Who Is Affected by Menopause?
Menopause affects women across all cultures, races, religions and creeds.
Menopause normally affects women in their forties and fifties, with 95% experiencing it within the
age range of 44 to 56.
Genetic factors have great sway over when she enters her perimenopause. Smokers, and women
living in high altitudes, may have a comparatively early menopause.
Women do not all experience the same symptoms of menopause. It depends on their lifestyles,
diets and other social and cultural factors.
Mayan women often suffer no symptoms, while Thai women are believed to suffer some of the
most excessive headaches due to menopause.
Greek women experience high rate of hot flashes, while Japanese women experience some of the
lowest rates of hot flashes.
North American women report most symptoms, while Scottish women report few symptoms.
A friend really appreciates her menopause. She suffers no ill effects, but her menstrual flow is far
lighter, and her period has been reduced to just three days.
She has always been very healthy, and has regularly taken some vitamins and supplements.
She also has always had a high testosterone level.
Are these factors significant? If you view them in the light of the fact that North American women
seem to suffer the most, and she is one, that might be seen to makes her exceptional.
Signs and Symptoms of Menopause.
Menopause does not occur one fine day, while walking in the park, like a mugger’s attack. No one
calls 911.
It is a process that usually is spread over a few years.
Menopause is the cessation of periods and is due to hormonal changes.
These hormonal changes cause various symptoms. Different women experience different
symptoms and no single woman experiences all symptoms (one prays not, anyway).
Signs and Symptoms of Menopause
Hot Flashes and Night Sweats.
Hot flashes are the most common menopause symptom. You suddenly feel very hot around your
face, neck and other parts of your upper body.
You may develop red blemishes on her arms, back, and chest.
These flashes may be experienced almost anytime and anywhere.
Hot flashes could wake you from your sleep.
This is often followed by excessive sweating and, sometimes, then by a feeling of intense cold
and shivering.
Insomnia.
Night sweats may keep you awake. There could be many incidents of night sweats in any single
night. This disturbs your sleep and reduces the chance that you will get any more sleep that night.
Fatigue.
Excessive night sweats disturb the sleep, with resultant fatigue.
Irritability.
Irritability occurs when you become tense due to frequent hot flashes in your day, and sweating
at night. Lack of sufficient rest can make you irritable.
Mood Changes.
Changes in estrogen levels can have an effect on your moods. You may experience severe mood
swings and often feel depressed.
Mood swings can be aggravated by fatigue.
Vaginal dryness.
Your vaginal lining becomes thinner and loses its flexibility. This can cause vaginal dryness and
intercourse may become painful.
Incontinence.
With age and menopausal symptoms, the organs surrounding the vagina begin shrinking and
thinning. Different parts of the urinary tract and urethra lose their elasticity and incontinence can
result.
This may increase the chance of urinary tract infections, which lead to frequent and/or sudden
urination.
Osteoporosis.
Menopause decreases bone density, so you may face a greater risk of fractures. Osteoporosis
would make your bones brittle and more prone to bone ailments.
Poor estrogen levels weaken the bones.
Hair changes.
With the onset of menopause, your testosterone (male hormone) levels start increasing while
estrogen levels decrease. This imbalance causes an increase in facial hair and thinning of normal
hair, as is common among men.
Drying of your skin.
Poor hormone levels may result in shrinking of your skin. You may develop age spots. Your skin
may become dryer and look malnourished.
Cigarette smoking may increase these effects.
Aches.
Body aches, pain in the joints and headaches are common menopause symptoms. Sometimes,
you may suffer serious headaches, leading to migraines.
Weight Increase.
Increase in weight, especially in the pelvic region, is a common menopausal symptom.
Irregular Periods.
The ovaries do keep producing estrogen, although progesterone levels are in decline. Menstrual
periods do not follow what had been your normal routine and could extend for many days or for a
shorter time. Bleeding could be heavy with excessive clotting, or just some spotting.
Anxiety.
Menopause can cause palpitations (irregular and rapid, or pulsating) heartbeats. You may
become more restless and anxious with every small incident.
Sore breasts.
You may experience tenderness in your breasts, making them sore and painful. Hormonal
changes are a major cause for such soreness.
Fluid retention.
Hormonal changes can affect your gastro-intestinal tract. Excessive fluid retention in your body
could cause bloating.
Memory Loss.
Progesterone affects the functioning of nerve cells and may cause some loss of memory.
Decreased Sexual Appetite.
Hormonal changes may cause changes in libido. Sexual arousal may be low due to vaginal
dryness and other discomfort. Menopause, of course, will not protect one from STD’s unless it
completely turns one off from sex.

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
- Smoking and how it affects menopause
- 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!
Find out how. Grab your copy today and start feeling better tonight!

It begins like any other day. After hours of tossing and turning, you have
finally fallen into a fitful sleep when you are jarred awake by the blaring
of your alarm clock.
Already feeling depleted before the day begins, you drag yourself out of
bed, stagger to the shower and try to shake off the nagging anticipation
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.
Are you a Ticking Time Bomb? Do you even know if you are?
It's irrefutable. Stress is a risk factor for heart disease and other illness

stress:

and other illnesses as a result of stress in your life.

Time Bomb" you need to read, "Stress - The Silent Killer."
