As Aubrey de Gray (gerontologist) assures, in a quarter of a century women will no longer have problems during menopause. Over the past few years, recuperative medicine and cellular technology have made a real breakthrough and today the idea of significantly increasing the time allotted to women by nature for conception and childbirth is not so fantastic.
Anti-aging therapy can also be used to rejuvenate the human reproductive organs. For example, today, the stimulation of the ovaries, which contributes to the onset of conception, is used. Using the methods of rejuvenation, you can create new tissues of the ovaries. But not all specialists support the point of view of Aubrey de Gray. Now there are no confirmed studies grounds to believe that stem cells are able to restore and update ovarian tissue in women.
If at the present time the idea that the ovaries really rejuvenate and restore causes a number of questions and mistrust, then the opinion that the earliest advance of menopause and a woman is promoted by an unhealthy lifestyle and bad habits, all experts agree. According to one of the studies, cigarettes are approaching the onset of menopause for several years. In one of the medical schools in Pennsylvania, a group of specialists led by Dr. Samantha Butts found that menopausal women who smoke European women are almost 10 years ahead of schedule. In addition, 7% of European women who participated in the experiment, there were genetic changes.
Menopause is a transitional period, when in the body of a woman there are physical, psychological, hormonal changes. During this period menstruation stops, and the actual stage of aging begins. This period is carried on individually, but in most cases it is noted that sleep disturbance, vaginal dryness, fever, sweating, etc. The specialists have developed some fairly effective methods for dealing with severe menopausal symptoms, for example, hormone therapy.
A recent study showed that antidepressants (venlafaxine hydrochloride) helps to cope with certain symptoms of menopause no worse than the small estrogen dosages prescribed for hormone therapy.
Hormone therapy, which is prescribed to women during the menopause, can lead to severe adverse reactions during long-term treatment and experts strongly recommend reducing dosages and trying to drink less hormones. It has now been established that there is a fairly effective and safer hormone replacement therapy.
The action of antidepressants was tested on a group of voluntary participants (more than 300 women), who had pronounced symptoms of menopause. All participants were divided into groups, in one participant received venlafaxine (antidepressant), in the other, hormonal therapy was prescribed (small doses of estradiol). The experiment lasted two months, during which experts recorded all the unpleasant symptoms that arose in women. As a result, the researchers concluded that the frequency and strength of menopausal symptoms decreased by almost 53% in the group taking estradiol, and almost 48% in the group taking antidepressants. In the group of women who took a placebo, specialists recorded a reduction in symptoms of almost 29%.
