Menopause

Homeopathic treatment

Before we delve into the homeopathic treatment for menopause, let us look at the allopathic aspect:

  1. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
  2. Sedatives and tranquilizes
  3. Barbiturates

Hormone therapy generally includes estrogen therapy, androgen therapy and combined estrogen therapy.

Prolonged HRT increases the risks of thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism, stroke, breast cancer, endometrial cancer and gall bladder disease. Some patients exhibit the symptoms of severe bleeding, nausea, vomiting as side effects of HRT and may show intolerance to HRT.

Addiction to sedatives and tranquilizers causes depression, anxiety, aggression, restlessness, and hallucinations.

Overdose of barbiturates may be fatal.

Now let us discuss what homeopathy offers.

Each female going through the menopausal phase suffers from different set of problems and puts her own stamp on her menopausal life situation. Patients come to me with issues such as hot flushes, night sweats, irregular periods and so on. Homeopathy provides the right kind of treatment in each case.

Other general problems faced by females are mood swings, depression, anxiety, irritability, panic disorders, and difficulty in concentration and memory lapses. Females develop a forsaken feeling with a sense of insecurity within them. Homeopathy becomes the safest method for hormonal readjustments to overcome the tough phase ultimately causing improvement in emotional sphere too.

Patients are also counselled about sleep disorders, fatigue, osteoporosis, hair loss, incontinence of urine in addition to the appropriate homeopathic remedies; this makes their life happier and easier. Vaginal dryness and loss of libido are adequately addressed too with indicted homeopathic remedies.

Medicines which have been found effective include Phosphorus, Staphysgaria, Argentum metallicum, Natrum muriaticum, Sepia, Calcarea, Pulsatilla, Graphites, Lachesis and many more. [Note: Do not self medicate. Take your medications exactly as prescribed by your doctor, including at the right time and full length of your prescribed treatment.]
