    Medroxyprogesterone Acetate, a progesterone, can be effective when 500 mg is administered IM on days 1, 14 and 28 (Loibl, et al., 2011). Due to the unknown safety of progestins in breast cancer survivors, non-hormonal options should be considered for this patient due to her medical history (Schuiling & Likis, 2013). Hormonal treatment for the breast cancer survivor should only be considered if benefits are believed to outweigh the risk and non-hormonal treatments have been unsuccessful. In this situation, treatment should be closely monitored and implemented in collaboration with her oncologist (Loibl, et al., 2011). The patient should return within six to eight weeks for follow-up to evauluate relief of symptoms. Side effects that the patient may experience with hormone therapy include headache, bloating, mood changes, nausea, fluid retention, and breast tenderness (Schuiling & Likis,…

    Perimenopause is the time when a woman's body begins to move into the menopause (no menstrual period for 12 straight months). It is a natural process. Perimenopause can begin 2–8 years before the menopause and usually lasts for 1 year after the menopause. During this time, the ovaries may or may not produce an egg. The ovaries vary in their production of estrogen and progesterone hormones each month. This can cause irregular menstrual periods, difficulty getting pregnant, vaginal bleeding between periods, and uncomfortable symptoms.…

    Adams and Cannell (10) found that women surveyed in a compounding pharmacy stated that “compared with standard hormones, natural hormones are safer, cause fewer side effects, and are equally or more effective for symptom management.” Yet, the scientific evidence to support women’s beliefs about the efficacy of BHRT is weak (11,12). No large randomized trials (RCT) of BHRT have yet been released. Researchers are currently recruiting patients for a study to determine if it will be feasible to conduct a RCT comparing CHRT and BHRT…

    majority of perimenopausal women will experience bothersome symptoms due to declining or fluctuating estrogens level in their menopausal transition [1]. Because of a development of medical science, women now live more than one-third of their lifetimes beyond menopausal transition [2]. There are several symptoms associated with menopausal transition but the VMS almost affect 75% of women [3-5]. However, the presentation and severity of VMS varies between each women as in some women with significant physical distress and functional impairment thus requiring medical intervention [2]. Hot flashes present as episodic sensation of heat, intense sweating flushing over face, neck and upper chest followed by palpitation and anxiety [4]. Each episodes of VMS lasted for 3-10 minutes and reoccurred with varying frequency per day [6]. The pathophysiology of VMS still unknown but it was thought that the withdrawal of estrogen rather than the lower level of estrogen is responsible for central thermoregulatory dysfunction and VMS to occur [7]. This mechanism is regulated by many neurotransmitters but norepinephrine is the primary neurotransmitter that lower the thermoregulatory set point and trigger the heat loss mechanism [3].…

    There are stereotypes that many woman endure because of menstruation. Stereotypes of menstruating and premenstrual women include: “ tearful, tense, weak, physically ill, mentally unstable, easily enraged, out of control and potentially violent” ( Marvan, Vasquez-Toboada, and Chrisler 280). These stereotypes are carried down to the very symptoms of menstruation. Menstrual-cycle related symptoms are heavily related to society's expectations on how woman should act and feel during their period. I conducted a poll in which I asked participants to respond to the following: “woman on their periods are often.... (1) Emotional, (2) Grumpy, (3) Tired, (4) and Indifferent.” Participants were allowed to select up to two…

    Men and women’s bodies react differently to some of the same external forces, such as a disease and sickness. “With heart disease, many cancers, immunological disorders, and HIV, women present symptoms unlike men’s and respond to different medications and dosages” (Berg 140). Because medical practitioners fail to recognize these differences, many women are improperly diagnosed or receive insufficient treatment. For example, cardiovascular disease has a high mortality rate among both men and women, but the warning signs of a heart attack differ between the two sexes. Men suffer from “chest and arm pain,” whereas women complain about feeling “overwhelmingly tired and dizzy, with occasional shortness of breath” (Berg 139). Educating healthcare providers on the different needs of men and women could potentially save a life. “For too long, women have been treated as ‘little men,’ without an appreciation of the differences in prevalence and symptoms among various conditions and what those differences mean for diagnosis and treatment” (Berg 141). Luckily, since the formation of the Society for Women’s Health Research in 1990, more attention has been paid to biological differences of men and women, allowing for better diagnoses and…

    For women, menstruation is an inevitable part of life. It is something that is experienced on a monthly basis, and is a sign that reproductive system is functioning normally. Despite being a sigh of health, menstruation has been given very negative connotations. Menstruation is surrounded by shame that causes a reluctance to discuss the issue, leading to an innumerable amount of consequences. In this research paper, five main points will be discussed to prove and demonstrate the shame that women face because of their menstrual cycles. First, women are treated very differently while menstruating, both in a historical and modern context. Second, women, particularly in third world countries, miss out on an education because their periods restrict…
