The term "climax" in Greek means "step ladder". This is really a new stage in the life of a woman, when the childbearing function is gradually fading, the body is rebuilding, beginning with the brain regions - the pituitary and hypothalamus, responsible for the entry of sex hormones into the blood, the ovaries reduce the production of estrogens. It is the reduction of these hormones that leads to a deterioration of the woman's well-being: depression and irritability, frequent headaches, hot flushes and sweating, insomnia, cardiac arrhythmia. In this period, existing diseases can worsen. Often a woman is unable to cope with such problems on her own and this is not necessary, because modern medicine has a sufficient arsenal of funds for the treatment of menopause in women.

Many classify them as plant, but as part of homeopathic remedies, in addition to herbs, they also use a low content of chemical elements. With the climax, the goal of homeopathy is to compensate for the lack of sex hormones, which gradually decline with the extinction of the ovarian function, and this is an irreversible process.

Treatment of Artificial Menopause
Artificial menopause occurs as a result of violent interference with the functioning of the ovaries. This need arises with a number of gynecological diagnoses, when the ovaries or uterus are removed. With the removal of the ovaries, the production of hormones abruptly stops, when one uterus is removed, their function fades away gradually, at operation the uterine artery is bandaged, there is a shortage of blood supply to the ovaries, they suffer. Most women suffer artificial menopause much harder than natural menopause.
Treatment of artificial climax is aimed at eliminating the accompanying symptoms. Of these, you can identify early and late symptoms. To the early are:
- psycho-vegetative: frequent hot flashes, excessive sweating, headaches, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, fears, etc .;
- gynecological: sensation of dryness and itching in the vagina;
- decrease in mental abilities: problems with memorization, extinction of curiosity to something new.
This period can last from one to five years. In later stages of artificial menopause, symptoms appear:
- cardiovascular diseases: high blood pressure, spasms of blood vessels, tachycardia;
- urological: frequent urge to urinate, cystitis, urinary incontinence;
- diseases of the musculoskeletal system (arthritis, arthrosis, osteoporosis);
- aging of the skin.
In the treatment of artificial climax, the main thing is the use of hormone replacement therapy. Even if at first the symptoms of menopause are not very obvious, it is not worth to refuse treatment of HRT. Later its manifestations will lead to much greater troubles and consequences.
Treatment of pathological menopause
Not always climax comes on time, it runs smoothly or with minor deviations. There are cases of menopause at 35-40 years. Late and protracted menopause also has many unpleasant moments in the life of a woman: in addition to the above violations, more severe manifestations occur, such as heavy bleeding, the appearance of tumors, changes in the mammary glands (mastopathy, etc.), etc. Such a climacterium is called pathological. Treatment of pathological menopause is a complex and individual approach to each patient. For this, medicamental non-hormonal therapy, hormonal and non-medicamentous, is used. To date, the most effective is hormone replacement therapy. Along with treatment, medications are prescribed for psychotherapy, homeopathy, herbal medicine, vitamins, physical therapy, hydrotherapy, recommend an active lifestyle and exercise.
Treatment of hot flushes with menopause
Hormonal imbalance in menopause leads to abnormalities in the thermoregulation of the woman's body, which occurs in the hypothalamus - the brain. The lack of estrogens gives a false signal to the hypothalamus about thermal overheating, as a result of which the body reduces the temperature. Because of this, the heart begins to beat faster, the vessels expand, letting the increased blood volume, the woman feels the hot flushes. Moderate tides cause mild discomfort, and frequent and prolonged ones spoil life, it is necessary to fight with them. To treat tides with menopause, resorted if you can not weaken them by following the following recommendations:
- avoid being indoors or outdoors with high temperatures;
- Do not sit next to open sources of heat (sauna, fireplace, other heaters);
- not to eat spicy food;
- not drink strong alcoholic beverages, coffee;
- Do not smoke;
- Do not wear synthetic clothing;
- avoid stress and excessive physical exertion.
If compliance with these tips does not reduce the intensity of tides, you need to consult a doctor and start medication. Depending on the severity of the condition, the characteristics of the organism and the presence of associated diseases, the doctor will prescribe treatment. It can be hormone replacement therapy, with which the deficit of estrogen is replenished, and hence the tides are reduced. If the hot flashes occur against the background of high blood pressure, then it is necessary to take antihypertensive drugs. With depressive states, antidepressants will help, and nervous overexcitation will reduce sedatives. If the hot wave is covered, you should try to pull yourself together, hold your breath, count to seven and slowly release the air, repeat it several times. It will help to calm down, relax. You can also resort to using a fan or fan for cold blowing, take a few sips of cold water.
Treatment of sweating with menopause
An unchanging companion of hot flushes is hyperhidrosis. And if the tides create a certain discomfort in a woman's life, sweating can completely take her out of balance. A woman has to change her clothes after speaking on a body of cold sweat, often to wash, because there is an unpleasant smell, because of this there are frequent nocturnal awakenings that end in insomnia. All this knocks out and leads to a doctor for help. Treatment of sweating in menopause is similar to the treatment of hot flashes: they use hormone replacement therapy, antidepressants, sedatives, alternative remedies with phytotherapy. Well calmed valerian, hawthorn, motherwort. Also for the preparation of broths and tinctures use tsimitsifugu, Abraham tree, sepia, pulsatil, etc.
Treatment of pruritus with menopause
One of the negative consequences of menopause is a decrease in the secretion of the genital organs, which leads to atrophic vaginitis (excessive dryness), causing itching of the perineum and the vagina. Itching can be a signal of more severe diagnoses accompanying menopause due to decreased immunity and requiring treatment:
- diabetes mellitus, in which, due to high blood sugar levels, blood supply to tissues is disrupted, and sugar in urine irritates the mucous membranes;
- inflammation of the urinary organs, as a result of which the products of urea decomposition due to frequent urination come into contact with the vulva;
- Dermatitis, which can be triggered by detergent or synthetic linen;
- thrush - caused by candida fungus;
- vulvovaginitis - inflammation of the vulva and vaginal mucosa, often provoked by mechanical effects due to itching, caused by a decrease in mucosal secretions;
- infectious diseases: gardnerellez, herpes, trichomoniasis; itching is caused by their pathogens;
- tumors of the genital organs, pathogenic bacteria which secrete toxins and change the microflora, which leads to itching.
Fighting the consequences of ailments does not make sense, so you need to see a doctor and identify the cause of the itching. Treatment of pruritus with menopause caused by atrophic vaginitis, is the use of antiseptic, moisturizing and softening ointments, gels, creams, suppositories. Here are some candles that remove the itch, made on the basis of herbs:
- vagical contains calendula officinalis;
- feminela, in the manufacture of tea tree extract, chamomile, mallow, fungus,
- cicatridine, based on calendula, aloe vera, tea tree oil.
Among the commonly used ointments are fenistil-gel, dropalen, panthenol, radevit.
With insufficient effectiveness of these drugs and in the absence of contraindications hormonal preparations are prescribed:
- estrokad, candles, increase the secretion of the mucous of the genital organs;
- ovestin, cream, candles, ointment, normalizes the hormonal background, is a barrier to pathogenic bacteria;
- estriol, cream, candles, contribute to the development of mucous in the vagina.
If the above-described diseases are identified, the doctor will prescribe symptomatic therapy. So, with diabetes, glucose levels will be supported by such drugs as metformin, mannil, syfor. With thrush, apply pimafucin, clotrimazole, miconazole. Metrodimazole will help get rid of gardnerellez. Herpes are treated with herpferon, valtrex, alpizarin, and also prescribe immunomodulators for ingestion. With vulvovaginitis, preparations in the form of suppositories of betadine, iodoxir, terzhinan will help. The treatment of dermatitis is not only in the use of creams visidima, rodevita, but also the observance of the diet.
Treatment of mastitis in menopause
The need for treatment of mastopathy in menopause occurs when from the pathologically expanded connective tissue of the mammary glands, compaction and cysts are formed. To the causes provoking mastopathy during menopause, hormonal reorganization of an organism concerns. Women with an early menopause are more likely to develop the disease. The danger of ignoring mastopathy is the increased risk of its degeneration into a malignant tumor in the menopausal period. It is necessary to pay attention to such symptoms as painful sensations, tuberosity, asymmetry of the breasts, cracked nipples and discharge from them, an increase in the lymph nodes by the armpits. There are several types of mastopathy and from whether it is diffuse or nodular, a treatment regimen is determined. There is no one for all the algorithm of treatment. With diffuse mastopathy, hormonal, homeopathic and phytotherapy are prescribed. Hormonal therapy involves the use of antiestrogens, for example tamoxifen, phareston. So, women in menopause are recommended to take 20 mg of tamoxifen a day lasting from a month to three. Also adjust the lifestyle, nutrition, recommend the selection of a convenient bra size, vitamins A, C, E, B, especially B6. Nodular mastopathy requires surgical intervention and rarely resolves itself without surgery. It will help to avoid the bigger troubles associated with this problem, regular visits to the doctor (at least once every six months) and holding a mammogram. Also, do not neglect the vitamin and mineral complexes for women during menopause, which contain all the components necessary for this period, you should avoid stress, balance the diet.
Treatment of uterine bleeding with menopause
The scheme of treatment of uterine bleeding in menopause depends on the reasons that led to this. They can be caused by:
- diseases of reproductive organs;
- hormonal disorders (dysfunctional);
- medicinal preparations (iatrogenic);
- pathologies of other organs.
In the menopausal period, most often, dysfunctional bleeding occurs. During this period there is a hormonal reconstruction of the body, ovulation of the egg cell is disrupted, the thickness of the endometrium is increased, stagnant processes of the mucosa and blood arise. The endometrium is rejected unevenly, and at the same time the blood coagulability is reduced. Also, the psycho-emotional state of women, infectious diseases can contribute to the development of bleeding. Independently to solve this problem means to expose your life to mortal danger. With very heavy bleeding, you need to call an ambulance, with a moderate - to see a doctor. What can be done at home:
- take a horizontal position, under the feet while placing a pillow;
- on the bottom of the stomach to put cold, after 10-15 minutes for 5 minutes to clean, repeat again, do this for an hour or two;
- take abundant drink, making up for the loss of fluids;
- take blood-restorative medications as prescribed by the doctor (calcium gluconate, ascorbic acid, dicinone, vikasol);
- infusions and decoctions of such herbs: nettle, field horsetail, water pepper, birch bark, yarrow, shepherd's bag.
If a woman still enters the hospital, then stop bleeding is possible with hormonal medications, such as combined oral contraceptives regulon, zhane, non-vellon, etc., as well as blood-restoring facilities. Often there is a need for surgical intervention. There are several methods of stopping bleeding. In the climacteric period, scraping is most often used, but there is also a cold treatment (cryodistruction), and removal of the endometrium with a laser (ablation). With non-dysfunctional bleeding, treatment focuses on the focus of the disease. In addition to surgery, cancer is treated with chemotherapy and irradiation.
Treatment of endometriosis with menopause
In the normal course of menopause, on the background of extinction of the functions of the ovary, the endometrium (mucous membrane of the uterus) decreases. But sometimes the reverse process occurs, the epithelium of the uterus shows increased activity and begins to multiply intensively. This disease is called endometriosis. The exact reasons for its occurrence are not entirely clear, but it is established that the risk factors are overweight, diabetes, infectious diseases, and operations on the internal genital organs. The treatment of endometriosis in menopause differs from treatment in reproductive age and is conservative and surgical. Conservative therapy involves the use of hormonal drugs to eliminate the imbalance of hormones. Assign norkolut (in the composition of progesterone), gestrinone, danazol (reduce the synthesis of estrogens), zoladex. Long-term treatment (from 6 to 9 months), to remove the painful sensations take no-shpu, papaverine, etc., for calming the nervous system - sedatives. With the permission of the doctor, you can apply and alternative recipes. For ingestion, infusions and broths from the boron uterus, the root of the red toothbrush, are prepared; for syringing - an infusion of propolis.
Surgery is necessary in the case, or when the disease has not succumbed to conservative treatment, or it has been discovered late and there are complications. The operation is to remove the uterus. Such a radical measure is justified by the fact that neglected endometriosis threatens a woman with severe anemia, peritonitis and even cancer.
Treatment of ovarian cysts with menopause
Ovarian cysts in the reproductive age of women are most often functional and have the ability to resolve. In women, at the age of menopause, when there is no menstruation it is impossible. Cysts are of several types (serous, mucinous, papillary, parovarial, dermoid, endometrioid), but they all carry the risk of degeneration into malignant formations. Making decisions to remove or try to treat a doctor weighs factors such as: how long does the cyst originate, what is its size, its density, on one ovary or both, single or multicameral, is there a congestion in the abdominal cavity of the fluid? If the neoplasm is not dermoid, mucinous or papillary, not large (up to 5 mm) and the doctor does not see the prerequisites for his degeneration into cancer, he can prescribe conservative treatment. It consists in the normalization of the hormonal background (drugs of rigevidon, ovidon, marvelon). Also prescribed progestogen, anti-estrogens, androgens, anabolics, vitamins E, C, immunostimulants, painkillers, anti-inflammatory suppositories.
Surgical intervention involves laparoscopy of the cyst or laparotomy of the organs. Laparoscopy makes it possible to remove the cyst itself through small incisions. In more serious cases, laparotomy is used when it is necessary to remove the ovaries and even the uterus.
Treatment of fibroids with menopause
Myoma of the uterus is a benign tumor that forms in the tissues of its muscles. The causes of the appearance of fibroids are not fully understood, but they assume that a major role in this is played by violations of the hormonal balance of women. With a significant predominance of the synthesis of estrogens over progesterone, the appearance of neoplasms is possible. Climax is the period in the life of a woman when hormonal failure occurs. Other factors influencing the appearance of fibroids may be heredity, abortion, diabetes, obesity, stress.
Treatment of uterine fibroids with menopause depends on its size, the number and size of tumors, the age of the patient. If the myoma appeared before the onset of menopause, then there is a small chance that with the extinction of the function of the ovaries and, as a consequence, a decrease in the production of hormones, it will not grow. But there are not many such cases. Most often resort to conservative or surgical treatment. The drug presupposes the patient receiving hormonal drugs in combination with other medications that support the body or are directed at concomitant diseases. Modern methods of treating fibroids include embolization - overlap of uterine arteries. This procedure is carried out in a hospital, without anesthesia. Due to the blood flow to the nodes of the myoma, blood does not flow and it dries up. Another modern method is the FUS-ablation of nodes, their destruction by high-frequency ultrasound. With large and multiple neoplasms, in advanced cases resort to radical measures - removal of the uterus, and sometimes of the appendages.
Treatment of pain in joints with menopause
Violation of the hormonal background in the menopause leads to a decrease in the intensity of metabolic processes in the bones, the washing out of calcium from the bones, an increase in its porosity, and hence, strength. Osteoporosis, osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia, resulting from changes in the discs and ligaments, are accompanied by pain. Treatment of pain in joints with menopause is to stop pain syndromes, remove inflammation, strengthen bone tissue. For this purpose, prescribed painkillers and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, diclofenac, nurofen, piroxicam). In the pharmaceutical market, there are many different ointments and gels, which are also used for joint pain (chondroxide, diclofenac, fastum gel, finalgon). To replenish calcium, take calcium supplements, vitamin D3. Enzyme drugs will increase blood circulation. Strengthening of the muscular corset plays an important role in the fight against diseases of the spine. To do this, it is necessary to lead an active life, do physical exercises, do moderate physical work, periodically do massage and manual therapy. Recipes of alternative medicine offer a variety of herbal baths, warming compresses, which can also be used.
Treatment of cystitis in menopause
With menopause, there is a chance of developing postmenopausal cystitis, the occurrence of which is possible due to atrophic processes of the body during this period. The mucous membrane of the bladder becomes thinner, it bleeds. Protective mechanisms weaken, opening the way to pathogenic bacteria. About the presence of cystitis, the body signals with frequent urge, cuts and pain when urinating, turbid, and sometimes with blood urine. Treatment of cystitis in menopause should be preceded by a survey consisting of a cystoscopy to determine the condition of the bladder and urethral mucosa, a laboratory urine test, ultrasound of the bladder and kidneys, the study of urine culture on the species and the concentration of bacteria. After this, the algorithm of treatment is determined. First of all, it is aimed at destroying bacteria if the cystitis is infectious. In this case antibiotics are used for treatment, which can be prescribed only by a doctor. Also resort to reception of uroseptic preparations, antispasmodics for anesthesia, phytotherapy (plentiful drink of decoctions of field horsetail, bearberry, half-pala). Hormone replacement therapy will help restore the balance of sex hormones. Using hormonal drugs inside the vagina can increase blood circulation in the pelvic organs, and therefore increase the tone of the muscles of the bladder, increase the thickness of the mucosa, its protective properties.
Women need to take seriously the problem of post-menopausal cystitis, Underestimation of the danger can lead to more serious complications and consequences associated with kidney disease.
Treatment of urinary incontinence with menopause
In the process of emptying the bladder, special muscles - sphincters are involved. By receiving an impulse from the brain about its filling, they relax, allowing the urine to flow out. In the usual state, the sphincters are compressed. Thus, a person controls the dispatch of his natural needs. Muscle relaxation in menopause leads to the fact that control over sphincters is lost. Strengthen this process may lack (surgery to remove the uterus) or omission of the uterus, infection of the genitourinary system. With age-related urinary incontinence, more than 80% of women around the world are facing after 65-70 years. Is there any treatment for urinary incontinence in menopause? The answer is yes. The method of struggle depends on the stress or urge incontinence. With stressful spontaneous urination (with coughing, laughing, sneezing), caused by the weakening and loosening of the muscles of the pelvic organs, the treatment is aimed at strengthening them. This can be physical exercise, the use of hormonal drugs containing estrogens, surgery. Urgent incontinence is the delay in the receipt of a signal from the brain about the need for emptying, which occurs earlier than the woman reaches the toilet. In this case, prescribe drugs that reduce the activity of the bladder, also strengthen muscles through exercise, sometimes resort to surgery. Drugs used for urgent incontinence include spasmox, rolten, pantogam, imipramine, etc. There are modern techniques that "teach" the brain to recognize signals emanating from the bladder. A woman can and herself contribute to the elimination of the problem, refusing to eat sharp and fatty foods, coffee, alcohol, controlling her weight, doing exercises to squeeze and unclench the pelvic muscles.
Treatment of headache with menopause
One of the unpleasant manifestations of menopause is headache. The culprit of its manifestation is the same complex of hormonal changes as the period of menopause. Treatment of headache with menopause is to relieve pain symptoms. In addition to analgesics and antispasmodics, which should be taken during seizures, there are various other ways to ease the pain. It is necessary to measure blood pressure, tk. His deviation from the norm also provokes attacks. At high blood pressure, it is necessary to drink hypotensive drugs. Headache, especially migraine, is capable of completely knocking the woman out of the rut, so it's worth trying all the known options to combat it. You need to try to relax by resorting to respiratory gymnastics, inhaling and slowly breathing out to breathe out the air. Warm foot baths, compresses on the forehead of cabbage leaves, vinegar or lemon solutions, tea from melissa, mint, St. John's wort, head massage - these are the measures that can at least reduce the intensity of the headache. Restoring the hormonal balance using hormone replacement therapy can help solve this problem. These drugs include climen, tsimitsifuga, divina. Women are well known for remens, climaticplant - homeopathic remedies. Women also benefit from vitamin and mineral complexes. Independent selection of drugs is not recommended, because to menopausal age, people are usually burdened by other diagnoses, so unwanted side effects are possible.
Treatment of panic attacks with menopause
The course of menopause may be accompanied by attacks of so-called panic attacks. Their precursors are sensations of lack of oxygen, numbness of limbs, dizziness, weakness, sudden hot flashes and sweating, chills. There is a sense of danger, which ostensibly lies in wait on all sides of oneself and loved ones, fear of death. My heart starts to beat faster. At this time there is a large release into the body of adrenaline. To cope with such attacks is rather difficult, so an appeal to such specialists as gynecologist, psychotherapist, neurologist, endocrinologist will help determine the method of fighting these unpleasant symptoms. The treatment of panic attacks with menopause consists of an integrated approach:
- medicamentous with the help of antidepressants, sedatives, tranquilizers, hormones;
- non-drug using phytotherapy, exercise, massage, respiratory gymnastics, water procedures.
Treatment of dizziness in menopause
Dizziness with menopause may be caused by insufficient synthesis of estrogen in the body of a woman, because hormones have a direct effect on the function of the brain. When trying to lose weight with the transition to a strict diet, there are also possible such conditions, which in medicine are called vertigo. They are characterized by a loss of balance, the feeling of circling in the air surrounding objects, nausea, vomiting. For the treatment of dizziness in menopause resort to hormone replacement therapy and non-drug treatment. The latter includes drinking a lot of water, a well-balanced diet rich in vitamins, moderate physical activity, you can, for example, do yoga, swimming. Help breathing and relaxing exercises.
Treatment of sleep disorders with menopause
Changes at the hormonal level often lead to sleep disturbances. Treatment of sleep disturbances in menopause is possible with the help of hormone replacement therapy. But since its reception has enough grounds for a cautious approach (the danger of developing tumors), the following recommendations can be applied:
- Do not gorge on before going to sleep;
- to walk on foot before going to bed;
- ventilate the room in which you sleep, and it is better to sleep with the open window;
- try to fall asleep in the evening at the same time;
- do not sleep during the day;
- reduce the intake of caffeine;
- to drink before a dream warm milk with honey;
- take sedative phytopreparations (valerian root, lemon balm, hawthorn).
Go to sleeping pills and tranquilizers does not make sense, because this does not remove the problem, but will only lead to addiction. They can take no more than 1-2 weeks in order to give the body a rest.
Treatment of depression with menopause
One of the most disturbing and dangerous manifestations of menopause is depression. This condition is characterized by lingering malaise, loss of interest in life, restriction of communication with others, feelings of fear and anxiety, suicidal thoughts. It is doubly dangerous if a woman at a younger age has already experienced such a condition. Treatment of depression with menopause can not do without the participation of a doctor. It is difficult for one person to cope with this problem. Hormone replacement therapy (using a synthetic analogue of estradiol) in combination with antidepressants will change the psychoemotional state of the patient for the better. To neutralize the effects of HRT on the uncontrolled proliferation of uterine cells, the hormone dydrogesterone is prescribed. In the treatment of depression, psychotherapy, autogenous training is also used. Attentive and caring attitude of relatives will help to survive a difficult time for a woman.
Treatment of insomnia with menopause
Sleep disturbance during menopause often changes into a more severe phase-chronic insomnia.
