Dr. Christian Pope<\/a>Jefe de Obstetricia y Ginecolog\u00eda de Southcoast Health, que hab\u00eda atendido a Donna durante el nacimiento de sus dos hijos a principios de la d\u00e9cada de 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\nM\u00e1s tarde, a medida que se acercaba la menopausia, ella y el Dr. Pope siguieron observando y comentando el lento inicio de algunos s\u00edntomas t\u00edpicos de la perimenopausia que empez\u00f3 a experimentar y probaron algunas modificaciones del estilo de vida para tratarlos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tras probar a modificar su estilo de vida, los s\u00edntomas de la menopausia segu\u00edan empeorando y Donna decidi\u00f3 que necesitaba m\u00e1s ayuda. Juntos revisaron varias opciones de tratamiento, y el Dr. Pope determin\u00f3 que Donna era candidata a una terapia hormonal sustitutiva en forma de parche transd\u00e9rmico (cut\u00e1neo) de estr\u00f3genos que se aplicar\u00eda una vez a la semana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En cuanto se puso el parche, Donna vio c\u00f3mo desaparec\u00edan sus s\u00edntomas. Pudo volver a dormir y perdi\u00f3 el peso que le sobraba. Recuper\u00f3 la energ\u00eda y el buen humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Fue incre\u00edble\", dijo. \"Recuper\u00e9 mi vida\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La menopausia se produce en las mujeres cuando se acercan y alcanzan el final de su edad f\u00e9rtil, normalmente entre los 40 y los 50 a\u00f1os, con una edad media de 51 a\u00f1os. Los cambios hormonales que la acompa\u00f1an, especialmente la reducci\u00f3n de estr\u00f3genos, pueden provocar sofocos, cambios de humor, aumento de peso y otros s\u00edntomas desagradables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La terapia hormonal sustitutiva est\u00e1 a disposici\u00f3n de las mujeres en funci\u00f3n de su estado de salud,<\/s> antecedentes familiares y otros factores decisivos. Tambi\u00e9n hay otros enfoques para la menopausia, y Donna aconseja a cualquiera que sufra como ella que acuda a su m\u00e9dico sin demora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Cada mujer es diferente\", afirma. \"Pero yo le dir\u00eda a cualquiera que si la menopausia le est\u00e1 causando problemas, acuda a su m\u00e9dico. No se limiten a sufrir e intentar sobrellevarla\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donna se jubilar\u00e1 de la ense\u00f1anza cuando acaben las clases este a\u00f1o. Aunque le encantaba trabajar con los alumnos, ahora est\u00e1 deseando trabajar a tiempo parcial fuera de las aulas, quiz\u00e1 en una tienda de regalos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elija lo que elija, sabe que los s\u00edntomas de la menopausia no le impedir\u00e1n hacer lo que quiera en este pr\u00f3ximo cap\u00edtulo de su vida. Y sabe que puede confiar en el Dr. Pope para ayudarla a mantenerse sana y saludable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
