Hormonal treatment

Doctors are inclined to hormone replacement therapy when menopause manifests itself in a pronounced way. It is mainly indicated for urinary incontinence, genital atrophy and progression of osteoporosis.

Natural treatment with phytoestrogens

This is a natural treatment using the beneficial effect of herbs.

Some plants contain a high proportion of phytoestrogens: natural substances similar in properties to estrogen.

The word "phytoestrogen" comes from the Greek word phyto (plant) and the word estrogen (hormone).

These herbs include the black cohosh (also called black bugbane, black snakeroot, or fairy candle), the vitex (also called chaste tree, chasteberry, Abraham's balm, lilac chastetree, or monk's pepper), the common sage, the red clover, and the common flax (also called linseed).

Phytoestrogens are mainly found in plant-based foods such as soy. This includes foods such as soy milk, soy yoghurt, figs, plums, strawberries, tomatoes, nuts, beef, products containing royal jelly and many others.

In addition to the above-mentioned herbs, lemon balm is also suitable and has a beneficial effect on psychological and mental health due to its calming effect.

The common yarrow (also called old man's pepper, devil's nettle, sanguinary, milfoil, soldier's woundwort, and thousand seal) is good for incontinence problems and for lowering blood pressure.

St. John's wort is known for its overall positive effect on eliminating the symptoms of menopausal syndrome.
