When Women Go Through Menopause?

Menopause is a condition in which women do not have menstruation for one year. A gradual transitioning to menopause is characterized by changing the length of the menstrual cycle. During menopause, the ovaries stop their function. They are located in the female pelvis and have the size and shape of an almond. The ovaries produce eggs and female hormones - estrogen.



These hormones control  breast growth, shape of the body, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and others. Estrogens also protect the bones, which in turn, prompts that women may develop osteoporosis, later in their life (when the ovaries stop producing normal amounts of estrogen).


When women go through menopause?

The average age is about 51 years, but it is very difficult to predict symptoms, when a woman will enter menopause. The age at which girls begin menstruation has nothing to do with the age, at which menopause will occur. Most women reach menopause at the age of 45-55, but it can also occur earlier (30-40 years), or  up to 60 years of age.


What affects the onset of menopause?

1.Ovary removal surgery.
The removal of the ovaries of a woman in ovulation, lead to immediate onset of menopause, also called surgical menopause.
A common practice is to remove the ovaries along with the uterus.

If  a woman has  their uterus removed, they cannot have menstruation, but their ovaries may continue to produce hormones until menopause occurs. At that time, we can see other typical symptoms of menopause - hot flashes and mood swings.

2.Chemotherapy and radiotherapy (cancer).

In this situation, menopausal symptoms may occur during cancer treatment or months thereafter.

3.Prematurely ovarian failure.

It is associated with menopause before 40 years of age. This condition is related to only one percent of women. It’s not clear what is the reason, but it is believed that it may be associated with autoimmune diseases, or genetic and hereditary factors.

Menopause  - signs and symptoms

It is individual, but some women may experience a little, or no symptoms, while others experience many physical and psychological symptoms. It is important to note that the signs can appear and disappear through a prolonged period of time. It is strictly individual. Below are some of the most common symptoms:

1. Irregular menstrual bleeding.

It can occur during menopause and some women may have minor problems (especially during perimenopause, it is a transitional period before menopause), while others may have excessive bleeding. Menstruation may appear more frequently or have an extended cycle before menopause. There is no "normal" pattern of bleeding during perimenopause.

A woman can have irregular periods for years, before menopause occurs. However, it is a good idea to visit a doctor to determine, whether irregular bleeding is result of perimenopause, and it’s not some disease. Menstrual abnormalities during perimenopause, are associated with decreased fertility, because ovulation is irregular. Women still should not despair, because despite menopause, they can get pregnant until they haven’t reached the "real" menopause.

2. Hot flashes and night sweats.

They are typical of women entering menopause. Hot flashes, spreading throughout the body are expressed, most often in the head and chest. They last from 30 seconds to several minutes and can be followed by redness. It is assumed, that the cause of hot flashes due to the combination of hormonal and biochemical fluctuations, because of the reduction of female hormone-estrogen.

Hot flashes occur in 40% of women, who have regular menstrual period, when they reach the age of forty. There have been rare cases (about ten percent) when hot flashes may continue for about ten years. The average duration of hot flushes is about 5 years. Sometimes hot flashes may be accompanied by sweating.

3.Vaginal changes.

They appear as a result of a reduction in hormone levels, in which the lining of the vagina becomes thin and elastic. Symptoms may include:

  • vaginal dryness
  • itching or irritation
  • pain during sex
Vaginal changes may lead to a greater risk of vaginal infections.

4.Urinary symptoms.

They appear as the lining of the urethra also undergoes changes (as in the vagina). Reducing the amount of female hormones cause it. Mucous becomes dry and prone to urinary tract infections. Women then feel the need to urinate frequently. Leakage can be caused by stress when coughing, laughing or lifting heavy objects.

5.Emotional and cognitive symptoms.

They occurr during perimenopause and include fatigue, memory problems, irritability and mood swings. It is difficult to determine what exactly is due to hormonal changes during menopause. Many women may have other changes in their lives during and after menopause, which can cause these symptoms.

6. Other important physical changes. 

Along with menopause many women complain of weight gain. Other changes that may occur during menopause are:

  • changes in the structure of the skin
  • wrinkles or acne
  • appearance of hair on the chin, upper lip, chest or abdomen
How does menopause affects chronic diseases?

1.Osteoporosis

Bone density begins to reduce in women when they are close to 40s, but during menopause this process accelerates. The process that leads to osteoporosis can flow underground for years.

 2.Heart diseases.

At menopause, risk of stroke and heart diseases increases. The risk of coronary artery disease increases by 2 to 3 times, rather than in women, who have not reached menopause.

Alternative therapies for treatment of menopause

To increase levels of female hormones (an estrogen) you should eat more plants that contain estrogenic substances:

  • soybeans, soy sprouts, crushed flaxseed, garlic, green beans, sesame, wheat, pumpkin seeds, cucumber, corn, apples, seeds of anise, cabbage, beets, olive oil, olives, papaya, oats, peas, sunflower seeds
