to Better Manage Perimenopause
& Menopause Symptoms
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 11 2003: 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.
