Menopause brings many changes and can cause symptoms related to the lack of estrogen.
Changes in menstruation
The characteristics of menstruation in women who are entering menopause are different. In some cases, menstruation may be absent and disappear completely, while in some cases, it will gradually become less and stop, which is considered normal. However, whenever bleeding lasts longer (more than 7 days) or is irregular, the cause must be thoroughly investigated and cancer must be considered first, until it is certain that it is not menopause. Some people often misunderstand that these symptoms are normal for women in this age group, so they neglect to do so without undergoing a thorough examination or taking medicine, health supplements, or certain herbs to excrete or eliminate waste from the body, which leads to complications such as abnormal bleeding or pain in the lower abdomen. By the time they see a doctor, the symptoms have already worsened.
Hot flashes and night sweats
are changes in the autonomic nervous system that include hot flashes, which usually radiate from the chest up to the neck and face. They are often accompanied by sweating and chills. These symptoms can interfere with daily life and, if they occur at night, may interfere with sleep.
Irritability
Estrogen deficiency affects mood and mind. It can cause irritability, mood swings, lack of concentration, headaches, fatigue, and depression.
Vaginal dryness
affects the reproductive organs in women. Symptoms found are vaginal dryness. Lack of estrogen hormone causes the tissue and muscles around the urethra and bladder to atrophy and sag. There is a burning pain during urination, frequent urination, urine leakage when coughing, sneezing or laughing. It also makes it easier to get a bladder infection.
Osteoporosis is fragile. Normally, the body will create new bone and break down old bone all the time. In children and teenagers, bone formation occurs more than bone breakdown. From a study in Thailand, it was found that the bone tissue density of Thai women will be highest at the age of 30-34 years. Bone density will slowly decrease by about 0.3-0.5 percent per year after the age of 35 years. Because this type of bone breakdown will last for about 5-10 years, the bones may become thin and osteoporosis may occur at this age. If there is no prevention, it may cause a bone fracture even from a minor injury. Women with osteoporosis generally do not show any symptoms. It will appear when a bone fracture occurs. Osteoporosis is therefore considered a silent danger for menopausal women.
