Myths and Misconceptions about Menopause.
Menopause marks the start of a new phase in your life. Many women treat menopause as
something unwanted or uncalled for but menopause is a normal biological process and you
cannot run away from it.
There are numerous myths and misconceptions about menopause.
Myth: Menopause causes weight gain
Your metabolic rate normally decreases with age. There could be a little gain in weight during
menopause but it not be due to menopause alone.
Eating the right type of foods and exercising for thirty to forty-five minutes every day can help
you maintain your weight.
Myth: Menopause marks the end of sexual life
Menopause causes vaginal dryness and lowered libido. However, reduction of hormone levels
does not mark the end of your sexual life. You can maintain normal sexual relations with your
partner.
Myth: Menopause denotes you have become old
Menopause is a normal process and every woman has to experience it. Some women experience
severe symptoms while some encounter few or no symptoms.
Menopause usually starts in your forties and fifties when you have completed almost half your
lifespan. Although you are aging by then, you can learn to age gracefully.
It is the second innings of your life. Learn to relax and enjoy it.
Myth: Menopause causes memory problems.
Menopause may not be the sole or even the main cause for your memory problems. Various
nervous diseases or stress about life issues such as retirement, familial problems etc., cause
problems in retaining facts.
Menopause causes hormonal changes. Some of these changes may contribute in part to
problems in concentration.
Myth: Menopause is a disease
Menopause is not an illness or ailment. It happens to every woman. Develop and maintain a
positive attitude towards a different chapter in your life.
Learn to accept life as it comes and you will be able to sail through your menopause smoothly.
Myth: Menopause is natural, so it does not have major consequences
Menopause is a natural process. But, it could be a factor in the occurrence of various ailments like
osteoporosis, colon cancer, vaginal and urethral atrophy, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s
disease, and impaired vision.
Low estrogen levels may make you more vulnerable to these diseases.
However, there is no need to panic. Proper management of symptoms and prompt medical care
can help you overcome almost all possible ailments.
Myth: Hormone replacement therapy is bad
Hormone replacement therapy may have serious side-effects with some individuals. But, it is not
always a bad option.
Hormone replacement therapy is a conservative option.
Doctors advise such therapy treatment to women in dire need of it. It can bring huge relief from
most menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness.
Myth: Menopause causes depression
Depression is risk factor among women with a family history of depression and a common ailment
among women in their late forties and fifties.
Menopause can aggravate depression symptoms in women with a prior history of depression but
this does not mean that menopause causes depression.
Depression can be an after-effect of various other ailments like heart disease.
Myth: Menopause could mean the end of an active life.
This is an unfortunate myth.
Menopause is a part of your life.
You can continue with your active life schedule. Regular exercise, good and nutritious food,
adequate rest and remaining connected with different issues can help you continue with your
active life without much disturbance.
Regular visits to your doctor and regular checkups can help you lead a healthy life for many years
after menopause.
When to Seek Medical Advice
Menopause normally starts between the ages of 45 and 55. It could start with irregular periods.
Visiting your doctor and seeking medical advice can tell you if you are pregnant or in the
perimenopause stage.
Women in their perimenopause and menopause stages should undergo a thorough annual
medical check-up that includes mammogram, pelvic examination and breast examination.
The perimenopause stage could bring different changes in your body. Seeking medical advice
helps you to understand those body changes and what, if any, treatments may be necessary to
reduce the possibility or effects of major symptoms.
Menopause and perimenopause are transitional stages and your body needs sufficient time to
adjust to these changes.
Your doctor can give you advice about what to expect and how to deal with these changes.
Menopause signifies low estrogen levels in your body. You may be at a greater risk for different
ailments like heart disease and cancer.
Professional advices from your doctor can help you make suitable dietary and lifestyle changes as
a preventive measure.
Menopause could cause irregular periods due to low estrogen levels. Yet, you can still become
pregnant. Doctors sometimes advise birth control pills with low estrogen levels to prevent
pregnancy and get some relief from hot flashes, a common symptom of menopause.
Seeking medical advice at all stages of perimenopause and menopause is essential to maintain
good health.

Are you sick and tired of all the jokes about menopause? Unless you've suffered the menopause
symptoms you just don't "get it."
Do you ever wonder why menopause can be so hard to handle? You try everything out there and
nothing seems to really work."
Part of the problem is that many of the so-called self-help books are written by women who
haven't reached that stage in their lives. Or, heaven forbid, are written by men! Doctors,
perhaps, but men nevertheless.
Until there is a man who can suffer from hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause it's
probably a good idea to take what they say with a grain of salt!
It's time to stop trying to force a round peg into a square hole. Contrary to popular belief, not all
women suffer equally from the side effects of menopause. What a concept! Women aren't all
alike. Imagine that!
Having as much information available on the subject can help you gain confidence, support and
understanding about how to cope with your menopausal symptoms.
Much of the information we have been taught is outdated and downright mythical. Hard as it is to
believe, there are people who think that menopause marks the end of a sex life, causes memory
problems and that it is actually a disease!
Finally, there is a self-help tutorial written by a woman for women in the hope that this
information will give women a better understanding of menopause.
There are other outdated, archaic beliefs as well. These, as well as other much needed
information can be found in Your Menopause Handbook - A Self Help Guide for Healthy Living.
Not only does it include a entire chapter debunking many of the myths surrounding menopause
take a look at what else is covered:
- What are the different types of menopause - yes, there is more than one
- Should you seek medical help and if so, when

- Your urinary tract and menopause
- Treatment options including Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
- About Bioidentical Hormones (BHRT)
- How to reduce and in some cases, eliminate symptoms
- Ten ways to relieve hot flashes
- Acupuncture and herbal remedies
Listen, we could go on and on about everything that is jam-packed inside this 100 page special
guide. But, you need to experience it for yourself.
If you are one of those "boomers" who are in or fast approaching that age where you have to
deal with the daily stresses that surround us, this is one area that you CAN control!

of your alarm clock.

of another daily grind.
You fly through the kitchen with a hasty good morning, grab your cup of
coffee and bark at your 3 year old who is reaching for your arms with
oatmeal covered fingers. She cries, your wife snaps and out the door you
run to join the safari just as the sun is rising.
