Menopause

The menopause is another important phase in a woman’s life, when she makes the important transition from a reproductive to a non-reproductive state. While this is a completely normal transition, it is often accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms. Treatment at The Women’s Clinic can help to ease any of the discomforts of this stage, and help women to appreciate the benefits of a new phase of their lives.

With the recent controversies surrounding the use of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), Chinese medicine is an important alternative that pre-menopausal and menopausal women can use to manage the symptoms of this transitory stage in their lives.

Some conditions that can be addressed include:

	Aching joints		Insomnia
	Back ache		Irritability
	Bowel problems		Mental restlessness
	Chilliness		Night sweats
	Depression		Oedema
	Dry hair		Palpitations
	Dry skin		Poor memory
	Emotional stress		Prolapse
	Feeling hot		Tinnitus
	Hot flushes		Tiredness
			Urinary difficulties

Acupuncture, patent herbs, and lifestyle changes can all be used to  support women who are making the decision to stop taking HRT, and who are concerned about the return of menopausal symptoms.
