Menopause Help

What are the possibilities and ways of getting pregnant after Menopause for Women?

This question may look awkward but the reality is that My wife is unable to give birth earlier due to myself and our late marriage. We are yearning for a child atleast if not several. Kindly help. I am 48 and she is 44. We can't also spend lot of money . Advance thanks for everybody helping me or answering this question. Good Day

Aww. Well, at 44 is she done with complete menopause, or is she going through perimenopause? If she's already had complete menopause, then she cant get pregnant anymore. There's still a small chance that she can get pregnant if she's in perimenopause, but it will be very difficult and risky. If you guys want children and she can't get pregnant, domestic adoptions tend to be inexpensive, and you can get children of any age if you don't want a little baby. Also, perhaps maybe there's someone willing to be a surrogate for you? Fertility treatments are sometimes covered b y insurance, so look into that. Good luck. :)

Menopause Hot Flushes Natural Remedies

What natural remedy can I take for hot flushes?

I have reluctantly given in to the menopause and have started to get hot flushes (though I tell other women I don't get them). Can any of you ladies recommed a tried a tested natural remedy or do I have to go to my GP.

Hi Sue, regular physical exercise is necessary to protect against bone loss. Exercise has many other benefits as well.

A diet that is low in saturated fats and cholesterol and high in complex carbohydrates, such as grains, fruits and vegetables is important.2

Vitamin E supplementation may reduce symptoms such as Hot Flashes, night sweats, dizziness, palpitations, fatigue, and breathing difficulties.,,

Calcium is important in maintaining bone mass.

Magnesium intake is often low in women with osteoporosis. Low magnesium intake is associated with low bone mineral content (BMC).

Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption.

Boron reduces urinary calcium loss and increases serum levels of 17 estradiol (estrogen).

Essential fatty acids can help prevent dryness of the hair, skin and vaginal tissues.

Soy supplementation has been suggested as a possible alternative to hormone replacement therapy. Soy isoflavones act as estrogen-like compounds. Forty-five grams of dietary soy, per day for 12 weeks was shown to decrease post-menopausal hot flashes.

Certain herbs such as black cohosh, chasteberry, licorice and dong quai have shown to have a beneficial effect in managing many of the Menopause Symptoms.
