When your body reaches menopause and no longer produces the hormone estrogen, the night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings and vaginal dryness that occur can have a real impact on your quality of life. But is hormone replacement therapy (HRT) the solution? And if so, what are my options?
The third trimester is the home stretch of your pregnancy. It ends when your baby is born, but there’s still a lot to do in these next 12 weeks or so, and that includes more prenatal appointments.
If you’re like most women, you and your partner will discuss becoming a parent before you try to get pregnant, but there’s one more person who should be in the conversation early -- your doctor.
Heavy menstrual bleeding is no fun for any woman and it’s especially difficult for a teenager. The hormone systems are still maturing for them and this can cause irregular periods and heavier bleeding that interferes with normal activities, but it’s important to know what’s typical and when there may be a bigger problem.
Pregnancy is divided into three-month periods called trimesters. In the first, your body goes through a lot adjusting to the new person growing inside of you. In the last trimester, you’re in the home stretch when the effects of pregnancy reach their peak and your body is quickly preparing for delivery.
