Treatment of menopause for better sleep



Menopause is the time in a woman's life when her period stops and it is a normal change in a woman's body. A woman has reached menopause when she has not had a period for 12 months in a row and there are no other causes, such as pregnancy or illness, for this change. Menopause is sometimes called the change of life. Leading up to menopause, a woman’s body slowly makes less and less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This change often happens between the ages of 45 and 55 years old. Many women wonder if these changes are normal and many are confused about how to treat their symptoms. It is better to learn about menopause and talking with the doctor about the health and its symptoms. If the symptoms are causing discomfort or concern, the doctor can teach about treatment options and help to make wise treatment choices.

Problem with sleep

One of the best ways to get a good night's sleep is to get at least 30 minutes of physical activity on most days of the week. Don’t exercise close to bedtime. Also avoid large meals, smoking and working right before bedtime. Caffeine and alcohol should be avoided after noon. Drinking something warm before bedtime like herbal tea or warm milk might help to feel sleepy. Keep bedroom dark, quiet and cool and use bedroom only for sleeping and sex. Avoid napping during the day and try to go to bed and get up at the same times every day. If hot flashes are the cause of sleep problems, treating the hot flashes will usually improve sleep during menopause.

Menopause and sleep
The traditional treatment for the symptoms related to menopause has been hormone replacement therapy. It consists of estrogen given as a pill, patch or vaginal cream, either alone or combined with progesterone. A long term use of estrogen-progesterone combination therapy caused an increased risk of breast cancer, heart disease, blood clots and stroke. Estrogen alone did not increase breast cancer or heart disease, but the therapy with estrogen alone increases the risk of blood clots and stroke. If the person decides not to go for the treatment then following tips might keep one cooler at night and help sleep better without the use of hormones. They are like, wear loose clothing to bed, Keep bedroom cool and well-ventilated, Avoid certain foods that may cause sweating especially right before bed.
