Perimenopause Help

Question by queen0fspades: What herbs are good for helping to “stem the tide” on heavy menstrual flow days?
I’m in perimenopause, so my periods are very VERY heavy. Is there anything I can take to help keep from flooding out?

(No hormones– can’t take ‘em.)

I’m not in menopause, but raspberry tea helps me smooth things out sometimes. My mother reports that the Chinese use rosebud tea to help regulate periods and make the flow easier to manage, but be prepared, because it doesn’t taste all that wonderful.

Question by TB: Is it safe to take estrogen progesteron and herbs for hot flashes together?
I am on estrogen alone and it is not working for me. Doctor cannot help, doesn’t feel I know what I am talking about. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago(ovaries out) and have been miserable ever since. A friend suggested adding progesterone and herbs. I do not flash, just live in a oven. Is it safe to take all 3 together?

Progesterone can be taken with certain herbs in limited dosages, but if you are also taking any prescriptions for it (or a prescription level Progesterone), I would recommend that you ask a pharmacist if there are any interactions listed between the drugs and supplements you’re taking. Doctors and pharmacists both have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not…. anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn’t always accurate, as we all know) Good luck!

I am over 40. I have some other symptoms that are bothering me.

I get erections for no reason (like while driving).
I can’t concentrate.
I forget things constantly, and repeatedly.
I get lost while driving.
I feel depressed, often at specific times of the day (at about 1:00pm, and 9:00am).
I can’t sleep.
I feel confused.

Is this “Male Menopause”? What do I need to take?

I am taking medications for high blood pressure.

None of this appears to be affecting my libito. I think I have a lot of testosterone. I have to shave twice a day. I have done so since I was 15.
6′ 2″ 220 libs. Nope, that is not overweight.
Patrick… Please tell me more about the shots.
