Managing Menopause

Posted on: August 16th, 2012 by JurosMedicalBlogger No Comments

Menopause is not exactly an event in our lives that we look forward to. We hear about it from our mothers or aunts or in videos in health classes we have to take when we’re younger. However, just like other not so pleasant things like taxes or sitting in traffic, menopause is inevitable.

If you're heading down this road in life, contact us about Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Of course, we know that when we get to be in our mid-40s that menopause is just around the corner, and by 50 menopause will most likely be in full effect. Some of the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and night sweats, are easier to deal with than say, mood swings and behavior changes.

These changes in our body are caused by the decrease of the hormones estrogen and progesterone as we age. While menopause is a natural force in our bodies, we do have options as to how we experience it. One of these options is Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy, or BHRT, available at Juro’s Pharmacy.

Instead of using synthetic estrogen therapy, BHRT uses bio-identical hormones to better sooth the symptoms of our menopause. This therapy can ease discomfort from hot flashes, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, vaginal dryness and other menopause symptoms as well.

In addition, Juro’s can customize our therapy. Since every woman experiences menopause differently, many of the one-size fits all treatments are not as effective as we need them to be. The Compounding Center at Juro’s can give us each a customized therapy plan for our specific hormone levels. Not only is the dosage ideal for our hormone level, but the delivery form can be customized for what we like best, whether it’s a topical cream, capsule, lozenge and more.

Menopause can be a physically and emotionally tough time to get through for some of us, but we can make it easier on ourselves with Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy from Juro’s Pharmacy to help manage our symptoms effectively.

Beat the Heat of Hot Flashes

Posted on: April 26th, 2012 by JurosMedicalBlogger No Comments

Hot flashes – the most common symptom of menopause and our enemy for the next three to five years!

Cooling your hot flashes with lifestyle changes.

Cooling your hot flashes with lifestyle changes.

Hot flashes are when a woman experiences intense heat that generally starts in the face or chest and spreads to the rest of the body. This is accompanied by sweating and rapid heart beat and usually occurs before the onset of menopause. Hot flashes can last between a few minutes and thirty minutes with some women experiencing them multiple times a day for up to five years.

To beat hot flashes, you need to start with determining what your triggers are. Some of the most common triggers are increase in room temperature, spicy foods, meats or smoking. Once you determine what your triggers are, you can start to alter your lifestyle to avoid hot flashes or at least decrease their intensity.

For many women, the main lifestyle change is exercise. Regular exercise is known to lessen the intensity of hot flashes. One of the most popular exercise programs for hot flashes is water aerobics because it keeps you cool while working your muscles. Another common exercise is yoga because of its calming effect.

You’ve also got to get your diet right. It is a known fact that vegetarians have minimal hot flashes because meat is often a hot flash trigger. Many also experience hot flashes after eating spicy foods. To decrease or eliminate hot flashes, try eating mild foods and watching which meats trigger you.

One of the most effective ways to manage menopause symptoms such as hot flashes is to contact your local pharmacist and get started in hormone replacement therapy. At Juro’s Health and Wellness, our compounding pharmacist works with each patient individually to find the right mix of hormones to ease those symptoms.

Juro’s Pharmacy offers FREE Hormone consultations with Yellowstone Naturopathic Doctors. To schedule an appointment, please call 406-869-0143.
