What Causes Menopause?
All women, however, undergo the same basic hormonal changes during menopause. A woman’s ovaries produce three types of hormones - oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone. These hormones play a vital role in menstruation, ovulation and pregnancy. During the peri-menopause, the ovaries gradually stop producing these hormones, although a form of oestrogen is still produced by the adrenal glands and fat cells in small amounts. This process is usually slow and may take several years.
What Are Menopause Symptoms?
Hot flushes and night sweats. Hot flushes are characterised by feelings of heat that spread to the chest, neck, face or even the whole body and may be accompanied by sweating, nausea, heart palpitations, and flushed skin. When hot flushes occur at night they are referred to as night sweats. Hot flushes and night sweats can be aggravated by stress, anxiety, alcohol, hot food and drinks, spicy foods, overdressing and a hot environment. Hot flushes and night sweats are thought to be caused by hormonal changes occurring at menopause.
Menstrual irregularities - Many women in the peri-menopause find that their menstrual cycle and/or flow changes. Some women will experience very irregular periods, stopping and starting with no apparent pattern. It is also common for women to get heavier, lighter or longer periods at this time. Women experiencing irregularities may wish to consult their doctor in order to ensure the irregularities are menopause related.
Sleep disturbances - These are generally caused by night sweats with women often finding they are constantly adjusting their bedclothes to suit their body temperature. They may also have to get up and change their clothing or bedclothes following a night sweat. All of these interruptions can leave a woman feeling fatigued the next day.
There are supplements available that contain a combination of herbs and nutrients to help balance the effects of the changes happening within your body during the menopausal transition period.
To be most effective, nutritional supplements work better in combination. It may be more beneficial to take a variety of Herbs or Nutrients for more rapid and complete healing...
