Uma m\u00e3e atl\u00e9tica de tr\u00eas filhos de Marion, Kara sabia que o seu corpo estava a mudar e queria o m\u00e9dico certo para a orientar nessa transi\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eu queria passar sem problemas pelo meu menopausa<\/a> envelhecer o mais graciosamente poss\u00edvel\", diz ela. \"E eu queria um especialista nessa \u00e1rea\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Os sintomas da menopausa de Kara demoraram cerca de um ano a desenvolver-se, come\u00e7ando com uma sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de formigueiro por todo o corpo. Em breve, o formigueiro foi precedido por uma sensa\u00e7\u00e3o de calor que acabou por se transformar em afrontamentos. \u00c0 medida que o rubor s\u00fabito e a transpira\u00e7\u00e3o se agravavam, os afrontamentos podiam ser desencadeados por um pequeno copo de vinho ou por um movimento durante o sono.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Os meus filhos riam-se de mim\", conta. \"Tinha de sair \u00e0 rua a meio do inverno para me refrescar.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quando os afrontamentos come\u00e7aram a interromper o seu sono, Kara procurou ajuda junto de Dr. Jaimie Reed<\/a>, o seu m\u00e9dico de cuidados prim\u00e1rios. Ela experimentou os suplementos de cohosh preto e outros rem\u00e9dios naturais que o Dr. Reed sugeriu, mas ap\u00f3s cerca de seis meses decidiu que precisava de um tratamento mais eficaz. Foi ent\u00e3o que a sua pesquisa a levou a Dra. B\u00e1rbara Soares<\/a>, ginecologista e obstetra na Southcoast Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A partir do momento em que a conheci, soube que tinha tomado a decis\u00e3o certa\", disse Kara. \"Ela faz-lhe perguntas e ouve as suas respostas. Depois, d\u00e1-lhe op\u00e7\u00f5es sem pressionar uma ou outra.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Dr. Soares apresentou v\u00e1rios tratamentos poss\u00edveis, incluindo abordagens hol\u00edsticas, mas Kara j\u00e1 estava inclinada para a terapia de substitui\u00e7\u00e3o hormonal (TRH), um medicamento que substitui o estrog\u00e9nio e outras hormonas femininas que o corpo deixa de produzir na menopausa. A sua pr\u00f3pria m\u00e3e tinha tomado TRH quando os afrontamentos a faziam suar desconfortavelmente durante as reuni\u00f5es como diretora de escrit\u00f3rio na Southeastern Massachusetts University, agora UMass Dartmouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ela descobriu que a TRH era um milagre\", diz Kara. \"E disse-me que, quando chegasse a minha altura, devia pensar em tom\u00e1-la e n\u00e3o esperar e sofrer.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O historial de sa\u00fade de Kara fez dela uma candidata \u00e0 TRH, disse o Dr. Soares, e uma semana depois de iniciar o tratamento, os afrontamentos desapareceram. Ap\u00f3s tr\u00eas meses de TRH, Kara pode desfrutar plenamente de uma vida ativa que inclui treinos regulares no gin\u00e1sio com o seu marido, Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nutricionista de forma\u00e7\u00e3o, Kara \u00e9 treinadora da equipa de h\u00f3quei em campo da Bishop Stang High School, que inclui as suas duas filhas mais novas. A pr\u00f3pria Kara jogou h\u00f3quei em campo, bem como basquetebol, quando andava na Stang e continuou a jogar h\u00f3quei em campo na universidade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kara recomenda que qualquer mulher que sofra de sintomas da menopausa, que tamb\u00e9m podem incluir altera\u00e7\u00f5es de humor, secura vaginal e aumento de peso, procure os cuidados de um m\u00e9dico especialista experiente. Ela est\u00e1 grata por poder contar com o Dr. Soares, que lidera o novo Programa de Menopausa e Bem-Estar da Southcoast Health<\/a>. Este novo programa colaborativo para a menopausa, o primeiro na regi\u00e3o, oferece especialistas em ginecologia e menopausa, cuidados cardiovasculares, perda de peso, osteoporose, endocrinologia, psiquiatria e terapia sexual, que fornecem cuidados abrangentes e individualizados para mulheres na meia-idade e na transi\u00e7\u00e3o da sa\u00fade para a menopausa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ela d\u00e1-lhe a melhor informa\u00e7\u00e3o poss\u00edvel e permite-lhe tomar a melhor decis\u00e3o por si pr\u00f3pria\", afirma Kara. \"Eu diria a qualquer mulher que n\u00e3o precisa de passar por esta idade. Existem op\u00e7\u00f5es e, se a TRH for uma op\u00e7\u00e3o vi\u00e1vel para si, considere-a. Para mim, foi um fator de mudan\u00e7a\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
