Olinda Rola asked:
Are there signs and symptoms of menopause? Absolutely! It is a logical question to ask with millions of women experiencing one or more of the signs and symptoms of menopause at this very moment! The so-called ‘change’ will happen, but experiencing many of the symptoms of menopause as early as ages 30’s or 40’s is not normal.
Some of the signs listed below are subtle and may appear to have little relationship to being menopause symptoms. Here is a list of common signs and symptoms of menopause:
1 - Allergy symptoms
2 - Chronic fatigue and morning sluggishness
3 - Craving sweets, caffeine and carbohydrates with unstable blood sugar levels
4 - Depression, anxiety and mood swings
5 - Endometriosis
6 - Facial hair growth
7 - Hair loss, thinning hair
8 - Low metabolism
9 - Symptoms of low thyroid with normal T3 and T4 levels
10 - Urinary tract and yeast infections
11 - Uterine fibroids
12 - Water retention, unexplained weight gain especially in hips, waist and stomach
Menopause is not a disease, rather, menopause is a normal natural process for a woman whereby there will be a slowing and eventually a shutdown of the reproductive system. However, the problem is that many of the signs and symptoms of menopause indicate hormonal imbalance exists and there can have been damage to the body from eating poorly, stress and obesity. With the average age of menopause being about 51 in the USA, many women in the USA and industrialized countries experience one or more of these signs and symptoms of menopause many years earlier.
In the normal menstrual cycle, estrogen is the main hormone produced for the first 10-12 days following the previous menstrual flow. If ovulation occurs, the female body then produces progesterone which continues for the next 12 days or so. If there is no pregnancy, progesterone and estrogen levels both drop at around day 28 and menstruation begins. However, if there is no ovulation, progesterone will not be produced that month. This event is called an annovulatory cycle and is a typical occurrence today for women in their 30’s and 40’s. The result is that the woman then has an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of the vital hormone progesterone.
Many women in their 30’s and 40’s are actually having fewer ovulations, creating hormone imbalance and the signs and symptoms of menopause. And when ovulation ceases at menopause, progesterone levels fall to nearly zero. At the same time, estrogen is still being produced at perhaps 50% of the premenopause levels, again leading to hormone imbalance and the resulting signs and symptoms of menopause. If the woman has had a hysterectomy, surgical menopause means the woman no longer ovulates and produces progesterone.
Besides the signs and symptoms of menopause caused by missed ovulations or hysterectomy, excess estrogen is obtained every day from other sources. Examples are birth control pills, household chemicals and pesticides, foods that have been sprayed and construction materials.
How can a woman tell if the signs and symptoms of menopause are hormone imbalance related? One way is to take an online test for hormone health and related symptoms. The health test is used daily in a leading women’s health clinic, it takes just a few minutes online and it’s free.
Learn as much as you can about natural progesterone and estrogen supplementation and physician-recommended natural treatments for dealing with hormone imbalance and the symptoms of menopause.

Jean Morgan asked:
Natural progesterone can assist you by balancing your hormones and therefore reducing highly uncomfortable and life altering hormonal induced symptoms and complications.
Progesterone can also help you with issues that you may not even know you had! For example, did you know that natural progesterone can improve the quality of your hair? Or your skin?
This is entirely possible and in fact, very likely through the use of a progesterone cream like NatPro.
Progesterone supplementation will balance your body, leaving you feeling healthier and stronger than ever.
Progesterone creams like NatPro contain a hormone which is the same as the one found in the human body. When a woman goes though menopause, her hormone levels drop. This brings about the symptoms of menopause like moodiness, skin irritation and generally not feeling yourself.
It is important that you stick to the recommended dosage of progesterone to ensure that you receive the greatest benefits. There is no benefit in using higher than the maximum recommended dosage; in fact the benefits may even be reduced if you do this. It can even cause your body to become estrogen dominant again, which is the opposite of what you want to achieve when balancing your hormones.
Natural progesterone cream should only be used to balance your hormones after a doctor has confirmed that you are deficient. This can be achieved through saliva testing.
Progesterone cream replaces hormones through the skin (transdermally) and this ensures that it enters straight into your blood stream.
What else can progesterone cream do? It will assist in balancing your hormones which in effect can help with the following hormone related symptoms:
Irritability
Migraines and headaches
Low libido
Fatigue
Mood swings
Bloating
Fluid retention
Hot flushes
Sore joints
Vaginal dryness and itching
Bladder problems
Anxiety
Depression
Backache
Sore breasts
All of the above are symptoms of menopause, PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) or both. These problems generally occur due to estrogen dominance in the body. The goal of natural progesterone is to introduce more progesterone back into the system to create the balance that is needed to restore “regular” body patterns, as it is before menopause begins.
It is not only menopausal women who need progesterone. Other situations may require it as well.
Women are on estrogen replacement therapy may have a drop in progesterone which can be “topped up” with natural progesterone cream.
Women on birth control pills which have too much estrogen in them can also be at risk of estrogen dominance and lack of progesterone.
Women who have undergone a hysterectomy are also candidates for natural progesterone treatment as well as post menopausal women, particularly those who suffer from insulin resistance or who are overweight.
It is even thought that people who are over exposed to a substance found in the air called xenoestrogens may be estrogen dominant.
Most women use progesterone for around three months before feeling normal again and this is a good point of reference to go by once you start using a progesterone cream like NatPro.
