I made a decision many years ago. I didn’t intend to experience menopause. Hotari, night sweat, mood fluctuations, brain fog -this was not like a party. I thought I would skip it.
For a long time, it seemed that my plan was going well: I was in my late 50s before flashing once. Then I had another. And I think you know where this is heading -I had something else. (Sure, I didn’t have a period of almost a year, but was my cycle always unstable?) My master plan failed! But this didn’t mean I was going to sweat on that bad night.
For 20 years, I had a great deal of hand with a public practitioner. I thought she was a woman who is a few years older than me and tells me that she is in the corner, including her menopause. Well, last spring she had a nerve to retire early. It turned out that this was just four months ago, as if my hottiri was GE. Facing an alternative GP, which wasn’t enough to do menstruation, I need an OB-GYN, which specializes in the treatment of menopause in my multinational location Boston area. I judged that. And there is! (But not everyone has my good luck: a 2023 survey It turned out that only 31.3 % of the OB-GYN residency program contain menopause training. I was very lucky to find a true expert. )
I booked a TV sit Martha K. RichardsonMD, the obstetric and gynecologist certified by the Board, menopause education is passionate. “The pediatrician is discussing adolescence, has a lot of childbirth education, and there is little preparation for menopause in the clinical environment,” she later told me. In the appointment, I asked Dr. Richardson what to stop almost hot in business hours. A seizure had a seizure, and I called them. By not sleeping all night, they made me feel me, like an infant, with one of the more unwanted irony of life. As I expected, she proposed hormone therapy (also called hormone replenishment therapy).
As you know, I was not a Blase to look at hormone therapy. This is the process of adding a part of the hormone that the body has stopped. As long as drugs, alcohol, and medicine go, I have always been annoying. Since I didn’t take a pillar of birth control, I hate the regulation of my regulation, which was always a rebellion. “Baby Step” I told Dr. Richardson. In other words, it means that you wanted a hormone as low as possible from the beginning.
