Managing Menopause Symptoms
Key Information
- Diet and Exercise: A balanced diet rich in calcium and regular weight-bearing exercise (like walking or running) can help keep your bones strong.
- Hot Flushes: To manage hot flushes, try wearing layers, keeping your bedroom cool, and reducing triggers like spicy food, caffeine, and alcohol.
- Sleep and Mood: Establishing a regular sleep routine and using relaxing activities like yoga or meditation can help improve sleep and ease anxiety or low mood.
- Vaginal Dryness: Over-the-counter vaginal moisturisers and lubricants can provide effective relief and are available to buy from pharmacies.
