Stages of Menopause Menopause -There are four Stages of menopause, these are
: Premenopause ,Perimenopause , Menopause , and Postmenopause .
Each
of these stages is characterized by their own set of symptoms and changes in
body. Each woman experiences each of these stages differently, and for
different lengths of time. Most of the guidelines for when symptoms will
manifest and how severe are just that: guidelines. Each woman is different and
will have a different experience with menopausal symptoms.
Premenopause
Premenopause is the stage of your life before
the menopause transition has begun. You should be experiencing no menopause
symptoms, fertile, and having regular menstrual cycles. This stage should last
at least until your late thirties.
Premenopausal - Premenopausal is a word used
in medical terms to describe the years that leads to the time when the woman is
not able to conceive again. This period is when the hormones of the
reproductive systems are reducing and no more constant and abundant as to when
the woman is fertile. Here, certain effects are seen due to the reduction or
withdrawal of hormones in the body system of the woman. These effects include
hot flash, night sweats and many more.
Perimenopause
This is the part of the transition when you
notice changes in your body and menopause symptoms will begin to reveal
themselves. Hot flashes, weight gain around the mid-section, and mood swings
are a few of the symptoms that will begin to manifest. Irregular periods are a
sign that your estrogen and progesterone levels are fluctuating and hormonal
balance becomes one of the key ways to relieve symptoms.
Menopause
You're considered menopausal when more than a
year has passed since your last period and you're no longer able to become
pregnant. Symptoms include, but are not limited to, thinning hair, weight gain,
loss of libido, depression, incontinence, brittle nails, burning tongue, and
itchy skin. If you experience abnormal hair growth or a lowered voice, ask your
doctor about testosterone imbalance.
Menopause
can
simply be said to be a moment in a woman’s life where her monthly flow of blood
(menstruation) ceases. This is when there will be no longer the fertilization
of ovarian eggs in the woman; as a result, a woman can never get pregnant
again. Menopause occurs in women in their mid-forties and mid-fifties.
Postmenopause
Unfortunately, postmenopause doesn't
necessarily guarantee your symptoms will vanish into thin air. Hormonal
imbalances may be a part of your life for a long while, as it can take a long
time for your body to fully adjust to its now hormone levels. S ome women in
their 70s report still suffering from symptoms . Alternatively, some women
never experience any at all.
