There is a lot of information—and mis-information—out there about menopause. Here is a list of the most common questions that we receive, together with answers.

General Menopause

Q: What is peri-menopause?

A: Peri-menopause refers to the years leading to menopause. Many women begin to experience symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, insomnia and low-level depression, even though their menstrual cycles continue. For other women, it is simply the continuation of PMS symptoms.

Peri-menopause can begin as early as 13 years before menopause
It can begin as early as your 30s or in your 40s
Length of your periods, intensity, and time between them may change
It can last briefly or for many years

Q: What is menopause?

A: Menopause occurs officially when your ovaries stop functioning and your periods stop. Blood tests can measure the amount of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in your blood to help determine the onset of menopause.

Q: Why is hormone balance so important to women?

A: The effects of shifting hormones in women are the underlying cause for menopause symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, headaches, hot flashes, fatigue, night sweats and low libido. Balanced hormones are necessary for optimal health and well being.

Q: I’ve been wondering if any of my loved ones have noticed a change in me and realize I'm going through menopause. I'm not sure how to approach the subject with them.

A: Sometimes having a candid conversation with a girl friend going through menopause will help you both find the humor in this natural process and also become more comfortable when speaking with your family about the signs of menopause and the issues that may come up. Remember, your loved ones love you.

Q: I feel self-conscious or a bit intimidated talking to my doctor about my menopause experiences.

A: Your relationship with your doctor is a very personal one. Talking openly about sexual issues and other changes may be uncomfortable, but having your questions answered is important to your peace of mind. Read up on your concerns and options and decide which lifestyle changes you are willing to make so that you can make good decisions. Menopause is not a disease or illness and doesn't need to be treated as such. With the Women’s Health Initiative results on HRT, most doctors are opening to considering other nutritional and herbal remedies. Be sure to tell your doctor about other healthcare practitioners you may be seeing, such as a nutritionist or acupuncturist. Your doctor will appreciate your openness and participation in staying well and happy.

Q: What are herbs?

A: Herbs are plants that have been long known to have beneficial effects on a wide range of human diseases and conditions. In herbal therapies, herbs are primarily used to address systemic symptom patterns by combining several diversified active ingredients in low doses. Herb components gently stimulate or calm various aspects of bodily functions. Combining several herbs enhances the benefits and regulates the effects, creating a gentle and beneficial response to signs of menopause. The responsible use of herbs and other natural substances are an established means to improve and enhance overall health. Just as you eat a balanced diet with many different foods to maintain nutritional balance, herbal formulas balance bodily systems.

Q: What are isoflavones?

A: Isoflavones are compounds that are structurally similar to the body's natural form of estrogen. Clinical studies have found them to be effective in inhibiting bone re-sorption and enhancing bone formation, thus possibly providing a protective effect against osteoporosis. The estrogen-like activity of isoflavones can also help reduce hot flashes and relieve night sweats. There have been a number of clinical studies to evaluate the cardiovascular benefits of isoflavones. Supplementation with the Isoflavones Genistein, Daidzein, Biochanin, and Formononetin, as found in red clover, reduces serum total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides in animals and humans, according to Nutritioin, Metabolism, and Cardiovascular Disease, June 2000.

Q: What are phytoestrogens and phytoprogestins?

A: Phytoestrogens and phytoprogestins represent a family of plant compounds that have been shown to have both estrogenic and antiestrogenic properties. For many women, the increased risk of breast cancer, heart attack, stroke, blood clots, and other negative side effects resulting from pharmaceutical and chemically compounded hormone therapies has created a renewed interest in using herbs as a source of natural estrogen and progesterone for hormone balance, support and replenishment.

Q: What are the symptoms of estrogen dominance, estrogen deficiency, progesterone dominance, and progesterone deficiency?

A: Most women need a balance of estrogen and progesterone at some level, throughout their lives. Too much—or not enough—of either can result in uncomfortable symptoms. Femmerol helps re-establish hormone balance to relieving the following effects:
