When Should I See My Doctor About My Menopause Symptoms?

 

Being a woman is never easy. Considering, the ever-changing bodily hormones that fluctuate in a woman’s body-Menopause. In the United States alone, the number of females as of July 2017 is 165.3 million which should be affected by the female natural condition, at least once in their lifetime.

Also, as mostly neglected by men, it is to know and understand the condition what the women are experiencing and undergoing through, especially during that menopausal period in all aspects of their bodily condition. Significantly, by knowing these bodily changes and how they would affect you would help to embrace reality, rather than suffer from the condition, menopause.



What is Menopause?
Menopause, or its medical term as the climacteric, is a natural and normal part of aging in most women’s lives when the menstruation process stops permanently, and they are no longer able to reproduce children.

When does Menopause Happen?

Generally, menopause can happen in the age of 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in the United States. Medical experts often describe menopause occurs when a woman has not had any vaginal bleeding for 365 days. It is defined as the decrease of hormonal levels in production by the ovaries.

In some cases, menopause occurs early and happens before the age of 40 which is called premature menopause. While between the age of 40 and 45 is called early menopause, and about 5 percent of women experience it. Several factors can cause menopause to come earlier than expected such as chromosome defects like Turner syndrome, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, smoking, genetics, and epilepsy, as well as surgery.


Changes to your periods

The first sign of the menopause is usually a change in the normal pattern of your periods.

You may start having either unusually light or heavy periods.

The frequency of your periods may also be affected. You may have them every 2 or 3 weeks, or you may not have them for months at a time. Eventually, you'll stop having periods altogether.

Common Menopausal Symptoms

About 8 in every 10 women will have additional symptoms for some time before and after their periods stop.

These can have a significant impact on daily life for some women.

Common Symptoms Include:

  • hot flushes – short, sudden feelings of heat, usually in the face, neck and chest, which can make your skin red and sweaty
  • night sweats – hot flushes that occur at night
  • difficulty sleeping – this may make you feel tired and irritable during the day
  • a reduced sex drive (libido)
  • problems with memory and concentration
  • vaginal dryness and pain, itching or discomfort during sex
  • headaches
  • mood changes, such as low mood or anxiety
  • palpitations – heartbeats that suddenly become more noticeable
  • joint stiffness, aches and pains
  • reduced muscle mass
  • recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • The menopause can also increase your risk of developing certain other problems, such as weak bones (osteoporosis).

Increased Risk for developing certain medical conditions.
  • Heart and Blood Vessel Disease
  • Urinary Incontinence
  • Osteoporosis
  • Weight Gain
  • Sexual Dysfunction

What are the Treatments for Menopause?

Menopause requires no medical treatment, otherwise, focus treatment on relieving the symptoms. Hot flashes treatment can be done by avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and smoking, or practical sleeping using a fan or in a cool room may help.

Some medications may help such as Gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise, others), Clonidine (Catapres, Kapvay, others), menopausal hormone therapy(MHT)bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), and medications to prevent or treat osteoporosis.



Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

HRT replaces the hormones that are missing. Most symptoms are caused by low oestrogen levels, so this is the most important hormone to replace. If you have a womb you also need a progestogen to protect the lining of the womb.

HRT is extremely effective at relieving menopausal symptoms.

HRT is available as tablets, skin patches, a gel to rub into the skin or implants.

Benefits and Risks of hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

The main benefit of HRT is that it can help relieve most menopausal symptoms, including hot flushes, brain fog, joint pains, mood swings and vaginal dryness.

It can also help prevent thinning of the bones, which can lead to fractures (osteoporosis). Osteoporosis is more common after the menopause.

Some types of HRT can slightly increase the risk of breast cancer and blood clots in some women. You need to discuss whether you have any risk factors with a doctor or nurse.

Evidence says that the risks of HRT are small and usually outweighed by the benefits.

Your doctor can give you more information about the risks and benefits of HRT to help you decide whether or not you want to take it.

Mood Changes

Some women experience mood swings, low mood and anxiety around the time of the menopause.

Self-help measures such as getting plenty of rest, taking regular exercise and doing relaxing activities such as yoga and tai chi may help. Medicine and other treatments are also available, including HRT and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

CBT is a type of talking therapy that can improve low mood and feelings of anxiety. Your GP may be able to refer you for CBT on the NHS, or recommend self-help options such as online CBT courses.

Antidepressants may help if you've been diagnosed with depression.



Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort

If your vagina becomes dry, painful or itchy as a result of the menopause, your doctor can prescribe oestrogen treatment that's put directly into your vagina as a pessary, cream or vaginal ring.

This can safely be used alongside HRT.

You'll usually need to use vaginal oestrogen indefinitely, as your symptoms are likely to return when treatment stops. However, side effects are very rare.

You can also use over-the-counter vaginal moisturisers or lubricants in addition to, or instead of, vaginal oestrogen.



Weak Bones

Women who have been through the menopause are at an increased risk of developing weak bones that may break more easily (osteoporosis) as a result of the lower level of oestrogen in the body.

You can reduce your chances of developing osteoporosis by:

  • taking HRT – HRT can help to prevent your bones getting weaker, although this effect does not tend to last after treatment stops
  • exercising regularly – including weight-bearing and resistance exercises
  • eating a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruit, vegetables and sources of calcium, such as low-fat milk and yoghurt
  • getting some sunlight – sunlight on your skin triggers the production of vitamin D, which can help to keep your bones strong
  • stopping smoking and cutting down on alcohol
  • taking calcium and/or vitamin D supplements if you do not feel you're getting enough of these – discuss this with your doctor


Follow-up Appointments
If you're having treatment for your menopausal symptoms, you'll need to return to your doctor for a follow-up review after 3 months, and once a year after that.

During your reviews, your GP may:
  • make sure your symptoms are under control
  • ask about any side effects and bleeding patterns
  • check your weight and blood pressure
  • review the type of HRT you're taking and make any necessary changes
  • discuss whether you should continue it or if you decide to stop, how this should be done
Many women will need treatment for a few years, until most of their menopausal symptoms have passed.

Some women may wish to take HRT for many years. Their individual benefits and risk should be assessed every year.

Understanding Erectile Dysfunction



For American men with erectile dysfunction, life can be so challenging and the desire to have a good sex life is difficult. Understanding the basics of erectile dysfunction is the first step to tackle the sexual condition. Here we cover some erectile dysfunction fundamentals and treatments to know and discover more about the condition.       

 
What is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, is when a man has an inability problem to achieve or keep an erection allowing sexual activity with penetration.   
 
Nowadays, erectile dysfunction is becoming a common issue among American men:
  • Affects about 30 million men
  • One-quarter to one-third of men in their 20s and 30s
  • More men aged 70 and older report about the condition while 5 percent between the ages of 20 to 40
 
Erectile Dysfunction Symptoms
Male arousal is a complicated process. Overall bodily systems contribute their role from mental, physical, emotional, and psychological aspects. If one is missing, some sign of dysfunction is shown. While there may be occasions when sexual problems are not an erectile dysfunction issue. However, when you experience erectile dysfunction persistently due to symptoms such as:   
  • less sexual desires
  • lacking the ability to maintain an erection
  • lacking the ability to get an erection
 
Erectile Dysfunction Affects Who
The condition is more common to men as they age. Based on Massachusetts Male Aging Study, at the age of 40, approximately 40% of men experience this sexual dysfunction, as compared to age 70 with 70% of men. In addition, the percentage of men experiencing it increases from 5% to 15% as age increases from 40 to 70 years. People who are at risk are: 
  • Men getting older
  • With psychological conditions (stress, anxiety, or depression)
  • With heart disease people or diabetic
  • Using tobacco, drugs, and alcohol
  • Overweight men
  • Patients undergoing radiation treatment for cancer
  • With damaged nerves or arteries contributing to erections
 
Erectile Dysfunction Causes
The first step is to reduce risk factors. Before drug treatment, take a look and see which risk factors can you reduce or take action to manage:
  • Weight loss – 79% of men with Erectile Dysfunction are overweight
  • Stop smoking – Cigarette smoke damages the cells lining of your penile blood vessels
  • Move more – Exercise improves the cells lining your penile arteries
  • Reduction of alcohol – Excess alcohol negatively affects every aspect of the sexual response
  • High blood pressure – The penile arteries are small and especially sensitive to vascular changes
  • High cholesterol – Raised cholesterol levels affect muscular relaxation within the penile vessels
  • Diabetes – Diabetes has complex effects that can result in Erectile Dysfunction however, improved diabetic control can lead to a marked improvement.
  • Importance of mental health – ED, and depression, for example, often co-exist
  • Talk to your partner – Partners often suffer and don’t know where to turn. Talk to your partner.
 
Erectile Dysfunction Effects
Typically, men experiencing ED will have issues like lowering of self-esteem or self-confidence, which can cause stress, low sex life, and contribute to relationship problems, which sometimes for others end in divorce.     
 
Is Erectile Dysfunction Is Curable?
ED is usually treatable with medication or surgery. However, a person may be able to treat the underlying cause and reverse symptoms with no medication. The best treatment may depend on the person. Some find that traditional treatments, such as surgery or medication.

Treating Erectile Dysfunction
There are several different ways that erectile dysfunction can be treated. For some men, making a few healthy lifestyle changes may solve the problem. Your urologist will help determine the most effective course of treatment for your condition.

  • Change of Lifestyle- making new changes to lifestyle can improve the sexual condition. Doing regular exercising, weight loss, and stop smoking can contribute to a more improved blood flow.    
  • Dietary Supplements - with a lot of medicines in the market, these "dietary supplements" are not FDA approved and can put the user at risk of its dangerous effects. Always consult first your doctor before using these supplements.   
  • Injections - some injectable medicines are also available, which are directly injected into the penis. It widens the blood vessels of the penis and helps sustains a stronger erection.    
  • Implants – penile implants can return the lost sexual function. It is an inflatable implant that uses two cylinders placed inside the penis. Then, if an erection is desired, it will be pumped to fill in the cylinders with pressurized fluid.    
  • Medications – Commonly, Viagra is the most popular drug on the market. However, there are also others like Levitra, Cialis, Staxyn, and Stendra.
  • Psychotherapy - through psychotherapy counseling, the condition can be treated also. The therapists usually advise the partners with techniques and methods to lessen the performance anxiety and develop more intimacy.   
  • Surgery – For younger men who have a blockage in an artery leading to the penis, surgery can help restore the flow of blood. While for older men having narrow arteries are not recommendable. 
  • Hormone replacement therapy
 
What is Intracavernous Injection (ICI)?
 Although oral medications are preferred by some men, intracavernosal injection is still the most popular and effective treatment for ED by many. Intracavernous Injection therapy is a form of injectable treatment where a potency-enhancing medication is injected directly into the penis.
 
Advantages of Intracavernous Injection
  • Effective – in most cases, it is more effective compared to Viagra. Some men don’t respond to PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra) because of poor vascular systems or due to injury. For ICI it’s injected directly into the penis with no need to take it orally and undergo into the system.   
  • Fast-Acting- erection can be achieved within 5-15 minutes, as compared to pills for an hour
  • Non-surgical – no surgeries needed.
  • Safe- for thirty-eight years the therapy has been proven and tested as a safe treatment.
  • Long-lasting – the effect lasts for almost an hour.
  • Self-administered - with proper and correct injection procedure, as taught by physician or nurse you can self-inject the treatment
 
Erectile Dysfunction Compounding Pharmacy
Intracavernous injection treatment is considered the most effective non-surgical treatment for erectile dysfunction. Myerlee Pharmacy is equipped with state-of-the-art compounding technology to provide intracavernous injections to their patients suffering from erectile dysfunction.

Air passengers are also required to confirm the information they present is true by signing an attestation. This order applies to all passengers 2 years of age or older, whether or not they are US citizens. Before Traveling Before traveling, consider the following:
  • Is Covid-19 spreading at the destination?
    The more cases there are at the destination, the more likely infection is.
  • Do you live with someone who might be at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19?
    If you get infected while traveling, you can spread the virus to loved ones when you return, even without symptoms.
  • Are you at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19?
    Anyone can get ill from the virus that causes COVID-19, but older adults and people with certain underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
  • Does your destination have requirements or restrictions for travelers?
    Some state, local, and territorial governments have requirements, such as requiring people to wear masks and requiring those who recently traveled to quarantine for up to 14 days.
When Traveling When traveling, take steps to protect yourself and others from COVID-19:
  • Avoid close contact by staying at least 6 feet apart (about 2 arms’ length) from anyone not from your household.
  • Avoid contact with anyone who is sick.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  • Wash hands often or use hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol).

Myths and Facts about COVID-19 Vaccines in Fort Myers, FL

 


COVID-19 Vaccine Facts and Myths | Myerlee Pharmacy

The facts of today may not be the truths of tomorrow as information surrounding this pandemic changes every day. Accurate COVID-19 vaccine information is critical and can help prevent common myths from spreading. When deciding whether or not to get the vaccine, follow the advice given by your healthcare provider, your national and local public health authority.

1. Vaccines

MYTH: Researchers rushed the development of the COVID-19 vaccine, so its effectiveness and safety cannot be trusted. FACT: Studies found that the two initial vaccines are about 95% effective with no serious or life-threatening side effects reported. The COVID-19 vaccine could be developed quickly for several reasons:
  • The COVID-19 vaccines from Johnson & Johnson and Moderna were created with a method that has been in development for years, so the companies could start the vaccine development process early in the pandemic.
  • Vaccine developers didn’t skip any testing steps but conducted some of the steps on an overlapping schedule to gather data faster.
  • Vaccine projects had plenty of resources, as governments invested in research and/or paid for vaccines in advance.
  • Some types of COVID-19 vaccines were created using messenger RNA (mRNA), which allows a faster approach than the traditional way that vaccines are made.
  • Social media helped companies find and engage study volunteers who were willing to help with COVID-19 vaccine research.
  • Because COVID-19 is so contagious and widespread, it did not take long to see if the vaccine worked for the study volunteers who were vaccinated.
  • Companies began making vaccines early in the process — even before FDA authorization — so some supplies were ready when authorization occurred.
MYTH: COVID-19 vaccines are not safe.
FACT: 
The COVID-19 vaccines currently in use have all been through rigorous testing and approval procedures to ensure they are safe and effective. MYTH: If I’ve already had COVID-19, I don’t need a vaccine.
FACT: People who have gotten sick with COVID-19 may still benefit from getting vaccinated. Due to the severe health risks associated with COVID-19 and the fact that re-infection with COVID-19 is possible, people may be advised to get a COVID-19 vaccine even if they have already been sick with COVID-19.

2. Symptoms and Severity

MYTH: Most people who contract COVID-19 get very sick or die. FACT: Most people who get COVID-19 suffer a mild form of the illness and will be able to recover at home, without hospital treatment. Stay home and call your local health authority for advice if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 including difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, or loss of speech or mobility.
MYTH: You can always tell if someone has COVID-19.
FACT: 
The virus that causes COVID-19 can be in the body for up to 14 days before symptoms appear. Some people will have such mild cases of COVID-19 that they might not have any symptoms.

You can still pass COVID-19 without symptoms. It is important that everyone follows the prevention advice such as social distancing, wearing a face mask, and regularly washing hands even if they feel healthy.

3. Risks

MYTH: COVID-19 only affects certain demographics.
FACT:
 Anyone can get COVID-19, regardless of demographics. COVID-19 has affected people from all over the world, including people of all backgrounds, races, ages, and financial statuses.
MYTH: COVID-19 only affects the elderly.
FACT: 
While COVID-19 can be more dangerous in older people, anyone can contract it including young people, some of whom become seriously ill. While we don’t yet fully understand why some people suffer more serious symptoms, we do know that young people with certain underlying health conditions including obesity, diabetes, cancer, or high blood pressure are more likely to develop serious symptoms.
MYTH: The COVID-19 vaccine can affect women’s fertility.
FACT: The COVID-19 vaccine will not affect fertility. The truth is that the COVID-19 vaccine encourages the body to create copies of the spike protein found on the coronavirus’s surface. This “teaches” the body’s immune system to fight the virus that has the specific spike protein on it.

4. Prevention, Treatment, and Cures

MYTH: Drugs used in antiretroviral treatment for HIV are effective against COVID-19. FACT: There is currently no evidence that antiretroviral drugs used in HIV treatments can treat or prevent COVID-19. If you’re living with HIV, continue taking antiretroviral treatment to protect your immune system. Follow the general prevention advice for COVID-19, as there’s no evidence that antiretroviral treatment for HIV provides any immunity to COVID-19.

MYTH: Anti-malaria drugs are effective against COVID-19.
FACT: 
There’s currently no evidence that antimalarial drugs treat or prevent COVID. The main clinical trial searching for effective COVID-19 treatment with the anti-malarial drug, hydroxychloroquine concluded after it found no evidence linking the drug to faster recoveries or ventilation and death prevention.

MYTH: Hot beverages stop COVID-19.
FACT: 
There is no drink, hot or cold, that will protect against or cures coronavirus. Most people who get COVID-19 recover by themselves. Taking paracetamol, drinking increased liquids and resting helps manage symptoms. MYTH: Strong disinfectants protect against COVID-19. FACT: Strong disinfectants should not be used to clean the body. Thoroughly washing hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based sanitizer will stop the virus from being passed on. Using stronger chemicals on the skin can be dangerous. Never drink disinfectant or hand sanitizer as this can cause serious damage.

MYTH: Drinking alcohol cures or prevents COVID-19.
FACT:
 Drinking alcohol doesn’t cure or prevent COVID-19. In fact, drinking alcohol can weaken the immune system. It’s recommended that adults limit alcohol intake to stay healthy. Drinking high-strength ethanol found in some cleaning products will not protect you from COVID-19 and instead could cause disability or death. COVID-19 vaccines are now available at Myerlee Pharmacy Clinic.

COVID-19 vaccines are now available at Myerlee Pharmacy in Fort Myers, Florida. Those under 18 require a guardian's consent. Walk-up vaccinations will also be administered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Available dates and times vary by location.
