Menopause Symptoms

This 'change' takes place when your body stops producing eggs, which comes as a result of a fall in the hormones, estrogen, and progesterone. It is during this time that you stop menstruating permanently, meaning you become unable to conceive. For many women this time is overwhelming as you go through physical and emotional change. However, the physical and emotional changes that you go through can be a mixture of several things such as hot flashes, dry skin, bladder complications, a loss of vaginal elasticity, insomnia, panic attacks, and a decrease in sexual desire. Some women could end up suffering all of these complications, whereas others may simply just experience a few of them.

The length that menopause will last for is generally no longer than five or six years. During this time some women may experience irregular or heavy periods with shorter gaps in between them, whereas for others their periods may just stop altogether with no warning. It is also during this time where you could potentially suffer any of the above problems. If this is the case there are a few things that you can try as a means of dealing with the problem.

If you are one of the many women who suffer from menopause symptoms such as the effects of hot flashes, this can be frustrating and in many cases will make you feel like you can't get on with your daily life out of fear the problem will occur while you are out in public. One way in which you can attempt to deal with this is to wear layers of clothing, this way you can easily peel off layers if you do get too hot and then you can simply replace them when the hot flash passes. To help avoid these flashes from happening in the first place, my advice to you is keep hot drinks, spicy food and alcohol to a minimum.

There are a number of things that you can do and change to help you through menopause. Another example of this is sticking to a healthy eating plan and ensuring you put time aside for an exercise routine. What this will do is not only keep you physically fit but it will also keep your stress levels down, which will cut your risk of suffering from insomnia, just make sure that as part of your healthy eating plan you include drinking plenty of water. This in itself is a fantastic cleanser and purifier, which is ideal to aid with menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, headaches, and dry skin.
