Free Survival Kit to Better Manage Perimenopause & Menopause Symptoms



PITTSBURGH: Menopause Rx a comprehensive educational website, is offering U.S. women, and their husbands whom would like to understand the changes affecting their wife, a free Perimenopause and Menopause Survival Kit that provides access to critical information and products to better manage their menopause transitions. The Survival Kit is filled with educational literature, plus prescription and non-prescription options for consumers experiencing the effects of menopause. Women can order a free Survival Kit by going to Menopause Rx and clicking on the free Survival Kit sign-up.

MenopauseRx.com, developed in 1998 by John Sunyecz, MD, a Board Certified, practicing Ob/Gyn with a background in pharmacy, provides clinically strong information on a broad range of topics in an easy-to-use format. Since its inception, over one million women have visited the site to help them successfully manage the menopause transition.

Dr. Sunyecz discusses, "The average age of menopause in the U.S. is 51; however, most women over 40 start experiencing some changes in their menstrual cycle that may signal the perimenopause. Although menopause is a natural stage of life, it can be very mysterious and riddled with uncomfortable symptoms. MenopauseRx.com and the Survival Kit help women learn about a multitude of options including natural alternatives to help relieve their symptoms. These symptoms can include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, breast pain, headaches, irregular periods, sleep disturbances, vaginal and urinary tract changes, reflux, and sexual problems."

Women may use the "Select a Symptom" section of the website to quickly obtain detailed information on each of the symptoms commonly experienced while going through menopause.

The site's "Health Center" includes a self-assessment quiz to help women better understand where they may fall in the menopause transition. The Health Center also permits women to explore treatment options for menopause symptoms and evaluate health concerns such as osteoporosis and heart disease. In addition, Dr. Sunyecz frequently updates the site's "In the Library" section with the latest research, news, products and literature related to menopause and he also offers his clinical expertise on a host of questions in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section.

Following the abrupt halt of the Women's Heath Initiative study of postmenopausal women in 2002, many women with menopause symptoms discontinued their hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and started seeking alternative means to manage their symptoms.(1) MenopauseRx.com provides these women with timely and valuable information on alternatives to HRT.
