There’s No Stopping Women: Putting a Pause on Early Signs of Menopause

Majority of us women lose our vigor and excitement for life as we age. We start to observe different kinds of physical and psychological changes in us as we reach our 50s. Most of these unpleasant changes we experience are brought about by menopause. We can’t let menopause put a pause in our daily activities.

Here’s how we can put a pause to menopause:

Be educated.

Know that menopause is an inevitable stage in the life of every woman. It is not a disease, but a normal and natural occurring event we have to undergo. It is a time of transition when the number of female hormones such as estrogen starts to decline and the function of the ovaries ceases. On the average, women start to reach menopause at the age of 51. However, women already start to experience hormonal changes earlier in their 30s to 40s.

Recognize the signs.

Menopausal symptoms vary in women. Women may begin to experience symptoms anywhere between the ages of 30 to 35. The main and most common symptoms of menopause include irregular periods, hot flashes, insomnia, emotional changes, joint and muscle aches and pains, vaginal dryness, and urinary incontinence.

Other symptoms include low energy levels, weight gain, decreased sex drive, fatigue, sleep disturbances, depression, and the like.

Confirm menopause.

Before putting a pause to menopause, women need to seek for accurate confirmation from their respective gynecologists. There are two diagnoses one can undergo to confirm menopause, the physical test or Pap Smear, and the blood test or Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Test.

During the physical test, the gynecologist will ask for the last date of menstruation and the frequency of menopausal symptoms. A Pap Smear can also be done to check for irregularities or thinning in the vaginal wall.

A Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Test or a blood test is done to check one’s hormone levels, specifically looking for the levels of the FSH and the estrogen. During the menopausal stage, a woman’s FSH level increases, and the estrogen level decreases.

Seek for help.

After the confirmation of being menopausal, we have to counterattack the different unwanted menopausal changes in our bodies.

We can’t skip the menopausal stage, but we can do something about it. Putting a pause to menopause is totally doable and possible. There’s no stopping women now, not even menopause!
