Common Menopause Signs and Symptoms
Hot Flashes:
75 percent of women going through menopause experience hot
flashes. Hot flashes occur because of hormonal fluctuations
and imbalances
Fatigue/weariness:
Fatigue occurs frequently with women who experience night
sweats (nighttime hot flashes) that interrupt sleeping patterns.
Taking a supplement such as Energy & Stress liquid vitamin
may help.
Problem
sleeping or Insomnia: Usually
this is from the night sweats. When night sweats occur they
can keep you up all night, making it almost impossible to
get much sleep. Progesterone cream
can help with the hot flashes and insomnia.
Mood swings:
Anybody ever tell you this joke? I'm Out of Estrogen, and
I have my gun". If Yes, then you may be suffering from
mood swings. Do you cry for no reason? Or just wish that you
could get some peace and that everyone would leave you alone?
Do not worry, you are not mean, you are just experiencing
fluctuating hormone levels. These unstable hormone
levels may cause you to cry, be irritable and even angry.
Which would explain the popular saying I'm Out of Estrogen,
and I have my gun"
Irritability:
Irritability is common, chances are during the day you are
experiencing terrible hot flashes,
at night you get night sweats and during the day you are
fatigued. Irritability is very natural.
Anxiety:
When your hormone levels are out
of balance another common symptom is anxiety.
Depression:
So often women are put on Paxil, Prozac or Zoloft to battle
their depression, which could easily and naturally be resolved
by treating yourself with natural progesterone cream (without
the side effects of anti-depressants.) Women are special and
have an enormous amount of responsibility that at times, even
for Super woman or Super Mom can cause her to get tired and
depressed. But isn't it wonderful that by getting your
hormone levels rebalanced the "depression" and
fatigue that you have been experiencing can go away, leaving
you the vibrant and happy woman that you are-without anti-depressants!
Vaginal
dryness:
During menopause the vaginal lining becomes
thinner and less flexible, which can cause
vaginal dryness as well as painful
intercourse. Sexual intercourse regularly and kegel exercises
can help to keep the keep the vagina moistened and toned.
Painful
Intercourse: The thinning of vaginal
lining can also cause painful intercourse. You can use our
Vaginal Moisturizing cream or essential
plus to help get the moisture back!
Incontinence:
During menopause the organs surrounding the vagina
can begin to thin and shrink. This thinning of the bladder
and urethra can cause incontinence.
Urinary
Tract Changes: Because of the thinning
of the vagina and surrounding organs the pH balance in menopausal
women becomes more alkaline. Thus promoting an environment
more conducive to bacterial growth. Some women experience
the urge to urinate more frequent, using
calcium or ProCycle Gold
may help to rebuild the tissues.
Decreased
libido:
With all of he menopausal symptoms that you
are experiencing such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight
gain, irritability and mood swings, it only seems natural
that a woman would experience a decrease interest in sex.
The good news is that by restoring your hormones to a proper
balance can relief the other menopause symptoms, leaving you
time to focus on your sex life. A topical clitoris stimulator,
such as Fempower may also increase
your libido!
Water
retention/bloating: As soon as you
get your hormones rebalanced
then the water retention and bloating will diminish.
Sore, Tender Breasts:
Women have been experiencing breast tenderness even during
PMS, this sometimes
carries over to menopause. Sore breast can feel better once
your hormones are balanced.
Memory
Loss:
Progesterone
plays an important role in memory and the functioning of nerve
cells in the brain. By levels of estrogen and progesterone
fluctuating, women can experience memory difficulties.
Difficulty
Concentrating,"Foggy" Thinking:
This is related to memory issues and can be remedied by using
a natural hormone replacement therapy.
Osteoporosis:
A decrease in bone density is a natural part of aging but
occurs most rapidly during and after menopause. A decrease
in bone density places women at a higher risk for fractures.
Post-menopausal women can reduce the effects of osteoporosis,
which can produce serious and life-threatening effects, by
supplementing their diet with extra
calcium and Vitamin D in addition to regular weight-bearing
exercise.
Tinnitus
(ringing or buzzing in the ears):
Some Menopausal women report ringing in the
ears, also called "tinnitus."
Thinning
Hair, Increased Facial Hair: Increased
hair and thinning hair are symptoms of increased testosterone
levels. Increased testosterone levels occur when there is
unopposed estrogen in the system that then convert to testosterone.
Please read the article about progesterone
and facial hair.
Brittle
Fingernails:
Also related to fluctuating hormone
levels.
Dry Skin,
Age Spots:
To diminish the affects of this menopause symptom, women should
limit their sun exposure and cigarette smoking and use ample
doses of moisturizers daily. Sun damage is directly related
to age spots. Sun damage and smoking are directly related
to the formation of wrinkles.
Headaches/
migraines: Progesterone
can help balance out the fluctuations that will help relieve
migraines. NSAID, such as aspirin or ibuprofen can be helpful
as well.
