Symptoms during menopause

A woman's biological processes such as menstruation, pregnancy or menopause are experienced quite differently. Hot flashes, poor sleep, symptoms of irritability or sadness can be mögliche signs of menopause. 

The hormonal changes that lead to menopause occur in every woman after a certain age, but do not necessarily cause discomfort. On average, one third of women do not experience any significant discomfort, one third is noticeably affected, and one third feels very burdened by the accompanying symptoms of hormonal turbulence in their daily lives. The complaints concern the time frame with emphasis between 45 and 55 years.

Estrogen withdrawal symptoms

The first signs of approaching menopause often begin years before the actual last bleeding. In perimenopause, the estrogen level gradually decreases.

The «withdrawal symptoms» from estrogen may include:

  • Hot flashes
  • sweating
  • poor sleep
  • nervousness
  • restlessness and mood swings
  • dryness of the vagina
  • Bladder swelling
  • Hair loss
  • Thinning of the skin
Hot flashes

Hot flushes are the most typical symptoms of menopause. To date, it has not been fully explained why women break out in a sweat. It is assumed that a change in the target value of temperature regulation in the diencephalon causes the body to strongly counteract even small internal and external temperature fluctuations. For example, when the temperature rises, the blood vessels in the skin dilate to release heat. Sweating serves to cool the body. If the cooling occurs, the counter-regulation with Frösteles sets in to produce again Wärme.
67% to 85% of menopausal women are affected by so-called vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes and sweating.
Hot flashes usually occur völlig überraschend, ie without apparent äusere cause. A hot flush can be described as a strong feeling of warmth that usually spreads from the neck to the chest in intervals and can be accompanied by sweating and a red complexion. The hot flushes last two to three minutes and usually merge seamlessly into a sweaty outburst. A hot flush is sometimes followed by a chill. The intervals between hot flashes vary, and they can occur again within a few minutes or even days. One thing is certain: they always come when you need them least.
Body weight, occupation or sleep duration have little influence on hot flashes, but coffee, hot spices and alcohol can promote hot flashes.
Even if hot flashes are natural, there are therapeutic alternatives that can positively influence the quality of life.

Sleep disorders

Sleep disturbances can be caused on the one hand by the menopausal changes in hormone balance. Messenger substances in the brain, which are important for controlling the sleep phase, are affected and as a result the sleep rhythm is disturbed. On the other hand, hot flushes can also lead to night sweats and make undisturbed sleep impossible. Furthermore, mood swings and nervousness can also have an influence.

Mood swings

Many women notice a change in their mood during menopause. As estrogen levels fall, the mood-lifting effect on the nervous system is lost. At the same time, certain messenger substances that are supposed to send information are no longer produced in sufficient quantities. The complex sequence in the central nervous system is affected and thus disturbs the mental balance. 

Restlessness, nervousness, irritability, general dissatisfaction or depressive moods can be possible symptoms. The intensity of mood swings varies from woman to woman. Some women only suffer from listlessness from time to time, while other women have to struggle a lot with their moods fluctuating violently. This change in behavior can have an impact on the partner relationship, the family and the workplace.

Vaginal dryness

Vaginal dryness refers to a dry vaginal vestibule and reduced lubrication during sexual arousal. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease. As a result, the production of vaginal fluid is reduced. The aging skin becomes thicker and more sensitive, blood circulation deteriorates, and the tissue loses its moisture and elasticity. During sexual intercourse, this leads to the fact that a burning or even more severe pain can occur.

.
The graphic shows how differently women perceive the symptoms of menopause. They divide into 3 roughly equal proportions: One-third feel no noticeable adverse effects. Another third feel noticeably affected by the symptoms. The last third feels strongly burdened by the accompanying symptoms of hormone turbulence in their usual everyday life.

Hormone Replacement Therapy – Hormones in Menopause

Hormone replacement therapy artificially compensates for the hormone deficiency that occurs during menopause. Hormone therapy consists of estrogens and yellow body hormones, which can be used alternately, together or in varying strengths, depending on the menopausal phase.

Studies in recent years have shown various risks in addition to the benefits of hormone replacement therapy. The WHI (Women Health Initiative) study, which included more than 25‘000 women, examined, among other things, the effect of hormone therapy during menopause on breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and other cancers. The study had to be stopped early because of an increase in breast cancer morbidity rates, an increase in stroke, thrombosis, heart disease and pulmonary embolism.

International professional organizations recommend that the need to take hormones should be reviewed regularly and that hormone therapy should not be started after the age of 60.

Before starting hormone replacement therapy, a comprehensive gynecological examination by a gynecologist and detailed counseling are necessary, because all forms of application entail advantages and disadvantages. Depending on your personal medical history, symptoms and lifestyle, the form of application should be selected individually for you and with you.


Not possible for any length of time

No hormone therapy should be started more than 10 years after menopause or after the age of 60.


No Lifestlye Therapy

Hormones are used for severe symptoms that significantly reduce quality of life and are not a lifestyle therapy


Must be individually matched

Each hormone therapy should be individually selected in terms of form, dosage, and duration of use, and discussed in terms of benefits and possible risks

Lifestyle during menopause

A healthy lifestyle is recommended at all stages of life, and in the case of complaints such as sleep disturbances, it may be worthwhile to correct unhealthy habits (lack of exercise, unhealthy diet, too much alcohol, nicotine, unhealthy sleeping habits). On life expectancy and general health and fitness, a balanced lifestyle has an indisputably beneficial effect.

However, hormonal changes take place even with a healthy lifestyle. The important thing is that every woman can find her own way to a new balance.

Tips

The most important success factor is to do something yourself for your own health. Here are some tips for everyday life and nutrition

Tips for everyday life in menopause

Hot flashes and sweating in combination with mood swings are the complaints that are very much in the foreground for women in menopause. A healthy lifestyle, relaxation, exercise and a balanced diet can increase the well-being during menopause.

Here are some tips für everyday life, which can help you können to come more easily through menopause.

Exercise and sport

After the age of 50, the daily energy turnover decreases by about a quarter. This is due to the fact that muscle mass shrinks by about one percent every year. Those who do not adapt their dietary habits to this natural change during this time or ensure higher energy consumption through exercise risk gaining weight.

Exercise is good for the figure and the mood. Regular endurance sports such as walking, Nordic walking, cycling, hiking and swimming can improve metabolic and blood fat levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Aerobic or gymnastic exercises can stop bone loss and possibly even restart the formation of new bone. This is important because osteoporosis usually develops after menopause.
 

Movement fördert the well-being  - note the following two rules of thumb:

.
  • Regular: Move thirty minutes a day or four times a week 45 minutes.
  • It should be fun: Do what you enjoy. The important thing is that you re comfortable and enjoy doing it.
Temperature stimuli train through hot-cold showers
.
Strengthening the defense system through sauna sessions

Saunagänge train the body to plötzliche temperature changes. This change in temperature not only strengthens the circulation, but also the entire defense system. Among other things, this can have a positive effect on hot flashes. A wöchentlicher visit of six to zwölf minutes is völlig sufficient.

Clothes: Stick to the onion principle

One thing is certain: hot flashes always come when you least need them. Therefore, wear clothes made of natural fibers or functional clothing that can transport sweat to the outside. With the onion look, you can put on or take off individual pieces of clothing. Remember to bring a change of clothes, a towel and deodorant to freshen up on the go. Make sure the nightwear is breathable and the bedding does not give off too much heat.

Create a good sleeping climate

Create a good sleeping environment in a darkened, freshly gelüfled and quiet room. Try to go to bed at the same time every day and get up at the same time in the morning. Make sure you wind down an hour before bedtime by taking time to read, listen to music, or take a relaxing bath, for example.

Deal openly with hot flashes

Don't try to hide sweaty outbursts, because the stress of not wanting anyone to notice can stimulate adrenaline release and make hot flashes worse.

Recognize and specifically avoid stress factors

Find out which situations you react to in a stressed way. If you know your stressors, you can try to avoid them specifically. Some possible advice:

  • Concentrate on one thing, multitasking can be stressful.
  • Try to create a structured daily schedule with priority list. Plan enough time between appointments and also keep a window open for the unexpected. Also think of yourself and take time for relaxation and leisure.
  • Lärm can be a möglicher stress factor. Do not leave the radio and television on just like that.
Skin care for visually smoother skin

You never get a second chance, to make the first impression. To make you feel so fit on the outside, note that a well-moisturized skin looks visually smoother. Regularly applying a moisturizing skin care cream from head to toe can be an important point.

Tips for the diet in the menopause

After the age of 50, the daily energy turnover decreases by about a quarter. This is due to the fact that muscle mass shrinks by about one percent every year. Thus, a 50-year-old woman needs about 400 fewer calories per day than a 25-year-old. So if you don't adjust your eating habits to the lower basal metabolic rate or increase your energy consumption through exercise during this time, you risk gaining weight.
Although the body needs less energy with increasing age, the need for nutrients increases at the same time, because these can often no longer be absorbed so well by the body. Foods with a low energy but high nutrient content are therefore particularly suitable. These include foods such as vegetables, salads, legumes, fruit, potatoes, whole grains, low-fat dairy products and lean meat. It is best if every meal contains protein (dairy products, Hülsenfrüchte, meat, poultry, fish), little fat (vegetable Öl) and a carbohydrate source with low blood sugar effectiveness (wholemeal bread, brown rice, wholemeal pasta).

Varied and full

A healthy lifestyle also includes a varied, healthy and wholesome diet. Regular meals ensure the maintenance of performance. Do not eat too much, because the choice and the combination are more important than the quantity.

.
Whole grain

Take several times a day whole grains or / and potatoes to eat, because whole grains provide valuable vitamins as well as fiber, which stimulates digestion.

.
Fruit and vegetables

It is recommended to eat five fruits and vegetables per day, raw or steamed. You can, for example, use vegetables as the main component of a meal, because this way you get important nutrients and can eat your fill in a low-calorie way.

Milk and dairy products

With menopause, the protective effect of estrogens, which until now have promoted the buildup, fades. Calcium is an important building material for bone tissue. In small portions, the body can absorb calcium particularly well, so calcium-rich snacks such as a yogurt or a few nuts are ideal.

Once a week fish

Fatty fish species such as herring or salmon provide important omega-3 fattyäuren.

Sausage, bacon, sweets

Enjoy cured meats, bacon, and high-fat sweets only in small amounts.

Fatty and fatty foods

It is healthier to replace sausage, meat, bacon, cheese or butter with lean varieties and vegetable fats. Use high-quality olive,- rapeseed or sunfloweröl, this will benefit your cholesterol levels.

Liquid

Water is essential, make sure you consume 1.5 to 2 liters of low-calorie liquid (water, herbal or fresh tea without sugar) üspread throughout the day.

.
Coffee and alcohol

Caffeine and alcohol (as well as nicotine) can lower the estrogen level and thus irritate the temperature regulator. Those who have hot flashes should reduce alcohol to one glass or coffee to one cup per day and, if possible, avoid smoking at all. Spicy foods can be an outlet for hot flashes. Therefore, spicy spices are not recommended during menopause.

Take your time when eating

Consciously take enough time to eat. Make sure you have a light evening meal at least two to three hours before bedtime.

Why acupuncture during menopause?

A branch of traditional Chinese medicine is acupuncture. It is based on the concept of meridians, pathways in the body in which the life energy Qi circulates. By placing fine acupuncture needles in the right places, disturbances in the energy flow can be corrected. Chinese medicine sees another aspect as the cause of menopausal symptoms. From their point of view, the vital energy of the kidneys is disturbed, a deficiency of kidney qi, which also weakens the ovaries and the uterus. By stabilizing the affected Qi with needling the appropriate points on the meridians, the vitality of the kidneys, ovaries and uterus is strengthened. The disharmony in these organs dissolves.

Bach Flowers
Bach flowers were discovered about 90 years ago by the renowned British physician and bacteriologist Dr. Edward Bach. Dissatisfied with his work, which was more about the diseases themselves than about the people who suffered from them, he devoted himself to homöopathic methods of treatment. Bach realized that he could activate the natural self-healing powers in the bodies of his patients by acting directly on people's emotions and individual personalities.
