Can a woman who has gone thru the menopause get pmt symptoms each month?

Jere

Like swollen breasts, bad temper, craving for chocolate, the usual things but most strange is the periiod pains. Help?

The menopause is considered the date of the last period but really we are talking about the perimenopause which is a number of years before the menopause and a number of years after the menopause. Fertility is said to have ended up to a year after the last period so the cycle continues but the levels of hormones are less and events, like ovulation and periods, are not necessarily triggered. This period of time varies with the individual but can take about ten years. During this time the ovary produces less oestrogen, but other cells take over that role, so the adrenal gland can produce some oestrogen and so do fat cells. Part of the reason many women lay down fat during this time in their life. The implication is that there is some hormonal imbalance and she probably need to think about her health and take a good yeast free multi vitamin mineral supplement and a good oil like Efamol's Efamarine. This should help with these conditions.

Oats are very good for helping to remove the excess oestrogen along with B vitamins. High oestrogen could trigger problems like endometriosis. Report Abuse

By definition if you have passed through the menopause there are no further cyclic changes.

People say that it is not possible. However my mum has gone through the menopause and she seems to get PMT symptoms every month. I'm not sure if you have heard about women's cycles synchronising when they spend a lot of time together or are really close. Well There are 4 girls in my household. Our cycles are all almost perfectly synchronised. At the same time as us each month my mum gets stomach cramps and gets very moody and hungry etc. So I believe it is possible and like those of us who actually still have our period there isn't much that can be done. I recommend pain killers, lots of chocolate, pampering yourself and watching TV with your feet up. LolGood luckx

Yes that's possible and this can even happen to women who have no wombs and ovaries anymore (my mom lol she hoped she wouldn get those symptoms anymore)
