Article: The use of low-dose hormone replacement therapy, now referred to as menopausal hormone therapy, involves products that contain small amounts of estrogen and progesterone, or their derivatives. Use progesterone to treat symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Some women begin to notice changes that are consistent with menopause, even before they have stopped having their menstrual cycle. This time is referred to as perimenopause. In some women, progesterone products can be used to help manage symptoms of perimenopause. Research supports the use of progesterone supplementation during this time, as natural levels of female hormones are starting to change. Progesterone products come in several different forms, including oral tablets, vaginal gels and inserts, injections, and topical creams. A prescription strength topical cream is often prescribed to help with symptoms of perimenopause. To use the cream, a small amount is rubbed into the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or other areas where the skin is soft, either once or twice daily. The symptoms associated with perimenopause and menopause can be disruptive to your normal routine, and severe enough to treat. Talk to your doctor to determine if combination products that contain both estrogen and progesterone may help to provide the increased progesterone levels your body may need, while maintaining a balance in both hormones. Women with a uterus require both estrogen and progesterone to treat menopause symptoms with hormones. Women without a uterus do not require progesterone to treat menopause symptoms and should use estrogen only. Using a combination product if you do not have a uterus may increase your risk of breast cancer, heart attack, or stroke. Over time, men also experience changes in naturally occurring hormone levels. In men, progesterone plays a key role in the production of testosterone. As men age, progesterone and testosterone levels drop, and the balance in hormone shifts to make estrogen the dominant hormone. Some of the symptoms men experience when progesterone levels drop can include low libido, hair loss, weight gain, fatigue, and depression. Talk to your doctor if you are male and are noticing these changes. Your doctor will run tests to determine the levels of many different hormones to determine the best course of treatment. If your doctor prescribes medications that contain progesterone or a combination of estrogen and progesterone, get emergency medical help if you have any signs of an allergic reaction. Signs of an allergic reaction include hives, difficulty breathing, and swelling in your face, mouth, or throat. Emergency medical care is also warranted if you experience pain in the calves or chest, sudden headache, numbness or weakness, especially if you notice this to be on only one side of your body, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or coughing up blood. Emergency care is also needed for problems with your vision or speaking, feeling dizzy, faint, or problems with balance, changes in vision or speech, chest pain, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, pain or swelling in the legs, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, low grade fever, or changes in your urine.

Article: A fishing rod can be a complex piece of equipment so it is wise to learn the terminology before assembling your own. If your rod breaks into 2 parts or more, the joint where the sections fit together is called the ferrule. The male ferrule inserts into a female ferrule. The handle is also called a grip and is where you hold the rod. The butt it the thick part of your rod closest to the handle. The tip is the most flexible part of the rod and is located at the very top of the rod. Guides are the rings that go all along the rod that guide your fishing line.
