Menopause shouldn’t be a frightening time. It’s the natural progression to the end of your reproductive years, but you will need special care for some unique aspects of it.
Prenatal care is essential to the health of mother and baby. Your prenatal visits will be different depending on where you are in the nine months of your pregnancy.
As a woman’s body transitions to menopause, levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone will decline. This can lead to irregular menstrual periods, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, and mood swings, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be used to reduce these symptoms.
We all know that the female body is different from the male in one important way – women have reproductive organs like the ovaries and uterus and experience menstruation, childbirth and menopause.
If your period includes heavy bleeding every month, you're not alone. It's estimated that about 10 million women in America suffer from abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) and NovaSure from Northline Women’s Health Center is a procedure that can help.
