Are There Any Non-hormonal Treatments For Menopausal Symptoms?

hello, I m a women in menopause, i am having a rough time with hot flashes and night sweats, i tried to get thru this without hormone therapy, but the night sweats are so severe when they come on that i cannot get sleep, so i reluctantly started hormone therapy, I m a little worried however, because my doc says she doesn t do hormone therapy anymore, so i feel that I m in a catch 22 situation, I m concerned about other issues now, related with hormone therapy! i feel like i don t have a choice, whats a woman to do???

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Menopause causes hormonal imbalance and this further inturn gives extreme stress and anxiety to the woman.
This stress and anxiety are the cause for almost all menopausal symptoms.
So apart from hormonal therapy, treatment of stress and anxiety are also important.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Start anxiolytic drugs too.
Counselling sessions and drugs William definitely help you more to tackle menopausal symptoms without taking hormonal therapy.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
