After dinner as the members of the family were sitting at the living room, I asked my 57-year old Mom if she is experiencing hot flashes, now that she is at the menopausal stage. She told us that she seldom experience having hot flashes, but when it happens, she admitted to have a very uncomfortable feeling. With this response, the four girls in the family bombarded her with questions.

Mom narrated that in her fifties, she still had regular monthly period. Her obgyne then, invited her to start the Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) program to prevent hormonal imbalance thus controlling menopausal symptoms such as the dreaded hot flashes, mood swings and vaginal dryness. However, she declined the invitation, since she is not used to taking drugs.

At this juncture, my sister Abigail, who is studying medicine shared her learnings on the topic. She said today, the natural progesterone is the most natural and safest way to assist women with symptoms of hormonal imbalance. This means balancing your hormone without drugs through the use of progesterone cream, a natural progesterone cream, specifically the bioidentical progesterone cream which is not taken by mouth, but through the skin. This is the trans dermal treatment, where the cream is applied to skin, goes to the blood stream and starts hitting the receptor sites immediately. Abigail gave emphasis on the importance of progesterone for women like Mom. At the end of our discussion, Mom with the smile on her lips is already convinced on the method of feeling good again after 50 without drugs.
