All You Need To Know About Pre Menopause Symptoms

Menopause is a phase in every woman's life that cannot be avoided. Women are likely to experience

menopause symptoms in their late 40s until early 50s. A woman is said to be in this phase when she stops having her monthly menstrual cycles. In addition to that, women will also lose their ability to conceive. Thus, we can say that when women are experiencing this condition, they can't have children anymore. Usually women will experience pre menopause symptoms which indicate that they are about to enter their menopause stage. This article will tell you anything you need to know about this phase so that you will be able to treat it properly when the time comes.

The pre menopause phase is usually indicated by irregular monthly periods. The monthly periods can either be longer or even shorter than usual. It is said that the blood spots will start to occur in women at their 40s and it can be one of the most reliable signs that she will have her menopause soon. Other symptoms include exhaustion and emotional imbalance. Women entering this phase will easily feel tired or anxious even when they are not doing anything. These symptoms are believed to be caused by the decline in the production of the female sex hormones. Both estrogen and progesterone will not be produced as much as before and it causes her physical and emotional condition to change drastically. These changes can lead to the feeling of uneasiness and fear. To the worst extent, it can lead to stress and even insomnia. The decline in estrogen and progesterone can also trigger osteoporosis or vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness can be a bit frustrating as a woman's sex drive will be drastically reduced and she might not be able to enjoy intercourse anymore.

But not to worry, pre menopause symptoms can be treated, and you can start by living a healthier lifestyle. It is true that once can't avoid menopause. But by introducing healthier foods into your diet, at least the symptoms will not be as unpleasant and frustrating. Women approaching this stage are also advised to exercise regularly. It is believed that by doing regular exercise, blood circulation will be improved and it will help curb that stress that can be caused by the decline in sex hormones. If things do not get any better, you can consult a specialist doctor immediately and get the proper medication to treat your symptoms.
