Liberation of Women: Looking at Menopause in a New Light | Dr. Mindy Goldman
No more bloating, cramping, and irritability every month.
No more migraines every period. No more birth control pills.
No more worries about diapers, teenage children, and no more worries about getting pregnant, especially during these uncertain times.
No more menstruation.
Yes, menopause is the time when another door opens. It is the time when we can pursue what has been stalled during our time of raising children, where we were always laid in with guilt when work interferes with the time we want to spend with our children. It is a time when we realize our wants and are now ready to pursue them.
It is the time when we can operationalize or actualize what we always planned for ourselves, but we're halted by marriage, pregnancy, and raising a family. It may be even time for probably a second career! Time to be better.
So menopause - despite all its consequences - should not be viewed as a midlife crisis. It is a normal physiologic change in our bodily functions as we women grow older.
So let us now fear menopause - let us embrace it!
Memorable Quotes:
- Menopause is such a destabilizing time in a woman's life. It's nice to know that we have so many options for different particular symptoms depending on severity and importance to women. - Dr. Julieta Gabiola
- The average age of menopause is 51. By the early forties, most women are already starting to be in perimenopause and may be experiencing some of these symptoms. - Dr. Mindy Goldman
- For women that are within 10 years of the onset of menopause, the benefits of hormone therapy outweigh the risks. - Dr. Mindy Goldman
- People do not have to feel like they have to suffer from menopause. I want them to realize that there are alternatives to hormones. There are lifestyle changes, an integrative approach, botanical and herbs - all things that can help out in managing menopausal symptoms. - Dr. Mindy Goldman
