Menopause results from declining levels of Estrogen and Progesterone and is diagnosed by the combination of presence of menopausal symptoms and laboratory confirmation of low Estrogen and Progesterone levels. Fortunately, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy with Estrogen and Progesterone  has been shown to be dramatically effective in relieving the symptoms of Menopause and helping women to return to active, enjoyable, and satisfying lives.<\/p>\n<p>The Menopause process is a lengthy and potentially complicated one and is divided into three phases.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\u201dcolor: #0000ff;\u201d><strong>Phase 1:  Perimenopause<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<ul><br \/>\n<li>Usually begins in a woman\u2019s thirties or early forties<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Caused by slow, steady declines in Estrogen and Progesterone<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Usually accompanied by fertility decrease.<\/li><br \/>\n<\/ul><br \/>\nThe later years in this phase (late 30s to mid-40s for most women) are characterized by menstrual irregularity and onset of menopausal symptoms that can include:<br \/>\n<ul><br \/>\n<li>Hot flashes<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Irritability<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Memory difficulties<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Decreased libido (poor sex drive)<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Mood swings<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Weight gain<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Breast tenderness<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Bloating<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Vaginal dryness<\/li><br \/>\n<\/ul><br \/>\n<span style=\u201dcolor: #0000ff;\u201d> <strong>Phase II:  Menopause<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<ul><br \/>\n<li>Defined as a woman having gone 12 months without a period<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Symptoms that began in Perimenopause usually continue and often intensify<\/li><br \/>\n<li>Breast shrinkage, sagging\/loss of tone, and bone loss often develop<\/li><br \/>\n<\/ul><br \/>\n<span style=\u201dcolor: #0000ff;\u201d><strong>Phase III: Postmenopause<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<ul><br \/>\n<li>Usually begins about 5 years after the woman completes the transition from Perimenopause to Menopause.
