Today we will
be looking at menopausal problems which is one of the problems that affect the
elderly especially women who have crossed child bearing age. Many years ago
menopause was common among women in their fifties but today we see women
experiencing menopause as early as their late thirties.
MENOPAUSAL
PROBLEMS
When a woman
has crossed from her child bearing age & no longer menstruates there are a
lot of hormonal changes that takes place in her body such that she begins to
experience explainable symptoms. She may think that she is ill but it is not necessary a disease. This is just an alteration in the season of life that is
accompanied by many uncomfortable symptoms that can be control if properly
understood.
For women it is
called “menopause” while for men is
is called “andropause”. It is more severe & pronounced among men
that women.
Symptoms Experience During Menopause
A woman going
through menopause may even think that her life is ending because of the severe
discomfort that she is experiencing.
She becomes
highly irritable & very touchy.
She experiences
mood swings. She is happy one minute the next moment she is depressed & she
can’t just explain why she is sad because every-thing about her family &
business is okay.
She begins to
experience severe heat called “hot flash” which is like a kind of heat that
starts from the head & moves like a wave through the whole body accompanied
with sweat & the next moment she is cold.
All these
symptoms are just due to the hormonal changes taking place during menopause in the
body of a woman.
Once
a woman begins to experience these symptoms she should talk to qualified
medical personnel
