Menopause:
Treatment
The intensity of a woman's menopause symptoms will play a key role in determining whether she uses hormone therapy or whether she is able to navigate menopause without the use of hormones. Experts have established that around a third of all women experience almost no menopause symptoms, a third experience mild to moderate symptoms, and the remaining third experience more severe symptoms.
While herbal non-hormonal treatment has proved to be a low-risk and effective option for mild and moderate symptoms, hormone therapy is now considered only for very severe symptoms and with the condition that it is used "at the lowest possible dose for the shortest possible time". Regardless of how severe their symptoms are, many women now also try to support their treatment by focusing on what they can do themselves.
Many women want a non-hormonal yet effective treatment for their menopause symptoms. The scientifically tested medicine Remifemin® offers exactly that: a completely non-hormonal treatment for typical menopause symptoms based on the proven iCR special extract from black cohosh1.
We now know that hormone therapy can have health risks. Nowadays, hormone therapy is only recommended for very severe symptoms and should be used at the lowest possible dose for the shortest possible time. Deciding whether hormone therapy is suitable therefore requires careful consideration on a case-by-case basis.
The five-point plan to tackle menopause symptoms. The right treatment can significantly improve many of the challenges associated with menopause. However, every woman can also support her own well-being with just a little effort — through exercise, good nutrition, relaxation techniques and much more.
