Bhubaneswar: The life of a woman begins right from the mother’s womb. Her future is decided even before her birth. The diet she intakes also play a very important part of her life and future. Woman faces different health issues at different age and stages of her life. The health problems vary as they age. When the menopause starts the problem is different and when the menopause stops the problem is different. The problem related to their gynecology never ends. It remains some way the other before their birth till the end of their life.
The life of a woman after her 50s-60s is very different than the earlier times. There are many changes in their body, and system. The process of menopause getting stopped grossly during this period of time is not a all of a sudden matter. This process is continued till 7-8 years. In the first two years are the ovaries produces less amount of eggs, which affects the stimulating hormones (FSH and LH) in the ovaries increases at a larger amount. Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Luteinising Hormone increases the ovaries start to produce more eggs. Because of the increasing number of eggs, the periods of the ladies come in shorter span of time instead of once in a month time.
All these symptoms starts to show before about seven years of the menopause getting stopped. This occurs to women in their early 40s. The general age of the menopause getting stopped is 50- 55. But in some cases it is seen to be premature at the age of 35-37. It can happen from the age of 35-50, but commonly the age limit is 50. The women who have some infection issues, smoking, etc their menopause stops and ovaries stoops to work comparatively early. Lifestyle surely plays a part but it has a genetic impact also.
Generally the women get scared that if their menopause stops whether they loose their hormones and become old soon. It is mostly seen now that the women get hysterectomy, the uterus is removed due to factors like over bleeding, fibroids, and other problems. So such women don’t get to know when they get their menopause. But it’s not the case that if the menopause stops, immediately the woman gets old and her hormones drop. The hormones still remain in their system.
When the menstrual cycle becomes short span, comes within 20-22 days it is the sign that the ovaries produces less number of eggs and the menopause is nearing. This starts before 6-7 years of the menopause. This process gradually continues as the span of getting periods gets long as the number of eggs reduces. Then when there is no eggs left in the ovaries the periods stops. During this process the women lose a heavy amount of blood due to regular bleeding. When there is a shortage of blood in the body they get infections. So there should be proper medication for the other problems in the woman’ s body like thyroid, fibroids, the functioning of the uterus is fine , whether there is any clot inside the uterus causing over bleeding etc. If such issues are addressed at right time the women will get a natural and easy menopause, without any excessive bleeding, pain during the cycle and so on.
It is not the case that only ovaries create estrogen, it is created even after the menopause. Our adrenal glands also create estrogen. Estrogen is a female hormone that keeps the skin, hair young. Because of this we don’t get wrinkles, the elasticity of the skin remain intact. Women don’t get prolapse, our collagen remains perfect. Blood pressure remains in control. Estrogen also creates fat tissues in our body. So this hormone helps to keep us young and beautiful.
There are something called phytoestrogens. There are certain foods that contain phytoestrogen such as all kinds of pulses, soya beans, cumin seeds, cardamoms, ginger, elephant foot yam, and so on. These kinds of foods should be incorporated in our diet to help our body get phytoestrogen. This can be a estrogen replacement therapy to keep the body and mind young.
Women usually get irritable, cry in trivial matters, get distressed psychologically due to menopause. These may occur due the shortage of estrogen in the body. Menopause is something that brings physical changes to a wan and there are social changes also that she has to face. The children older, get indulged in their lives, husband is occupied in his work , many a times she becomes lonely which is why may be she overthinks. Emotional, social and physical transformation becomes the key factors for the women of this age group get affected.
