Introduction
Menopause can mean different things to different women. Some women feel exhilarated over it. Menopause means no more periods and no more risk of pregnancy. In the second part, it means you can enjoy sex with your partner without worrying about whether or not there is birth control around.
The first part means you do not have to worry about dealing with that once a month monster anymore. You are free(at last).
Your biological and fertility factors might have ended, but your life can still go on. Some women show signs right away, and they know. Others show more subtle signs that make it harder to tell.
Below we will go over some of the signs of menopause and what it could mean for you.
1)Absence of your period
Most women will worry if they are pregnant if they have gone without their period for a few days. In some cases, it is not unusual for some women to have irregular periods. That is something you can discuss with your doctor.
However, if you have gone a year without your period, and you have not had sex(or you have had sex but used a condom), then chances are good that you have entered the menopause stage.
2)Hot Flashes
Now, hot flashes can be ambiguous down here in Florida. Sometimes you cannot tell the difference between a hot flash and warm weather. However, if you live in other parts of the country, and you start having hot flashes, chances are good that you are going through menopause. A hot flash is when you go from feeling cold to hot in a matter of seconds or minutes.
3)Sweating
This is a big one. Have you started sweating a lot at night/ Do you wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat? You are probably going through menopause unless you have another physical ailment.
4)Mood Swings
This is a common one for women and some men. You might have had that during your periods, but menopause is going to escalate things. You are going to feel good one second, and then want to bite someone’s head off the next. It is common. You might want to talk to your doctor if your mood swings become more severe.
5)Itching and Dryness
That is another common issue for women who have menopause. Your vaginal area is supposed to be wet(especially for sexual excitement and activity). However, if you notice that your genital area is dry and kind of itchy, then chances are you are going through menopause.
6)Sleeping
You are not going to be sleeping well during this period of your life. You are going to go through many nights where you cannot sleep. That will also lend itself to more mood swings and irritability. This is one of the more subtle signs. Lack of sleep could be a sign of something else. That is why you need to look at the other signs to make sure.
7)Train Of Thought
You are going to start to forget things. It is a natural part of the process. You may even get distracted more easily than you used to. It goes with the territory.
Some Things You Can Do To Help Your Menopause
1) The first thing you want to do is to eat healthily and exercise. You are going to want to binge on junk. It comes with the territory. Try to eat as healthy as you can and get some exercise.
Health experts and fitness trainers have said that those who have always eaten healthily and exercised their whole life have a much easier tie. They also are not going to gain as much weight with water retention as will someone who does not exercise.
2) You should also speak with your doctor on how to get menopause supplements online or have them prescribed to you. It might be easier to get them online.
Menopause supplements will help make things easier. Talk to your doctor about which ones he or she prefers you to take. Supplements will also help to bring back some of the bone loss you face during menopause.
3) Try to sleep at least seven hours a night, if you can. It will help to reduce irritability and mood swings.
4) There are hormones your doctor can prescribe to help reduce the hot flashes. Do not be afraid to take them. The hormones can help ease your period of transition.
5) You need to keep the fires burning in your love life. You owe it to your partner and yourself. Remember that this is an exciting new phase where you do not have to worry about your period, getting pregnant, or birth control issues. You can have sex and enjoy the experience more without worrying about the consequences.
Speak with your doctor if you are having these issues.
