Symptoms and Treatment of Menopause
Menopause usually strikes women in their mid-to-late forties or their early fifties. During menopause menstruation stops, as it signifies the end of the reproductive stage of their life. This happens because the ovaries lower their production of estrogen, which is an important female hormone. Menopause can happen naturally or as a result of having a hysterectomy.
Menopause is considered a normal event for all women but often causes many disagreeable and troubling changes in their lives. Some women do not experience a great deal of difficulty. Adapting to their changing reproductive system can take a toll on women and the whole menopausal process can last over many months or even years.
Causes of Menopause
The main causes of menopause are normal cessation of menstruation (due to estrogen production being reduced), lowered levels of estrogen or no estrogen in the bloodstream (due to reasons other than normal change-of-life menopause), abnormal hormonal balance, and hysterectomy.
Symptoms of Menopause
Some of the many symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, insomnia, night sweats, tension, bad temper, mental & emotional problems, cessation of menstruation, irritability, headaches, nausea, fatigue, numbness, weight gain, backache, osteoporosis, instability, confusion, low self esteem, and loss of interest in sex.
Medical Treatments for Menopause
Medical treatments may include hormone treatment (including pills, patches, or shots), anti-depressants (for depression caused by menopause) and prescription or non-prescription pain relievers (for frequent headaches/migraines caused by menopause).
