Men, we need to talk about menopause.


My partner is worried about it so asked me to listen to this podcast. Was useful.
Disclaimer; Pardon my ignorance.
Missus degsy had HRT, made her 'worse', eventually sacked it off and muddled through-ish
But it deffo seriously messes with your head...and anecdotally, some are never even close to 'normal' ever again
To my simple engineers mind if you don't 'measure it' before hand how can you say take 'this mixture' in 'these ratios'
Without a pre-measured base line to work from.

Also; can you link days between periods (21-30?) to onset age of Menopause (46-53?)
asking for a friend as I only have a sample of one to work from

I've only listened to the one podcast so not really in a position of authority to comment. They did say that hormone measures can fluctuate massively for the same woman for different reasons so difficult to get a baseline.

My other half always struggled with the pill because of what it did to her hormones, bringing on mood swings etc so we have similar worries about hrt.
 
Start at the lowest dose, progesterone really is there to prevent excessive thickening of the womb lining, so use lowest dose or bio-identical progesterone (e.g uterogestan). Use lowest dose estrogen and taper up if symptoms you're trying to ameliorate aren't controlled. Some need low dose testosterone, but this can only be prescribed by a certified menopause specialist.
 

I had a very quick menopause as it was bought on rapidly because of chemo for breast cancer. I had a few physical things like hot sweats, joint pain but fortunately no mental problems. I refuse to acknowledge any sort of illness though so will be at death's door before admitting to anything 😆
My missus went through exactly the same when she was on Tamoxifen. Brain fog was the worst thing for her, she has quite a responsible job and was really beating herself up over mistakes she made at work. Must be an awful double whammy, being treated for cancer then going through menopause immediately after.
