Menopause – An Overview
Menopause is a normal biologic process. It is the time in a woman’s life when she stops having
regular monthly periods.
It signifies the end of her reproductive period.
Normally, women enter menopause around the same age as their mother did. This, typically,
occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although this can vary, sometimes by as much as ten
years.
Hormones like estrogen and progesterone regulate menstruation and pregnancy in women.
When your ovaries stop producing these hormones, menopause is triggered.
Menopause can set in earlier in women who have never been pregnant, live in high altitudes or
smoke regularly. So, ladies, if you want kids but have not had any and are in your thirties … get
busy.
Usually, the first indication of approaching menopause is irregular periods. This time is called
perimenopause. For some, this period could last for as much as ten years.
The irregularities may be in the length of period, level of bleeding and time between periods. If a
woman stops having regular periods for more than twelve consecutive months and she is not
suffering from any other ailment, she is in perimenopause.
Hormonal changes are the main cause for menopause. These changes can also increase the risk
of:
- Osteoporosis
- increased incidence of fractures due to decreasing bone density
- higher cholesterol levels, and
- heart disease.
Common symptoms of menopause include nausea, hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats,
fatigue, vaginal itching and dryness, depression, heavy bleeding, weight gain, urinary
incontinence, lowered sex drive, insomnia, changes in breast shape, thinning of skin and
headaches.
Gosh, did I miss any?
Natural and Artificial Menopause.
Menopause usually fits into one of two categories; natural or artificial. There is another type of
menopause; premature menopause, but it is not very common.
If a woman ceases to have regular menstrual periods before the age of forty, it is called
“premature menopause”. This is most likely due to genetic causes, autoimmune diseases,
smoking or exposure to harmful chemicals.
The majority of women have a natural menopause.
Artificial menopause occurs because of the surgical removal of ovaries.
Tests
There are a few tests that determine menopause in women.
Blood tests check levels of follicle stimulating hormone or FSH. This hormone prompts growth of
eggs during your reproductive period. Their decreasing levels reduce estrogen levels and
menopause sets in.
Bone testing checks bone density levels. Lower than usual levels indicate decreasing bone
density, a common symptom of approaching menopause.
There are medications for helping with menopausal symptoms and menopause, there are also a
few simple home remedies and certain lifestyle changes you can try to get more relief.
Soy protein is claimed by some people to be very helpful for menopausal symptoms. Drink
soymilk, include soy flour or tofu in your regular diet, or eat raw or roasted soybeans.
Refrain from spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine, as these aggravate menopause symptoms.
Consume a low-fat and low-cholesterol diet.
Regular aerobic exercise may provide some relief from hot flashes.
Strength training exercises can increase the strength of bones.
You might also try alternative therapies like deep breathing exercises, acupuncture,
biofeedback, hypnosis, meditation and paced respiration with slow breathing.
Menopause is not an ailment or illness. But, if you want to alleviate some of the symptoms, you
can get hormone replacement therapy.
This may bring extensive relief from osteoporosis and hot flashes. But, hormone replacement
therapy may have serious side effects.
It may make you more vulnerable to strokes, breast cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
Some people claim that testosterone shots can provide great relief from the unpleasant side-
effects of menopause. They say that women with high testosterone levels suffer little, or
sometimes not at all, from menopause. This is not a widely held view and there does not seem to
be any definitive supporting research.
Because menopause is not an ailment, you cannot prevent its occurrence. But, you can increase
the likelihood that you will have a smooth transition period by reducing possible risk factors.
Increase calcium consumption in your diet. This is possible through daily consumption of
reasonable quantities of milk, yogurt, cheese, calcium-fortified orange juice, salmon or calcium
dietary supplements.
WARNING: Excessive intake of calcium may increase the chance of kidney stones. Therefore,
always consult your health provider about what is a suitable level of calcium supplementation for
you.
It is a good idea to have a thorough annual check-up once you are forty or beyond. This check-
up should include pelvic examination, breast examination and mammogram.
Checking for colon and heart disease is also very worthwhile.

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

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!
