I know I am still a decade or so away from menopause {I am still in my early thirties, after all!} but I have heard tales about menopause that led me to researching about it online for more information. I know I have wished on a few occasions, mostly during uncomfortable days when I had my period, for menopause to come to me sooner, but after a bit of reading, am going to have to change my mind + wished for menopause to come when I am in my 60’s!
What is Menopause
Is the end of the fertile phase of a woman’s life which usually occurs to women in the late 40’s + early 50’s. It is the permanent end of the primary function of the human ovaries which is the ripening + release of ova + the release of hormones that cause the creating of the uterine lining + its subsequent shedding, we refer in lay man’s terms as the menses or periods.
Some of the symptoms of menopause include:
- anxiety
- hair loss
- depression
- decrease of libido
- headaches
- sleep disorders
- worsening allergies
- weight gain
- memory lapses
- mood swings
- difficulty concentrating
- digestive problems
- hormone replacement therapy which relieves many menopause symptoms, although the lowest does is recommended as higher dose might pose threats to other medical conditions including higher risk of breast cancer, stroke + dimentia
- selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors {SSRI’s} which are found to be most effective in alleviating hot flashes + are more commonly used to treat depression
- selective estrogen receptor modulators {SERM}
- Changing your dietary habit + eat foods like soy, which is rich in isoflavones
- Avoiding caffeine, hot + spicy foods, as well as alcohol

I hit menopause at age 45 and the hot flashes were horrible! Up until about 3 years ago (after 5+ years of flashes)I still get them but not nearly as bad as before. That was the old symptom I had…except for the weight gain…groans…but it wasn’t all that much.
I can only imagine who cumbersome it must’ve been for you to experience all those hot flashes + for 3 years, too! I am glad they are gone + the weight gain isn’t much 🙂 Thanks for dropping by 🙂
will try to eat lots of food or drinks with soy, i dont like to experience the symptoms of Menopause, thanks for the info sis!
