If you suffer from menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats but don't want to take a daily pill, Alloy's estradiol patch could be the answer!

Estradiol Patch | Estradiol Products for Menopause | Alloy

The hot, prickly feeling in your chest and neck? That's a hot flash. Estrogen helps tell our brain how to regulate our internal thermometer. As our levels fluctuate during menopause, our "thermoneutral zone" narrows, prompting our body’s thermostat to overreact to the slightest change in temperature.

You can meditate, carry a fan, and change your diet. But for most women, the most effective treatment calls for supplementing your body’s natural estrogen.

What can you do?

Hot Flashes

You betcha. Hot flashes are one of the most common symptom of menopause. They can last from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, happen from 3 to 35 times a day, and continue for as long as 12 years.

Is this normal?

You’re lying in bed in totally soaked through pajamas. Hello, night sweats. Estrogen helps tell our brain how to regulate our internal thermometer. As our levels fluctuate during perimenopause and menopause, our “thermoneutral zone” narrows, prompting our body’s thermostat to overreact to the slightest change in temperature.

You can meditate, buy breathable sheets, and change your diet. But for most women, the most effective treatment calls for recalibrating your hormones.

Night Sweats

Hot flashes and night sweats are two of the most common symptoms of menopause. They can last from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, occurring as often as 8 times a night, and continue for as long as 12 years.

OF WOMEN IN MENOPAUSE EXPERIENCE NIGHT SWEATS

There’s sleepy, there’s tired, and then there’s fatigue — as in, you wish you were energetic enough to consider yourself exhausted. For many of us, menopause fatigue goes beyond the worn out feeling that came with college all-nighters, sleepless nights as new parents, or stressful careers.

Practice good ‘sleep hygiene.’ Keep a consistent routine, remove phones from your bedroom, keep the room cool and dark, and buy breathable cotton sheets. It’s also important to treat those night sweats with hormones.

Fatigue

The majority of women in menopause or perimenopause complain of fatigue. Insomnia, night sweats, the need to pee in the middle of the night, and hormonal changes are all to blame.

WOMEN IN MENOPAUSE EXPERIENCE DIFFICULTY SLEEPING

As estrogen declines during menopause, the skin that lines the vaginal walls can start to thin, and your body’s natural lubrication starts to decrease. This means that even light friction can feel like sandpaper, and the thin, fragile, less elastic walls can bruise and tear during intercourse.

Locally applied estrogen (cream, tablet, or ring) can reinstate your body’s ability to create natural lubrication and strengthen your vaginal walls, returning it to its strong, supple, elastic self.

Vaginal Issues

More than half of menopausal women report experiencing painful sex or vaginal dryness during menopause. If left untreated, vaginal dryness can worsen with time. But effective treatment exists!

Worrying too much? Can’t relax? Feeling overly stressed? Having difficulties concentrating? High levels of these anxiety symptoms can lead to physical symptoms such as sweating, palpitations, and increased blood pressure.

If your anxiety is interfering with your ability to function in your daily life for more days than not within a 6-month period, speak to a doctor about your symptoms and possible treatment options. And most importantly, don’t suffer in silence.

Stay tuned for more offerings to help with mood, coming soon from Alloy.

Anxiety

You are not alone. The changing hormones of menopause can sometimes trigger anxiety symptoms.

PERCENT OF WOMEN EXPERIENCE SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY DURING PERIMENOPAUSE

Really? At our age?? Sigh. And just like during puberty, hormones are to blame this time too. While teenage acne made its appearance on your forehead and nose, menopausal acne tends to appear lower on your face, around your chin and jaw. Lovely.

For mild cases, over the counter treatments can work. For more severe acne, solutions such as prescription retinoids can be more effective. And of course, managing your hormones can also affect your skin.

Facial Acne

Yes, about 25% of women ages 40-49 experience adult acne. The good news is it’s more of an issue during perimenopause than menopause.

You’re not losing your mind. Brain fog is real. Studies have found that memory function and estrogen levels are closely related — as in when a woman’s estrogen (specifically estradiol) drops, so does her cognitive function.

Brain fog improves once our hormones settle down. But until then, a healthy diet, sleep and exercise are key to keeping your brain synapses firing. So is managing your hormones.

Brain Fog

Totally. Wait, what were we talking about? Seriously, though– brain fog is reported by many, many menopausal women. (And maybe the rest of them just forgot?!)

OF WOMEN IN MENOPAUSE FEEL FORGETFUL

As we age, we lose muscle mass and deposit more fat, and fat is less metabolically active than muscle. So, even with the same calories and same exercise routine, you still gain weight. When you add disrupted sleep, increased stress and hot flashes, it’s no wonder we’re packing a few extra pounds.

Abstract illustration showing weight gain. AW006 

Abstract illustration showing weight gain. AW003

Think “healthy” weight, not “ideal” weight. Eat more lean protein, fewer carbs. Drink lots of water, and maybe skip that second glass of wine. Try to move every day (yoga, bike rides, walks with friends). Experts agree that a healthy microbiome can help with digestion and bloat.

Weight Gain

Totally normal! Don’t torture yourself, but keep an eye on it. Extra pounds around the middle put us at risk for heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and arthritis.

OF MENOPAUSAL WOMEN REPORT GAINING MORE THAN 10 POUNDS

As we age, women lose bone density twice as fast as men, and it happens due to drops in estrogen levels. In the worst cases, this can lead to osteoporosis, which is defined as a progressive loss of bone, typically first in the spine, and later in the hip, wrists and even the jaw. It’s a serious medical condition that can lead to disfigurement, disability and sometimes to death.

Bone fragility is preventable. Regular exercise and a diet rich in calcium and Vitamin D is a great start. Estrogen is also FDA-approved for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.

Bone fragility

Everyone loses bone mass as we age, but not all of us develop osteoporosis. The most rapid phase of bone loss happens in the first 5 to 6 years after your final menstrual period.

Not in the mood? When estrogen and testosterone levels decrease, it can become more difficult to get aroused. Vaginal dryness, vaginal atrophy and painful sex are factors here too. Add in insomnia, hot flashes, fatigue, and weight gain, and you have a really romantic evening ahead of you. Ha!

Low Libido

Women are 2-3 times more likely to be affected by declining sex drive as they age, so know you are not alone. Some women also report a decline in sensation and decreased ability to climax.

OF WOMEN REPORTED SOME DECLINE IN SEXUAL DESIRE DURING MENOPAUSE

During menopause, estrogen and progesterone levels drop more quickly than testosterone levels. What happens with this unbalanced testosterone? You can start to lose hair where you want it and grow it where you don’t. That can mean thinning hair, pesky chin hairs and mustaches.
