The most popular menopause products would have to be hormone replacement pills, creams, patches and rings which are designed to deliver estrogen to the body. However, aside from these there is a wide range of menopause products out there designed to help relieve the symptoms of menopause such as sleeplessness, night sweats and hot flashes, vaginal dryness, among others.
Aside from hormone replacement therapy, there are natural products that have been claimed to reduce the intensity of hot flashes. These include herbs such as dong quai, red clover, and motherwort. Another popular alternative to hormone pills is a progesterone cream made from wild yam extracts.
Women who are experiencing hot flashes will also find small, portable electrical fans that can help dissipate the heat when they start having hot flashes.
Menopause Products for Sleeplessness
Unique bed linens designed to provide coolness and relieve the body from the discomforts of night sweats to special menopause clothing designed to keep you cool and reduce the intensity of hot flashes. These products are usually made of wicking fabrics, fabrics that keep the body cool by drawing sweat to the outside of the garment where it can evaporate quickly.
Menopause Products for Vaginal Dryness
Products for vaginal dryness include vaginal creams and rings that contain and release estrogen when inserted into the body. Natural, water-based lubricants are also available to prevent discomfort that arises from sexual intercourse.
Menopause Products for Osteoporosis
Calcium supplementation is the main form of prevention against osteoporosis which tends to occur in older women. Women are also encouraged to exercise, as this can encourage the deposition of calcium in the bones.
