Menopause and Excessive Menstrual Bleeding

[Guest guest]

.......Two years ago it changed. Now the first 36 hours it's a total FLOOD, she

says it's pretty nasty with clots and all, and the other three are just

spotting if anything... She's wondering if this is the onset of menopause

or something else. No other symptoms of menopause......

 

Yes, this is a perfectly normal symptom of menopause, although it doesn't

necessarily manifest this way in all women. If the bleeding is upsetting to her,

bathing with geranium and/or cypress EO is helpful. There are also herbal

supplements that can be taken to reduce this type of bleeding. I'm not an

herbalist, so offhand I can't remember the specific supplements, but they are

outlined in detail in the Wisdom of Menopause by Christiane Northrup, MD.... a

very comprehensive book which should be required reading for all women. Your

friend should still maintain regular annual GYN exams and Pap smears to rule out

any other problems.
