Perimenopause Help

Question by Kathy: Perimenopause? Natural Help?
I am a month away from being 39 years old. In the last four to five months my breasts are sore for three weeks out of the month. In the last three months my periods are lasting 8 days. In the last month, I have had crazy forgetfulness, worse than usual, some extreme mood swings, etc. Yesterday I had an ovarian cyst erupt (I am guessing) and it caused me to spot, which has never happened after an ovarian cyst rupturing before. I have only had a few of those in my lifetime. Am I beginning perimenopause and what are some natural herbs or vitamins to help me through this? My largest concerns are the mood swings. I get very angry very easily and I want to sleep alot. Thank you in advance for your advice.

Answer by Joseph
I am a firm believer that if you feel fatigue and bad moods you should, first of all, go for a general check-up including all blood tests. After you get your results and everything is found to be fine, I would start treating the perimenupausal symptoms.
The first thing women are advised is to try anti depressant medication your can read about these here:
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/antidepressants/HQ01069
http://familydoctor.org/012.xml
http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mentalhealthinformation/mentalhealthproblems/depression/antidepressants.aspx
There are herbal anti-depressant pills like St.Johns Wort or Back flower Rescue Remedy etc.

There is a lot of info on the web try looking for it.

If, after awhile the anti-depressants have not done their job you might consider talking to your doctor about taking other stuff so your life will balance somehow.

Answer by Peter S
Estrogen is a steroid hormone –

The mechanism of action of steroid hormones is to modulate gene expression in target cells. By selectively affecting transcription from a battery of genes, the concentration of those respective proteins are altered, which clearly can change the phenotype of the cell. (See link 1.)

The estrogenic hormones are uniquely responsible for the growth and development of female sexual characteristics and reproduction in both humans and animals. The term “estrogen” includes a group of chemically similar hormones: estrone, estradiol (the most abundant) and estriol. Overall, estrogen is produced in the ovaries, adrenal glands and fat tissues. More specifically, the estradiol and estrone forms are produced in the ovaries, while estriol is produced by the placenta during pregnancy.

In women, estrogen circulates in the bloodstream and binds to estrogen receptors on cells in targeted tissues, affecting not only the breast and uterus, but also the brain, bone, liver, heart and other tissues.
