestyle is not entirely accurate. I have been an athlete my entire life with a super healthy lifestyle & had horrible hot flashes & night sweats causing terrible sleep disruptions but once I started on HRT all those symptoms went away and I am back to my happy healthy self again! My mom on the other hand never had any issues whatsoever and also a lifelong athlete. I agree that having a baseline healthy lifestyle is always helpful but not necessarily in the menopausal symptom department. It seems that is the crazy wildcard for women unfortunately!

Please doctor can you say if one gets menopausal at 60 can be considered to get HRT like a younger woman? And not just be considered too old?

@npkrn6764 Месяц назад

My Mom who is 75 just got on prescription bioidentical cream HRT (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone- but I don't know exact doses- that would be individually based). She's been on it for about 2 months and says she is feeling much better. She said her hot flashes are reduced and her food cravings are less, along with more energy. From my outside perspective, she's also in a much better mood - not as cranky! 😂 She has a great general internal medicine doctor who is luckily educated in this area and absolutely thought this would help her.

@sunnysal3889 Месяц назад

The benefits are higher if HRT is started within 10 years of menopause. But age is not an absolute contradiction. Everyone deserves an individual risk/benefit evaluation.

@saskhiker3935 Месяц назад

She has said the best is to get on HRT within a year of menopause or earlier. Being on esteogen later can't reverse the damage so all the bone loss can't be reversed. And hrt alone isn't the solution, its only part if it. Lifestyle, diet, exercise and hrt.

With the menopause extension thing where they are trying to diminish or eliminate menopause, does that mean women would never stop their period their whole lives? I think it needs to be considered how well our bodies could handle that as we age. The time where we are free from being to bleed every month and not worry about childbirth should be considered a blessing, not a curse.

So...conversion help please relating to protein needs?? 0.8 grams per kg of body weight if im 150lbs, that is a daily need of around 54 g of protein? AND, of course, one must be careful with protein. Too much CAN be bad, hard on kidneys, etc... so if diabetic, or you have any chronic health issues its best to talk with a trusted physician. Hot flashes and nightsweats... I can only get to sleep most nights with ice packs strapped to my head because my 🥵 is mainly felt on my face and ears. Strapping the ice packs to my head cools down my whole body. By the time they warm up, I'm asleep and somewhere in the night I just take it off. Works for me. Most OB-GYNs I've tried to discuss all this with only seem to care about babies and expectant mothers.. its neglectful and maddening, to say the least. They aren't educated in this enough and try to cover that fact by minimizing and gaslight us to get us to just shut up and deal with it. 🙄 And as far as ovaries...what about transplants from deceased women/girls or growing ovaries in labs ?? I know whoever is reading this is probably laughing but seriously...why not???

@ildus48 18 дней назад

The night time hot flashes are definetly connected with low blood glucose. If i wake up with an adrelanine, cortisol surge,( hot flash) i have to eat a salty snack and drink some fruit juice and i fall back to sleep without any problem. The menopausa changes our blood sugar regulation. The same applies for the hot flashes during the day. If we are able to regulate it with healthy diet ie. eating healthy carb, protein and fat together and not starving ourselves than may be our hot flashes would decrease big time🙂. I am 62, postmenopausal, had total hysterectomy 4 years ago, taking 200 mg progesterone rectaly and vaginal estriol cream twice a week.

Help everyone! I’m new at this. I am 70 years old, look many years younger, and feel great. However, my sex drive is very low, and I have vaginal atrophy. My doctor put me on Estradiol 0.01% Vaginal Cream, 42.5 GM. It was so expensive (I think around $70 or $90, don’t remember). So I have only used it a few times. My question is: is this the estrogen that I should be on? Is this considered bio identical hormones? Is it okay to take it only twice a month a. Or is it worth the high cost to take more often? Thank you for your help, as I am new at this.

What do you think of Dr. Maggie Yu’s approach to health? Transform, MD, check her out on RU-vid please. I think if functional medicine, doctors and other doctors got together, especially female doctors, you all could solve all the problems in the world.😊 Thanks for all you do.

@susanbeever5708 16 дней назад

Sugar stimulates Glp-1 that stimulates glp-1 receptor that stimulates TRPV1 on the neurolymphocrine system that leads to stimulation of the GnRH neurons in the hypothalamus and blocks inhibition of the GnRH neurons and leads to too much stimulation of the pituitary to produce LH and FSH. FSH is a major stimulant of SHBG that minds estrogen and testosterone. When a post menopausal woman naturally or surgically induced is exposed to this what little estrogen they have by estrogen replacement is bound to the SHBG and leaves them without enough functional estrogen to inhibit pre osteoclasts from breaking down bone leading to osteoporosis, more general pain from food additives such as carageenan, less vasodilation that leads to hypertension and heart disease.

Please share where she is getting her estradiol so "easily & cheaply"!?! My pharmacy (CVS) was unable to refill my last estradiol prescription because their supplier couldn't get it anymore. I was able to get it at Rite Aid Pharmacy but it was not "cheap", even with insurance. I now get it less expensively at the Costco Mail Order Pharmacy but I still don't consider it to be "cheap" for something I must take for the rest of my life to remain a healthy female in menopause!

I share these same feelings. Just literally trying to wrap my mind around why He would design our bodies in this way. It seems like there could have been other options, but this one was chosen for some reason. The periods, perimenopause…it all just seems so dramatic and uncalled for, on top of everything else we have to endure as women. It seems like He had a little more compassion and thoughtfulness when making men. It’s nice to see someone share the same thoughts and feelings that I do about this. ❤

@@travelpro23 I agree completely with you as well and the other lady's comment. I am a strong Christian; but I just still cannot wrap my head around why God designed the female body this way to undergo so many different health challenges, all throughout life beginning with puberty/the menstrual cycle. Then...perimenopause anywhere from 1-10 years before the awful dreaded horribly life changing menopause that is so disruptive in numerous ways. Lastly and finally if most women don't receive HRT; then we live/exist, but our risk for multiple diseases including Osteoporosis skyrockets. Not even to mention most physicians won't even think to prescribe Bioidentical Testosterone replacement therapy as well which is also so desperately needed for many/most women, but not every single post menopausal women needs it.

IDK this HRT hasn't been studied long enough to know it to is masking symptoms we are all dying we just don't need all the estrogen we're not having kids at this point your body is changing and adapting as it should . I'm listening women neurologists and others Woman Dr who say its not needed. Don't buy into Dr.s selling supplements we don't need and information not studied enough. They say natural and eat right listen the the Healthy life also from the couple.Markus and Cara and The hit podcast with the guest saying we need to not buy into this. Why are these women pushing hrt so much you should ask, Grow old as you should and keep healthy lifestyle and weights and happy living were not all the same . Men don't need testosterone neither their just not eating and living right as well. Men are from mars explains this also.

@saskhiker3935 Месяц назад

Menopause affects all women differently. For many HRT is a godsend. If you can perfectly manage everything and not need hrt good for you, but you are doing women a disservice when you tell them HRT is bad and won't help them. I am someone who had severe symptoms and wasn't able to get better without hrt. Nobody is saying take HRT and do nothing else.
