#menopause depression and weight gain

[dollsahoy]

So. Perimenopause.

I have been reading about perimenopause. Not everyone experiences it the same, but some common issues are:

Depression!

Hot flashes!

Weird menstrual periods!

Weight gain! Mostly in your abdomen!

Forgetfulness!

Brain fog!

Craving sweets!

Acne and facial hair!

Irritability!

Hard to sleep!

Fatigue!

Headaches! Big nasty estrogen drop migraines!

Mood swings!

Tender achy boobs!

Joint pain!

Anxiety!

It can start anywhere from the late 30s to early 50s, taking generally four years to turn into menopause proper. Sometimes it takes less than four years, sometimes more. On the average, perimenopause starts around 47 and menopause starts at 51.

Some people liken the changes to going through puberty again.

You've been warned.

Hormone Imbalance...

What are some of the causes creating menopause, weight gain, depression and more? 🤔

- Barbara O’Neil

[oldladynerd]

Well fuck.

Just need a little self pity session here. Feel free to ignore. And yes, I'm fully aware others have it worse. Like my child currently in a bipolar depressive episode of more than a year.

I'm not totally sure what's going on. Maybe a regular depression despite medication. Maybe some sort of burn out. Just mostly paralysed, sitting in my sofa corner. Occasionally crying, but mostly numb. Or anxious and quiet.

Went home from work before noon on Monday. Tried going back on Thursday, but left after half the day. Managed to get some things done, which didn't require much thinking, but as soon as I needed to make decisions, I was out. Complete nope.

Maybe the little things were adding up? The inspection at work (I was in the back office pulling out data and documents, never had to front), which went super well. A bunch of evaluations I need to do, which are not showing a tidy picture. Bunch of configuration changes that need approval before doing them. Worry about my (grown up, moved out and engaged) child (but bipolar). Shame about not keeping in touch with dad much. Gaining weight. 2 kg in about a month is a bit much. Aches and pains, although right now that's better. High blood pressure. Maybe it's all menopause? And shame over not quitting cigarettes. Most days, 3. On a bad day up to five cigarettes. It's not a lot. I should be able to quit. But am lacking willpower.

I do have a psychiatrist appointment next week, at the adhd clinic, because at my last request for renewing my antidepressants they realised it's been 3 years since i saw someone. Will bring up that list of signs of autistic shut down, where I checked off more than half. Might look at autistic burn out too, since this is slower than immediate shut down. Maybe ask for some adhd medication, I stopped methylphenidate abruptly because of blood pressure after a year, and have no adhd meds since then. My evaluation five years ago showed tendencies of autism, but not enough for diagnosis.

I also have an appointment with the GP, the week after next. Will try to remember all my physical issues then. Maybe hormones might help.

Oh well. I shall survive, for sure. It would be nice to feel a little happier though. The occasional moment of joy.

Educating people on PMDD because i’m tired of it being perceived as just really bad PMS. I wrote this for my partner, but I think it’s helpful to those with the condition and those with loved ones who struggle with PMDD.

It is unclear what totally causes PMDD, but most say it’s a sensitivity to fluctuating hormones during the luteal phase. When estrogen dips and progesterone rises, it fucks with your serotonin levels. PMDD can also caused by hormonal imbalances. There is also a history of having trauma or CPTSD when one has this illness. The condition is also known to worsen over time until you reach menopause.

You know how some people drink alcohol and become happy while others become angry and depressed? That’s how you can perceive how one reacts to their progesterone levels with this disorder; like a negative manifestation of alcohol consumption. It’s almost as if you have an allergic reaction to your hormones when they drastically fluctuate.

“Hormones not only control your body and everything you do and feel, they are everything you do and feel. A Hormone makes you feel happy or sad, accomplished or motivated, affectionate, horny, competitive, hungry or full. We’re a walking sack of chemical reactions that appears to be sentient.”

There are 3 phases of the menstrual cycle: the follicular phase, ovulatory phase, and luteal phase. The luteal phase (last phase) of the menstrual cycle is usually 12–14 days long, but can also be longer lasting up to 17 days. The luteal phase of your menstrual cycle occurs right after ovulation and ends when you get your period. During the luteal phase, serotonin levels drop changing the brain’s neurocircuit that affects emotional and cognitive functioning.

Everyone gets PMS right before their period. I understand why people believe PMDD to be a “more intensive” PMS, but the major difference is PMDD is a long-term Chronic illness; it’s disabling.

PMDD affects your ability to normally function in your relationships, at work and in your home. PMDD completely alters your ability to function as you normally would outside of this cycle.

The symptoms usually occur in the week prior to menstruation, but for me personally, I experience these symptoms for at least 10-12 days; practically during my entire luteal phase. PMDD symptoms are the worst when your progesterone levels are the highest.

Here is a very long list of symptoms that can manifest in someone who struggles with PMDD

Common physical symptoms:

-Abdominal bloating

-Breast tenderness or swelling

-Headaches

-Nausea

-Feeling weak

-Abdominal cramps and pain

-Weight gain

-Clumsiness

-Body discomfort

-Being more jittery/restless

-Binge eating

-Sleep dysregulation

-Swelling of the hands or feet

-Joint or muscle pain

-Tension and soreness in body

Common emotional/mental symptoms:

-Angry outbursts/feelings of intense hatred

-Anxiety

-Confusion

-Depression

-Dysphoria

-Feeling overwhelmed/out of control

-Libidinal (sex drive) changes

-Mood swings

-Decreased concentration

-Irritability

-Appetite changes

-Restlessness

-Lack of interest in usual activities

-Feelings of hopelessness

-Social withdrawal

-Overthinking

-Paranoia

-Stress

-Crying spells

-Repetitive suicidal thoughts/suicidal ideation

-Panic attacks

-Lashing out on people/objects

-Lack of concentration

-Insomnia

-Shameful feelings

-Reactivity (feeling more sensitive than usual and taking things more personally)

-Thoughts that everyone hates you or wants you dead

-Brain fog

-Thoughts of ending things/impaired decision making (relationships, life, jobs, etc.)

Prevalence rates for lifetime suicidal ideation in people with PMDD were 45.8% and 37.4%, compared with 17.3% and 13.3% for people without PMDD. Many have attempted suicide or had a plan to get away from the debilitating illness.

How can I help a loved one who struggles with PMDD?

PMDD not only affects the person with the condition, but it also affects the people around them, especially their loved ones. One of the worst parts about PMDD is the sense of shame that’s felt when one realizes that they were short/rude to a loved one who didn’t deserve it. Many people don’t feel like themselves during their PMDD episodes as it can bring out the worst parts of yourself.

-If a loved one is going through an episode and does something you don’t like, talk compassionately to them about what hurt you and set a boundary: It’s very common for those with this condition to act unconsciously, have outbursts and disagreements during an episode. If you point your finger at them with frustration, they’ll either get angry and lash out even more or feel awful and internalize what you said due to the lack of awareness. Hold the person accountable, but remember that they aren’t intentionally meaning to frustrate you.

-Remind yourself AND your loved one that they’re having an episode: It can feel like your loved one is creating tension in the relationship as they may frequently express negative feelings. You may internalize this thinking that you’ve done something and take it personally, but most likely you haven’t and they’re just incredibly sensitive and vulnerable at this time. When one is going through an episode, their serotonin levels are quite literally at their lowest during their luteal phase. By reminding yourself that this is just an episode and having understanding that your partner is not doing this out of ill-intent makes you less hard on yourself and by reminding your partner that they’re experiencing an episode helps them be less hard on themselves and makes them more mindful as to how they may be functioning within the relationship.

-Take care of your loved one: Offer things that may ease their symptoms.

-Show your loved one some extra tender love and care: During this time your loved one’s view of themself will be at their lowest. Show them you love them and reassure them that they’re a good person and deserve to be loved.

-Help them reframe their mind and give them different perspectives: Sometimes it’s very hard for people with PMDD to see things differently. When they’re having a rough day during their episode they may not know how of pull themselves out of negative feelings/a negative mindset. They can also deal with false/negative beliefs, so it’s very helpful to offer different perspectives for them to cope better.

-Do things to make their lives easier during this time (ex. Cleaning apartment, doing dishes, doing small things you yourself can do (like grabbing the remote, putting something away, closing the door, etc.) rather than asking them to).

-Practice patience

-If you are dating someone with PMDD it’s very helpful to come up with a plan for the duration of your partner’s episode.

-If a loved one threatens to kill themselves or is acting off, please take it seriously.

If anyone who struggles with PMDD feel free to message me! You’re not overreacting or being too much; you’re living with an incredibly debilitating condition that alters your ability to self-regulate. I hope this was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions :)

Why Women’s Wellness: Understanding High Cholesterol and Heart Disease in Women

At Access Health Care Physicians, LLC, we prioritize women's wellness and recognize the unique health challenges they may face. In this article, we delve into the critical topic of high cholesterol and heart disease in women, shedding light on the importance of understanding these conditions to promote better heart health.

Introduction:

Heart disease is a leading cause of mortality among women worldwide. While it has long been associated with men, women also face significant risks related to heart health, particularly concerning high cholesterol levels. Understanding the connection between high cholesterol and heart disease is vital for empowering women to make informed decisions about their health.

The Impact of High Cholesterol on Heart Health:

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that our bodies need to build healthy cells. However, when cholesterol levels become elevated, it can lead to the accumulation of fatty deposits in the arteries, restricting blood flow to the heart. This condition, known as atherosclerosis, significantly increases the risk of heart disease and related complications.

Unique Risk Factors for Women:

Women may experience specific risk factors for high cholesterol and heart disease that differ from those of men. Some of these risk factors include:

Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman's life, such as during pregnancy, menopause, and the use of hormonal birth control, can impact cholesterol levels and heart health.

Smoking: Smoking is a prominent risk factor for heart disease in women. Female smokers face a higher risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular issues.

Diabetes: Women with diabetes are at an increased risk of developing heart disease compared to men with diabetes.

Sedentary Lifestyle: Physical inactivity can lead to weight gain and unfavorable changes in cholesterol levels, contributing to heart disease risk.

Stress and Depression: Chronic stress and depression have been linked to higher cholesterol levels and an increased risk of heart disease in women.

Recognizing Symptoms in Women:

Women may experience different heart attack symptoms than men. While chest pain is a common symptom for both genders, women may also present with other signs, including:

Pain or discomfort in the neck, jaw, or upper back

Shortness of breath

Nausea or vomiting

Lightheadedness or fainting

Pain or discomfort in one or both arms

It is essential for women to be aware of these symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if they experience any of them.

Preventive Measures for Women's Heart Health:

Preventing heart disease begins with proactive lifestyle choices and regular health checkups. Here are some preventive measures that women can take to improve heart health:

Healthy Diet: Adopt a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit the intake of saturated and trans fats, as they can contribute to elevated cholesterol levels.

Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling, for at least 150 minutes per week.

Manage Stress: Practice stress-reduction techniques, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises, to promote emotional well-being.

Quit Smoking: If you smoke, seek support to quit smoking and improve your heart health significantly.

Regular Checkups: Schedule regular visits with healthcare providers for preventive screenings and cholesterol level assessments.

Conclusion:

Promoting women's wellness involves understanding the specific risks and challenges they may face concerning heart health. High cholesterol is a significant contributor to heart disease in women, but with early detection and lifestyle modifications, it can be effectively managed and even prevented.

At Access Health Care Physicians, LLC, we are committed to providing comprehensive care to women, empowering them to take charge of their health. Our team of healthcare providers offers personalized guidance and support to enhance heart health and overall well-being.

Educate yourself about heart disease and high cholesterol, make informed choices, and take proactive steps towards a healthier heart and a happier life.

So TW medical bitterness, cancer, hysterectomy, abnormal periods, mental health, past abuse. I just want to encourage others with my story, I guess.

Since 2018, I knew something was wrong with my uterus, but I figured I was just young and didn't know stuff yet. I developed late emotionally/physically, like not even getting anything near a stereotypical period until I was 22, even though I'd been spotting since 12.

I started bleeding a lot and never really stopped, even with a fist-sized blood clot that nearly made me pass out. But I got on birth control for the anemia and they said it would reset my reproductive system.

Which for a lot of people it does! Not so for me.

Fast forward to 2020, and I'm in the hospital for a pulmonary embolism that was caused by the very same birth control that kept me from bleeding to death. I asked to get a hysterectomy because something ain't right.

They told me that I being was dramatic and swapped me to progesterone-only birth control. I didn't stop asking though.

Fast forward again to 2022, last November, and I got on antidepressants for the first time. Honestly, it's amazing no longer having a maelstrom of ADHD, anxiety (thanks hospital stay), and depression in my head where I feel lost.

But then I started bleeding again. The antidepressants overrode my birth control. So I quickly switched to another antidepressant and got into the gynecologist who put me on a progesterone booster.

They did an ultrasound and get this, in the 3 days I bled, my body made 19 mm of uterine lining. 19! A month later when I went back to see how much had been dissolved by the higher dose of meds (as is supposed to happen), I was only down to 16 mm of lining!

Obviously, it's not working and I produce far more than should be possible. NO SHIT.

Anyway, so March of this year, I had a D&C surgery. They scrape out my uterus and send all the contents to the lab for testing.

LO AND BEHOLD, TWO WEEKS LATER I AM CALLED IN BETWEEN NORMAL PATIENTS AND TOLD THAT I HAVE UTERINE CANCER.

The only thing I cried about was that I no longer have to fight to get the hysterectomy because it's now seen as a lifesaving operation instead of "convenience".

I'm the one driving this meat suit and I told them there was something wrong for YEARS.

So, in 8 days (April 27th, 2023, since I don't know when this will get shared), I get a hysterectomy and my life back. All the risks of birth control, the weight gain, so much will be gone and I can lower doses on my other meds.

Yes, I'm fat and they can blame as much as they want on that fact, but now that the causes of my overeating are finally getting fixed, I'm losing said weight and I will finally be free.

I'm a subset of asexual with sexual abuse trauma, so while I know the big choice I'm losing, I would rather be alive and foster kids when I'm older than have kids/a relationship and be the emotional/verbal abuser that my parents were because it's so internalized that I haven't dug it out yet.

Never stop asking. Never let them sweep you off to the side. Make your doctor rule out everything until they finally do what you want.

I'm bitter, I admit it. I'm bitter against my mom for not diagnosing me with my ADHD and getting me medicated as a child. My first adderall was my 30th birthday, because I snuck behind her back for it. I don't give a shit about the stigma of mental health, I want to be free. I want to be me.

Find the good doctors out there and hang onto them. Dig your feet in and stand up. AFAB are more than the uteruses we are born with. Fat people are more than just our fat. We are people worth getting real genuine help by the medical field. We need more people to learn how people of different races are built differently too.

I now can't even take HRT (to stave off menopause) because I've had both embolism and cancer.

I admit, I wasn't strong enough to fight against my family for the help I needed, and I'm not sure if it was because I was a coward or just not mature enough. But I'm a human being.

I'm going to win and be happy, even if it takes me fighting for the rest of my life to be seen as worthwhile. I'm so tired, but I won't fall. I can't.

-Audra

Hi Audra,

I'm so sorry that you struggled to get a proper diagnosis and treatment, but I'm glad that you could get the help you needed. Your experiences highlight the importance of advocating for ourselves and persistently seeking the help and treatment we deserve.

The bitterness you feel towards your mom and the healthcare system is valid. It's natural to have complex emotions when reflecting on the past and the support that could have made a significant difference in your life. But the focus now is on your well-being and reclaiming your life.

Please know that you are more than the conditions you've faced. You are a human being deserving of compassion, understanding, and comprehensive healthcare. It's essential to take care of yourself mentally and physically as you continue your healing journey.

I hope I could help. Please feel free to reach out if you need anything.

Importance of Hormone Testing for Women: Finding Hormonal Balance

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle has become a top priority for women of all ages. One crucial aspect of women's well-being is hormone balance. Hormones play a vital role in regulating various bodily functions, impacting everything from mood and energy levels to reproductive health and overall vitality. Hormone testing for women has emerged as an essential tool in identifying hormonal imbalances and providing targeted solutions for improved quality of life. In this blog, we'll delve into the significance of hormone testing, its benefits, and how easy it is to find hormone testing near you.

Understanding the Importance of Hormone Testing for Women

Hormones are chemical messengers that control various bodily functions. For women, hormonal balance is particularly crucial due to the intricate interplay of hormones during different life stages, including puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Fluctuations in hormones can lead to a wide range of health issues, including mood swings, fatigue, irregular periods, weight gain, and fertility problems.

Hormone testing enables women to get a comprehensive view of their hormonal health. By measuring hormone levels in the blood, saliva, or urine, healthcare professionals can identify any imbalances and tailor treatment plans to address specific needs effectively.

The Benefits of Hormone Testing for Women

2.1 Personalized Treatment Plans

One of the primary benefits of hormone testing for women is the ability to create personalized treatment plans. Every woman's hormonal makeup is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Hormone testing allows healthcare providers to design tailored interventions that address individual hormone imbalances, leading to better outcomes.

2.2 Improved Emotional Well-being

Hormones can significantly impact a woman's emotional well-being. Imbalances in estrogen, progesterone, or thyroid hormones can cause mood swings, anxiety, and even depression. Through hormone testing, healthcare professionals can identify the root cause of emotional disturbances and recommend appropriate therapies or lifestyle adjustments.

2.3 Enhanced Energy Levels and Vitality

Fatigue and low energy levels are common complaints among women. Hormone testing can reveal imbalances that may be contributing to these issues, such as low thyroid function or adrenal fatigue. By addressing these imbalances, women can experience increased energy levels and improved overall vitality.

2.4 Support for Reproductive Health

For women planning to conceive or experiencing fertility challenges, hormone testing can be a valuable tool. Identifying hormonal imbalances can help healthcare providers develop strategies to support reproductive health, potentially increasing the chances of successful conception.

2.5 Early Detection of Hormonal Disorders

The Convenience of Hormone Testing Near You

Nowadays, accessing hormone testing has become more convenient than ever. With the rise of healthcare advancements and telemedicine, finding hormone testing near you is just a few clicks away.

3.1 Local Healthcare Providers and Clinics

Many local healthcare providers and clinics offer hormone testing services. By searching online or reaching out to your primary care physician, you can find nearby facilities that provide hormone testing for women. Visiting a local clinic offers the advantage of in-person consultations with healthcare professionals who can guide you through the testing process and discuss the results in detail.

3.2 Online Hormone Testing Services

Alternatively, several online platforms now offer hormone testing kits that can be delivered to your doorstep. These test kits usually involve collecting a sample, such as saliva or blood, and sending it back to the testing company. The results are then provided online, along with personalized recommendations based on your hormone levels.

When using online hormone testing services, ensure you choose a reputable and certified provider to guarantee accurate results and reliable recommendations.

Conclusion

Hormone testing for women has become an indispensable tool in promoting overall health and well-being. By identifying hormone imbalances, women can receive personalized treatment plans to address their specific needs effectively. Whether you prefer in-person consultations or the convenience of online testing services, finding hormone testing near you has never been easier.

Remember, hormone balance is crucial for maintaining optimal health and vitality throughout all stages of life. Don't hesitate to seek hormone testing if you suspect any imbalances that may be affecting your quality of life. Take charge of your hormonal health today, and embrace a life of balance and well-being.

Perimenopause vs. Menopause: Key Differences

Understanding the difference between perimenopause and menopause is essential for women navigating these natural stages of life. Both phases mark shifts in hormonal balance and often bring symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and changes in menstrual cycles. However, they are distinct stages, each with unique characteristics. Let’s explore the key differences, common symptoms, and how to manage them effectively.

What is Perimenopause?

Perimenopause, also known as the “menopausal transition,” is the period leading up to menopause. It typically begins in a woman’s 40s but can start as early as the mid-30s. During this phase, estrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate, causing changes in the menstrual cycle. This stage can last anywhere from a few months to several years before reaching menopause.

Key Symptoms of Perimenopause:

Irregular Periods: Menstrual cycles become unpredictable; periods may be shorter, longer, heavier, or lighter than usual.

Hot Flashes and Night Sweats: These sudden heat waves are common and can disrupt sleep.

Mood Changes: Hormonal fluctuations can lead to irritability, mood swings, and even symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Sleep Problems: Many women experience insomnia or frequent wake-ups during perimenopause.

Physical Changes: Weight gain, especially around the abdomen, and changes in hair and skin texture may occur.

What is Menopause?

Menopause is the point at which a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, with the average age being around 51. Menopause signals the end of fertility and is marked by consistently low levels of estrogen and progesterone.

Key Symptoms of Menopause:

No Periods: The absence of menstruation for 12 consecutive months is the defining sign of menopause.

Continued Hot Flashes: Many women continue to experience hot flashes, but they may gradually reduce over time.

Vaginal Dryness: Lower estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness, discomfort, and even painful intercourse.

Bone Density Loss: Reduced estrogen can impact bone health, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

Cardiovascular Changes: A decline in estrogen may also affect heart health, contributing to higher cholesterol levels and blood pressure.

Key Differences Between Perimenopause and Menopause

1. Timing and Duration

Perimenopause is a transitional phase leading up to menopause and can last anywhere from a few months to a decade.

Menopause is a defined point, marked by the absence of periods for 12 months, and it signals the end of the perimenopausal phase.

2. Hormone Levels

In perimenopause, hormone levels fluctuate significantly, causing varying symptoms.

In menopause, estrogen and progesterone remain consistently low, leading to longer-term effects like bone density loss.

3. Symptoms

Perimenopause symptoms are often erratic due to fluctuating hormones, especially affecting the menstrual cycle.

Menopause symptoms are often more predictable and can include ongoing hot flashes and vaginal dryness, as well as long-term health changes.

Managing Symptoms of Perimenopause and Menopause

1. Lifestyle Adjustments

Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress-reducing practices such as yoga or meditation can help manage symptoms and improve overall well-being.

2. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

HRT can be beneficial for some women in relieving severe hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms by supplementing estrogen and/or progesterone. Always consult a healthcare provider to weigh the benefits and risks.

3. Natural Remedies

Supplements like black cohosh, evening primrose oil, and vitamin E are commonly used to ease symptoms. Phytoestrogens found in soy and flaxseed may also support hormone balance, but effectiveness can vary.

4. Sleep Hygiene

Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, reducing caffeine, and creating a calm bedtime routine can help with sleep disturbances, common in both perimenopause and menopause.

5. Regular Health Check-Ups

Routine visits to a healthcare provider help monitor changes in bone density, cardiovascular health, and hormone levels to address any arising issues early.

When to Seek Medical Advice

While perimenopause and menopause are natural life stages, some symptoms can be challenging or disruptive. If you experience extreme mood swings, severe hot flashes, or any unusual symptoms, consulting a healthcare provider can provide you with options for management and relief.

Understanding the difference between perimenopause and menopause can empower women to navigate these transitions with confidence. With lifestyle changes, medical support, and self-care, both stages can be managed in ways that support health and quality of life.

Common Hormone Issues That May Be Affecting You

Hormones need to be in constant balance in order for our body to be completely healthy. However, this balance is commonly disrupted by poor diet, being overweight, chronic stress, and illness. If you are experiencing any of the below-listed symptoms you may suffer from some form of hormonal imbalance. It is important to seek medical attention promptly to prevent your symptoms from worsening or new hormone issues arising. Your body's hormonal balance can be fully restored through a combination of conventional and natural treatment options.

Androgen Excess

Eight percent of women experience problems with androgen excess. The overproduction of male hormones may cause acne, excessive hair growth, irregular menstrual cycles, and even infertility.

Cortisol Imbalance

In response to stress, adrenal glands release cortisol. Chronically high cortisol levels can lead to high blood sugar, weak immune system, heart disease, adrenal fatigue, and weight gain.

Estrogen and Progesterone Imbalance

A balance between estrogen and progesterone directly affects women's reproductive health. When progesterone levels are low, estrogen becomes dominant. This can cause weight gain, irregular periods, and problems with getting pregnant. On the other hand, low levels of estrogen cause symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, accelerate age-related skin problems, and may result in coronary artery disease, osteoporosis, vaginal atrophy.

Insulin Imbalance

Women at menopause are at higher risk of developing insulin resistance, the overproduction of insulin. Symptoms of insulin resistance are extreme hunger or thirst, frequent urination, frequent infections, dark patches on the skin. If left untreated it may result in diabetes, heart, and vascular disease.

Thyroid Imbalance

Women, especially older than 60, have increased risk of developing hypothyroidism. Signs of having low levels of thyroid hormone are irregular or heavier than normal menstrual periods, depression, impaired memory, slowed heart rate, thinning hair, weight gain, muscle weakness, fatigue, high cholesterol, constipation, cold sensitivity, and dry skin.

Why More Women Are Turning to Menopause Clinics for Lasting Relief

Menopause is a significant life stage for women, characterized by the end of menstruation and a decline in hormone production. This natural biological process typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 but can happen earlier or later. The experience varies significantly from woman to woman, with some experiencing mild symptoms and others facing debilitating effects. Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are just a few of the common symptoms that can impact a woman’s quality of life during this transition. With these challenges in mind, more women are now seeking the expertise of menopause clinics to find lasting relief.

Menopause clinics, which specialize in addressing the unique needs of women going through perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, are becoming increasingly popular. Here's why these clinics are gaining traction and how they are helping women manage their symptoms more effectively.

A Tailored Approach to Treatment One of the main reasons women are turning to menopause clinics is the personalized care they provide. Unlike traditional medical practices, where menopause might be addressed as a secondary concern during routine checkups, menopause clinics focus specifically on women's midlife health. This specialized attention allows for a more comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating menopausal symptoms.

At menopause clinics, women receive individualized treatment plans based on their unique hormonal profiles, medical history, and symptom severity. This tailored approach often includes hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle recommendations, and alternative therapies such as acupuncture or herbal supplements. The goal is not just to alleviate symptoms but to improve overall well-being, taking into account each woman's physical and emotional health. More information on Menopause Clinic Horsham.

Access to Expertise in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the most effective treatments for alleviating menopausal symptoms. However, it has been a controversial topic due to concerns about the risks associated with long-term use, such as an increased chance of breast cancer, heart disease, and stroke. These risks, along with confusion around the benefits of HRT, have left many women hesitant to pursue this option.

Menopause clinics provide access to specialists who are well-versed in the latest research on HRT and can offer evidence-based advice. These experts can help women weigh the benefits and risks, adjust dosages, and monitor the effects over time. This level of specialized care can help women feel more confident in their treatment choices and can lead to better outcomes compared to the standard approach.

An Emphasis on Holistic Care Menopause affects more than just hormones; it can influence a woman's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Menopause clinics recognize the importance of addressing the broader impacts of this life stage and often offer a range of services that go beyond traditional medical treatments. This might include nutritional counseling, exercise programs tailored to support bone health and weight management, and mental health services to help women cope with mood swings, anxiety, and depression.

By taking a holistic approach, menopause clinics empower women to adopt lifestyle changes that can complement medical treatments. These changes often include dietary modifications to reduce triggers of hot flashes, stress management techniques like yoga or meditation, and strength training exercises to combat osteoporosis. The emphasis on holistic care helps women feel more in control of their health and can lead to more sustainable relief from symptoms.

Addressing the Social Stigma Around Menopause Despite affecting nearly half of the population at some point in their lives, menopause is still a topic surrounded by stigma and misinformation. Many women feel embarrassed or isolated by their symptoms, which can prevent them from seeking help. Menopause clinics are at the forefront of changing this narrative by providing a supportive environment where women can openly discuss their experiences without judgment.

The staff at menopause clinics are often trained not only in medical treatments but also in understanding the social and psychological impacts of menopause. This can make a significant difference in a woman’s experience, as it fosters a sense of community and validation. By normalizing conversations around menopause, these clinics help break down the barriers that have historically prevented women from seeking the care they need.

Proactive Management of Long-Term Health Risks Menopause is more than just a temporary phase; it marks the beginning of a new chapter in a woman's health. With the decline in estrogen levels, women are at a higher risk for certain conditions, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. Menopause clinics offer proactive screening and prevention strategies to help women manage these risks.

By addressing long-term health concerns early, menopause clinics help women not only alleviate immediate symptoms but also safeguard their future well-being. For example, they may recommend bone density tests, cardiovascular screenings, and cognitive assessments as part of a comprehensive approach to health during and after menopause.

A Growing Demand for Better Care The increasing popularity of menopause clinics is also a response to a broader movement demanding better healthcare for women. For decades, the medical community has focused on reproductive health, often overlooking the unique needs of women beyond childbearing years. The rise of menopause clinics reflects a shift towards more inclusive healthcare that acknowledges the diverse experiences of women throughout their lives.

Women today are more informed and empowered to seek specialized care. With more resources available online and a growing number of healthcare providers advocating for better menopausal care, there is a greater awareness of the options available. This has contributed to the demand for menopause clinics, where women can access the expertise and support they deserve.

Conclusion Menopause clinics are transforming the way women experience this significant life stage by providing personalized, holistic, and expert-led care. As more women seek out these specialized clinics, they are finding lasting relief from symptoms and gaining a better understanding of how to manage their health proactively. The trend toward menopause clinics represents not just a change in how women approach menopause, but also a broader movement towards more comprehensive and inclusive healthcare.

Women in their 30s: 4 Essential tips for staying fit and healthy as you age

As you age, staying fit and healthy becomes more important than ever. With the right knowledge and techniques, however, it doesn't have to be difficult. In this article, we will discuss four essential tips that all women in their 30s should take into account if they want to stay fit and healthy as they age. Read on to find out more!

Aging and women’s health

As we age, our bodies go through changes that can impact our health and fitness. For women, these changes can be particularly pronounced due to hormonal shifts that occur during menopause. But getting older doesn’t have to mean feeling bad – there are plenty of things we can do to stay healthy as we age. Here are four most important tips that can help you achieve your optimum health in your 30s and can help you age beautifully.

Tip #1 – Establish healthy eating habits

As you age, it’s important to pay attention to your diet and make sure you are eating healthy foods that will help keep you fit and active. Here are some tips for doing just that:

Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables: Fruits and vegetables are packed with nutrients that are essential for good health, so make sure to include them in your diet every day.

Choose healthy protein sources: Lean meats, fish, and tofu are all great options that will help keep you feeling full and satisfied.

Limit processed foods and sugary drinks: These foods can offer little nutritional value and can lead to weight gain, so it’s best to limit them as much as possible.

Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is crucial for maintaining good health, so make sure to drink at least 8 glasses a day.

Take help from Herbal supplements: If you are looking for a natural and effective way to improve your bone health, then you should consider taking Fytika Strong Bones tablets. These tablets are a natural source of calcium and vitamin D3, which can help to increase bone density and promote stronger bones. Additionally, the magnesium and zinc in these tablets can help to cure diseases caused by vitamin D3 and calcium deficiencies. Furthermore, the probiotics in Fytika Vita 365 can support gut health and improve digestion. Lastly, if you are not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids from your diet, then you should take Fytika Omega 1000 supplements to ensure that you are getting enough of these important nutrients.

By following these tips, you can make sure you’re getting the nutrients you need to stay fit and healthy as you age!

Tip #2 – Create a workout routine

If you want to stay fit and healthy in your 50s, it’s important to create (and stick to) a workout routine. This doesn’t mean that you have to spend hours at the gym every day – but you should make sure to get some form of exercise most days of the week.

A good workout routine for women in their 50s should include both aerobic exercise and strength training. Aerobic exercise is any type of activity that gets your heart rate up and boosts your breathing – think walking, running, biking, or swimming. Strength training helps to improve bone density and muscle mass, which can help reduce the risk of injuries as you age.

It’s also important to focus on healthy eating habits as you age. Eating foods that are high in fiber, protein, and healthy fats can help boost energy levels and promote a healthy weight. And be sure to stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of water throughout the day will help keep your skin looking young and radiant.

Tip #3 – Get enough restful sleep

It’s no secret that a good night’s sleep is important for overall health, but as we age, it becomes even more essential. Poor sleep can lead to a host of health problems, including weight gain, memory problems, and depression.

Tip #4 – Don’t neglect mental wellness

As you age, it’s important to pay attention to your mental health as well as your physical health. Stress, anxiety, and depression can all take a toll on your body and mind. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or down, reach out to a friend or family member, or see a therapist. Taking care of your mental health will help you stay fit and healthy as you age.

Conclusion: Keep working towards optimal health

As women age, it’s important to remain proactive about their health and fitness. Although some degree of physical decline is inevitable, there are plenty of things that women can do to stay in good shape as they age. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and adequate sleep are all key ingredients for maintaining optimal health as you age. Additionally, it’s important to stay mentally active and engaged in order to keep your mind sharp. There are a number of ways to do this, such as learning new hobbies, reading regularly, or spending time with friends and family. By following these tips, women can stay fit and healthy well into their golden years.

From Hot Flashes to Mood Swings: 34 Symptoms of Menopause Explained

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life that marks the end of her reproductive years. However, this transition can bring a variety of physical, mental, and emotional changes that vary in intensity from person to person. Understanding the symptoms of menopause can help you navigate this life stage with more ease and confidence. Here, we break down 34 symptoms of menopause to help you identify and manage them.

1. Hot Flashes Hot flashes are one of the most recognized symptoms of menopause. You may experience sudden waves of heat, often accompanied by sweating, that can last for a few seconds to several minutes.

2. Night Sweats Similar to hot flashes, night sweats occur while you're sleeping, causing you to wake up drenched in sweat. This can disturb your sleep and leave you feeling exhausted during the day.

3. Irregular Periods As your body transitions into menopause, your periods may become irregular. They could be lighter, heavier, or more sporadic, with longer or shorter cycles.

4. Vaginal Dryness Decreased estrogen levels can lead to thinning and dryness of the vaginal walls, which can cause discomfort, especially during intercourse.

5. Mood Swings Fluctuating hormone levels may result in mood swings, making you feel irritable, anxious, or even sad for no apparent reason.

6. Fatigue It's common to experience fatigue during menopause. The hormonal shifts can sap your energy, making it harder to get through the day without feeling drained.

7. Sleep Disturbances Sleep issues, such as insomnia or frequent waking, are common during menopause, often related to night sweats and anxiety.

8. Weight Gain As your metabolism slows down, you may notice an increase in body fat, especially around the abdomen. This is a common symptom of menopause and can be managed with lifestyle changes.

9. Thinning Hair Hormonal changes during menopause can lead to hair thinning or even hair loss, especially around the crown of the head.

10. Memory Lapses Some women experience "brain fog" or memory lapses during menopause. You may find it harder to concentrate or recall information.

11. Headaches Hormonal fluctuations can trigger headaches or make pre-existing migraines worse during menopause.

12. Joint Pain Menopause can bring about joint aches and stiffness, especially in the morning or after periods of inactivity.

13. Heart Palpitations Some women may notice an irregular heartbeat or heart palpitations during menopause, often due to changing estrogen levels.

14. Dizziness You may experience occasional bouts of dizziness or lightheadedness during menopause, which can be linked to hormonal changes.

15. Digestive Issues Bloating, indigestion, and changes in bowel habits are common as the digestive system reacts to hormonal shifts during menopause.

16. Dry Skin Lower estrogen levels can cause your skin to become drier, less elastic, and more prone to wrinkles.

17. Breast Tenderness Fluctuations in estrogen can lead to tenderness or swelling in the breasts, similar to what you may have experienced during your menstrual cycle.

18. Loss of Libido A decrease in sex drive is a common symptom of menopause due to hormonal changes and vaginal discomfort.

19. Urinary Incontinence Menopause can weaken the pelvic floor muscles, which may lead to stress incontinence, especially when laughing, coughing, or exercising.

20. Frequent Urination Along with urinary incontinence, some women experience an increased urge to urinate more frequently, even without drinking more liquids.

21. Anxiety Menopause can heighten anxiety levels, sometimes causing feelings of unease or panic.

22. Depression For some women, menopause can trigger depression or worsen existing mental health conditions due to hormonal imbalances.

23. Irritability It’s common to feel more easily irritated during menopause, as hormonal changes affect emotional regulation.

24. Osteoporosis Risk The decline in estrogen increases the risk of osteoporosis, where bones become fragile and more prone to fractures.

25. Muscle Aches Menopause can bring about unexplained muscle aches and soreness, which may affect your mobility and energy levels.

26. Burning Mouth Syndrome Some women experience a burning sensation in their mouth or on their tongue, which may be linked to menopause.

27. Gum Problems Hormonal changes can also lead to dry mouth and gum issues, such as inflammation or bleeding.

28. Body Odor Changes Hormonal fluctuations can alter your body odor, making you more sensitive to certain smells or causing stronger body odor.

29. Cold Flashes While hot flashes are common, some women also experience cold flashes, feeling suddenly chilled.

30. Tingling Sensations You may experience tingling sensations, particularly in your hands, feet, or limbs, due to nerve changes during menopause.

31. Changes in Taste Menopause may alter your sense of taste, making certain foods taste different or less appealing.

32. Lack of Motivation You might notice a drop in motivation or interest in activities you once enjoyed, which could be linked to hormonal changes.

33. Allergies Menopause can sometimes trigger new allergies or worsen existing ones due to changes in the immune system.

34. Changes in Menstrual Cycle Symptoms You might experience symptoms similar to PMS during menopause, such as cramping, bloating, or mood swings, even without a regular period.

Embracing the Menopause Journey

While menopause can bring a variety of symptoms, it’s important to remember that it’s a natural stage of life. Recognizing these symptoms and understanding how they affect you can empower you to take control of your health and well-being during this transition. Speak with your healthcare provider about managing your symptoms and explore natural or medical remedies that may be right for you.

Managing Stress and Enhancing Mood with Feminine Health Support

Any type of discomfort in our life is always a part of life that we cannot avoid, however, for ladies, it can disturb their hormone levels, emotions, and health. The need to keep a balance between work life, family and individual obligations can negatively affect mental state and physical health. Many women are now seeking relief from this tension in the form of female health supplements that are natural products meant to deal with stress and lift moods. At Ketavs Morning Kick we are aware that the appropriate choice of ingredients in feminine health supplements can help sustain women even during the hardest moments.

Understanding the Impact of Stress on Women’s Health

Stress is not the same in men and women. This is because of the female hormones that fluctuate during menstruation, pregnancy and menopause among others. These hormonal changes may put them more at risk to stress and emotional upheaval. The result could include fatigue, mood swings, anxiety as well as gain in weight due to high levels of cortisol- the body’s stress hormone during chronic cases when there is too much pressure on an individual.

Thus effective management of stress is essential not only for mental health but also for general wellbeing.

How Feminine Health Supplements Help Manage Stress

Our feminine health support supplement works together to manage stress and improve your mood. This health supplement is specially designed for women, targeting hormonal and physiological needs that affect emotional balance. Here are some of the key ingredients found in these products and how they prevent stress:

Adaptogens :- Adaptogens like ashwagandha and Rhodiola are well known for their ability to help bodies adapt to stress and provide mood enhancement. These natural herbs reduce cortisol levels and promote calmness. Moreover, by controlling cortisol levels, adaptogens can prevent fatigue and mood swings resulting from prolonged chronic stress.

Magnesium :- Magnesium is a vital element for controlling the nervous system and coping with stress. Many women lack magnesium deficiency, which can help worsen symptoms associated with stress. Using our health supplements rich in magnesium ensures you get enough quantities of this vital mineral to aid in achieving stress relief and mental wellness.

B-Vitamins :- B vitamins, specifically B6, B9 (folate), and B12 are very important for energy production as well as mood regulation. These vitamins facilitate the process through which food is converted into energy by the body to support the nervous system during times of stress.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids :- Omega-3 fatty acids are vital for brain health and emotional stability. They assist in cognitive functions and lower inflammatory processes that are commonly associated with stress as well as depression. Omega-3s are also known for promoting mental clarity and focus that can be hard to maintain during stressful situations.

Probiotics :- The emotional well-being of a person is closely related to their gut health. This means that when there is an imbalance in the gut microbiome, it can lead to mood disorders such as anxiety or depression. Probiotics in feminine health supplements help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria which helps improve digestive tract health and by extension emotional stability.

Enhancing Mood with Feminine Health Support

In addition to managing stress, our women’s health supplement online can also improve mood. Amino acids, vitamins and minerals are associated with production of feel-good chemicals in the body. They also have common names as ‘happy compounds’. Most items that help tackle stress can also deal with mood problems since they facilitate hormonal regulation as well as neurotransmission normality.

Conclusion

An essential aspect of life is that stress is always there. However, your emotional health does not have to suffer from it forever, if you get the right assistance. The best way for women to keep their balance during difficult times is by using feminine health supplements, which are a natural, efficient way of dealing with stress and improving mood. For those ladies who want a way of supporting their emotions in a natural manner, buy Feminine Health Support supplement by Ketav’s Morning Kick which will help you learn about how nutrients can help in managing stress and having a good attitude.

Unveiling the Culprits What Causes Back Pain in Females

Best back pain treatment in Baner

Back pain is a prevalent ailment that affects people across all demographics, but it’s a widespread complaint among females. Whether it’s a dull ache or a sharp, stabbing sensation, back pain can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life. Understanding the underlying causes is important for effective management and prevention. This comprehensive exploration delves into the multifaceted factors contributing to back pain in females. Best back pain treatment in Baner

Anatomy of the Female Back: Before dissecting the causes of back pain in females, it’s essential to understand the intricate anatomy of the female back. The spine, comprised of vertebrae, discs, nerves, and muscles, serves as the backbone of the body’s structure. Unique factors such as pregnancy, hormonal fluctuations, and biomechanical differences distinguish the female back from its male counterpart, predisposing women to specific types of back pain.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Strain: Pregnancy, a miraculous journey, often brings along a myriad of physical changes, including weight gain, altered posture, and hormonal fluctuations. These factors can exert immense strain on the back, leading to pregnancy-related back pain. The growing uterus shifts the center of gravity forward, causing the curvature of the spine to increase, thereby stressing the lower back. Additionally, hormonal changes during pregnancy loosen ligaments and joints, further exacerbating the vulnerability to back pain. Best back pain treatment in Baner

Even after childbirth, the demands on a woman’s back persist during the postpartum period. Lifting and carrying a newborn, breastfeeding, and inadequate rest can prolong back discomfort. Postpartum exercises focusing on core strengthening and proper lifting techniques are vital for alleviating and preventing back pain in new mothers.

Hormonal Influences: Hormonal fluctuations throughout a woman’s life can influence back health. Estrogen, progesterone, and relaxin, hormones essential for reproductive functions, also impact ligament laxity and muscle tone. During menstruation, fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels may lead to water retention and bloating, exacerbating premenstrual back pain. Best back pain treatment in Baner

Furthermore, hormonal changes associated with menopause can contribute to back pain. A decrease in estrogen levels can lead to reduced bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and vertebral compression fractures. Hormone replacement therapy and regular weight-bearing exercises are recommended to mitigate these effects.

Musculoskeletal Imbalances: Musculoskeletal imbalances, such as weak core muscles and tight hip flexors, are common contributors to back pain in females. Sedentary lifestyles, prolonged sitting, and improper posture weaken the muscles supporting the spine, leading to instability and strain. Additionally, high-heeled shoes alter the natural alignment of the spine, increasing pressure on the lower back and predisposing women to chronic back pain.

Regular exercise routines incorporating strength training, flexibility exercises, and posture correction techniques are essential for restoring musculoskeletal balance and alleviating back pain. Best back pain treatment in Baner

Psychological Factors: The mind-body connection plays a significant role in females’ perception and management of back pain. Stress, anxiety, and depression can exacerbate muscle tension and amplify the perception of pain. Moreover, societal expectations and gender roles may influence the way women experience and express their back pain, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. Best back pain treatment in Baner

Mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and holistic approaches to pain management can help address the psychological aspects of back pain in females.

Conclusion: Back pain is a complex and multifactorial issue that affects females disproportionately due to unique anatomical, hormonal, and psychosocial factors. By understanding the underlying causes and implementing proactive strategies, women can take control of their back health and enhance their overall well-being. Empowering females with knowledge and resources is essential for combating back pain and promoting a life of vitality and resilience. Best back pain treatment in Baner
