Support Center Women who are approaching menopause or living with "the change" are invited to attend a special seminar, "What's After Childbirth?" to be held at the Family Support Center on July 28, 11:30 a.m.-- l p.m. Dr. Teresa Durbin, obstetriciangynecologist with Rocky Mountain OBGYN, will explore all the physical and emotional changes women can expect as they proceed through the years. Contrary to what women have been led to believe, life doesn't stop when they reach menopause it simply changes. If anything, a very natural process takes place, offering a new beginning. Women need to recognize the many myths associated with menopause for what they are myths. It's often been said a woman's hormones go "haywire" with menopause. Medical research indicates the percentage of women who experience dramatic hormone changes is small. Others feel that menopause means depression and not so. that life's all downhill from there Menopause doesn't send a basically stable and happy woman (strong family relationships and high into a tailspin. In fact, the real crisis may be coming to terms with aging. It's also been said that at menopause, a woman's sex life is shot; however, most women feel no difference and some actually find it better than before. post-childbeari- self-estee- Many claim that estrogen is the only answer. Estrogen therapy is credited with easing some conditions during menopause, such as reducing the risk of heart disease, and is lately thought to help protect women from the onset of Alzheimer's Disease. Estrogen isn't the only answer, there are other possible options. It's an individual decision. Menopause may cause women to face two additional health issues: D Heart disease: Until recently, few people paid attention to the fact that women, like men, are susceptible to coronary heart disease. As a rule, women contract the disease much later than men, about 10-1- 5 years after their body stops producing estrogen. (Estrogen seems to have a protective effect against heart disease.) Women can reduce this risk. Regular exercise and low-fa-t diets have dramatically reduced the risk of heart disease. Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a debilitating bone disease and one of the most dangerous potential results of menopause. But again, there are meas- ures women can take to prevent the continual teens, "You're Already on the Right Track So Let's Celebrate You," to be held at the FSC Tuesday, 10-1- 1 sum.

Menopause is not doom and gloom. One woman put it best when she said, "It's a time to celebrate you become more of everything. You feel happier, healthier and probably emotionally stronger than ever before." If women go through menopause anticipating the worst, they'll be miserable. Their attitudes and expectations significantly impact the process. It's best to approach this natural change in a woman's life with patience and understanding. Many experts feel that a positive mental attitude is instrumental in warding off the adverse effects of menopause. Women need to get smart on proper diets and start exercising. Not only does exercise help you improve the quality of your life, it releases stress and will moderate the side effects of menopause. It can decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, strengthen pelvic structures and improve moods. If estrogen or other drugs are necessary, women should work with their physicians and weigh menopausal symptoms against individual risks of developing osteoporosis, breast cancer, uterine cancer and cardiac diseases. to Preregistration is required.
