Dealing with menopause solutions:-

1. Don't smoke.

2. Eat a healthy diet that is low in fat and cholesterol and moderate in total fat. Your diet should aim to be high in fiber and include fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain foods. It should also be well balanced in vitamins and minerals, including calcium.

3. Take part in weight-bearing exercise, such as walking, jogging, running, or dancing, at least 3 days each week.

4. Take medicine to lower your blood pressure if your doctor prescribes it for you.

5. For vaginal discomfort, use a water-based vaginal lubricant (not petroleum jelly) or an estrogen cream.

6. If you frequently feel an urgent need to urinate, ask your doctor about techniques such as pelvic muscle exercises, biofeedback, and bladder training that can help you improve muscle control.

7. Be sure to get regular pelvic and breast exams, Pap tests, and mammograms. Contact your doctor right away if you notice a lump in your breast.

8. If you are having hot flashes, keep a diary to track when they happen. You may be able to use this information to help find out what triggers them.
