Menopause? Hot flushes? Is there anything that will lessen?

Question

these? I don't want to go on HRT as I want to finish my periods not prolong them. But the flushes are getting more frequent lately [I've been having them for a year now]. Also, I've started to notice facial hair [not a lot], very fine hair but hair! Is this normal too?

Answer 1

Poor you i know what your going through! my periods stopped over a year ago i didn't take HRT neither i was worried about the risks, i still have hot flushes at night and go through a pint of squash due to the thirst, yes the facial hair happens but not a lot good pair of tweezers will help, if it gets to bad see your gp and ask his advice, take care it will pass.

Answer 2

I've heard soya based products work wonders - my mother in law swears by them and she didn't have NRT.
