Menopause Information and Symptoms

Menopause Symptoms

When the menstrual cycle ceases various physiological and psychological changes takes place in women’s life. The range of symptoms is very wide. These can be due to hormonal changes and vitiation of Vata affecting female reproductive system and nervous system.

Vata type- tingling and numbness, pain in joints, pain in muscles, backache, cervical arthritis, insomnia, nervousness, anxiety, and restlessness.

Pitta type-there is more irritation and hot flushes on the face.

Kapha type- edema in joints and legs with lethargy is very common.

Menstrual changes can occur suddenly or gradually. Cardiovascular changes include hot flushing and sweating. Neurological and emotional changes include paraesthesiae in the form of sensations of pins and needles in the extremities. Locomotion system includes changes like arthropathy, fibrosis and backache. Endocrine system includes dryness of skin and reduction in mental power. Genital tract changes include progressive atrophy of vulva skin. Vagina becomes dry and atrophy of cervix takes place, which causes pain and burning sensation during and after sexual intercourse.

How we fight against it and how we dread tit. Or mothers spoke of the change of life in hushed whispers as though it were the plague itself come to visit us. Yet why should we dread it? The physical problems associated with the menopause are usually no more or less than those endured during our normal periods though more erratic. The physical changes can be counteracted by more advanced thinking on diet, cosmetics and lifestyle.

Think how much happier you will be when you no longer have the curse or the fear of unwanted pregnancy and, unless you have a beady eye out for a toy boy, your husbands are ageing long with you. If you already have their love and respect you are not going to lose it overnight because you have one or two more wrinkles or the odd grey hair, and if bits do look in danger of dropping off or sagging beyond redemption that is probably your own fault for not having taken care in the past so you will have to work harder now. 

What is unfair I that our own self inflicted punishment and neurosis at this time can turn our loving families away from us because they just do not understand why a good and happy mother and partner has so suddenly  changed. This can cause far greater unhappiness to everyone than is necessary. In this modern age women in their  middle years are holding down high powered jobs, carving new careers for themselves, finding creative hobbies and traveling extensively because all these options are pen to them and they do not have to think about putting their families first. It is the time of their life. To many women, no matter how much they miss the mixed blessings of motherhood, this is a new-found and welcome freedom.

Nowadays our diets can be boosted with mineral and vitamin supplements to ensure that our faculties are kept intact and our bones strong. Looking and feeling good is not vanity: it is our right. Whilst we all have to work hard at it ourselves it is also worth examining hormone replacement therapy as an optional extra to boost good health and natural vitality once we have passed the so – called hurdle of the menopause.
