Occasionally, upon beginning use of natural hormone supplement, a post menopausal woman could experience some breakthrough bleeding, or a "period". This is a perfectly normal response and is nothing to cause alarm. The progesterone is simply causing the body to rid itself of excess stored estrogen which can sometimes stimulate a uterine shedding -- thus breakthrough bleeding. If this continues for longer then several months, you should consult a physician.

Occasionally, some women will experience some break-through bleeding when they begin to use natural progesterone. This is rare itself, but it does happen. The progesterone can cause the body to rid itself of excess estrogen that is stored in the endometrium, which leads to uterine shedding. This is temporary and should stop after 3 months. Any bleeding that persists should be reported to your doctor.

But I don't want to use the medication for a year and then have to stop and have all my hair fall out.

The best way to describe a hysterectomy is "instant menopause." What is not really understood by most doctors is that the body continues to produce about 40% of the estrogen it had been producing before menopause or hysterectomy, even through the ovaries have been removed. However, progesterone levels decrease more severely. The symptoms usually attributed to low estrogen are really due to a lack of progesterone.

Ans. Women may experience problems after menopause due to reduction in the level of sex hormones. The main problems are: Other prolonged health problems like osteoporsis / weakness of bones and fracture and heart problems (hypertension, heart attacks and stroke).

Ans. HRT (Hormone replacement therapy) can be given for the relief of menopausal symptoms by replacing the hormone (estrogen), which decreases at onset of menopause and leads to various symptoms.

There are many opinions about this. In some disciplines, women don't practice at all. Others say your practice should be limited to cooling postures such as gentle forward bends and hip openers. Keep in mind many older texts were written only by males. Inversions can stop the flow for some women. I've found it all depends on your body and its response. Going up in a headstand for five minutes is not a good idea. Thirty seconds might be fine for you.

Yes. There are certain times when women of childbearing age can have PMS but are not getting their periods. These include when you are nursing, having erratic periods, while you are going through peri-menopause, or have had a hysterectomy.

Generally, women do the same thing in the Naturist world as they do in the clothed world. Many use a tampon. If they prefer, they wear shorts or bikini bottoms. The removal of a skimpy bathing suit does little to increase your exposure to the sun, but people exposed to the sun should be careful when they enjoy the outdoors. Some evidence is suggesting that moderate sun exposure is good for you.

Perimenopause is the phase before menopause when ovarian hormone production begins to decline and fluctuate. Typically, perimenopause is the period about three or four years before menopause, though some women can begin the perimenopause phase of their life many years before menopause. Menopause symptoms like hot flashes and irregular menstrual cycles can begin for women in their late 30s or early 40s during the perimenopause phase of a woman's life.

Again, this is a natural occurrence and it is one of the realities of the body with which women have to deal. If a woman is comfortable with one, a tampon is the simplest method of dealing with that time of month. If an external conveyance is preferred then she would wear shorts or bikini bottoms. For the most part, a woman should use what she feels is less obtrusive for her personally. Others aren't going to notice or object.
