How to turn the tables on (pre) menopause?
The female capacity to generate life is both wonderful and challenging. We witness many changes in our bodies, learn to manage emotions, understand how we behave with each menstrual cycle, face (if we so desire) pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum, and finally, experience the end of the fertile cycle, menopause. It is the cycle of life, and of course we cannot avoid it, but we can undoubtedly alleviate symptoms and make this transition period smoother and more harmonious.
What is pre-menopause?
Premenopause, as the name suggests, is the transition between fertile age and menopause, the moment when the body stops ovulating completely. This all happens due to significant hormonal changes, the main one being the inconsistent production of estrogen, which results in irregular cycles, along with changes in the production of progesterone and FSH, both fundamental to the menstrual cycle.
How does a woman know when she has entered pre-menopause/menopause?
The main symptom of perimenopause is the irregularity (in flow and duration) of menstrual cycles. This happens at different times, but mainly from the age of 40 or later, from the age of 45, although it can occur between 35 and 40. The duration of this pre-menopausal period also varies among women – for some it may last only a few months, for others several years.
During this period, a woman is considered fertile, with the possibility of becoming pregnant, although ovulation may be less frequent. Menopause is assumed to have occurred when there has been an absence of menstruation for at least 12 months.
Some common symptoms:
Irregular menstrual cycles (shorter or longer)
Heavier/lighter menstrual flow
Hot flashes - a sudden sensation of heat, which can occur several times a day or month, and even during sleep.
Insomnia or changes in sleep patterns
Decreased vaginal lubrication
Increased need to urinate and greater susceptibility to urinary tract infections.
Decreased libido
Drier/dehydrated and more sensitive skin
Mood swings, increased agitation, depressive symptoms
Bone loss resulting from decreased estrogen.
Elevated cholesterol levels and high blood pressure
Weight gain resulting from a slowdown in metabolism.
