Folk remedies for tides

Menopause is characterized by a decrease in the production of female sex hormones by the ovaries. Estrogen deficiency leads to the development of various unpleasant conditions: hot flashes, dryness in the vagina, tearfulness and mood swings. Treatment can consist of both substitution therapy and the use of auxiliary agents that facilitate the course of menopause.

Hot flashes: symptom characteristics

Hot flashes are the most common symptom of autonomic disorders in menopause. Their occurrence is associated with a violation of thermoregulation as a result of estrogen deficiency. Hot flashes are characterized by a feeling of intense heat in the upper body. The fever is accompanied by increased sweating, less often - reddening of the skin, and then replaced by chills. The cyclical appearance of hot flashes is characteristic, the frequency of occurrence can be different, from 2 to 30 times a day.

How to remove unpleasant symptoms of menopause

The most effective method of treating menopause is hormone replacement therapy - the systemic use of estrogen and gestagen preparations, which allows you to eliminate the deficiency of sex hormones. For the same purpose, you can take phytoestrogens - plant estrogens that are found in some foods and herbal plants.

Phytoestrogens for menopause: recipes, reviews

Taking plant estrogens helps to replenish the estrogen deficiency in the body during menopause. This helps to reduce its early manifestations, including hot flashes. To date, several classes of phytoestrogens have been identified, the main of which are isoflavonoids: isoflavones, genistein, daidzein, coumestans. Isoflavonoids are able to bind to estrogen receptors, due to which the therapeutic effect is carried out. Plant sources of estrogen are flax seeds, clover, sage, hops, licorice, and alfalfa. On their basis, decoctions and infusions for internal use can be prepared.

Red clover
