Menopause Checklist: Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms
The symptoms of menopause are caused by a decline in sex hormones. In women, the onset of menopause triggers a rapid reduction in sex hormones level, resulting in more pronounced physical and emotional changes, compared to males. The menopausal transition often raises concerns for many individuals.
If you are aged 40 or older, pay attention to whether you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Vaginal dryness and Decreased sexual drive: This occurs due to hormonal shifts affecting lubrication in the vaginal area, potentially leading to discomfort, burning, or itching.
- Insomnia and Night sweats: because of discomfort and anxiety, disrupting sleep quality.
- Reduced Skin firmness and Delayed healing process: Menopause leads to diminished collagen production in the body, which can result in looser skin.
- Easily gaining weight: Gaining weight becomes easier, and losing weight becomes more challenging because the metabolic processes decrease, making it easier for fat to accumulate in various parts of the body.
- Mood Swings, with difficulties in controlling the emotions. Some individuals may experience symptoms of depression or anxiety.
- Hot Flashes: A common symptom, often felt as sudden warmth in the face, neck, and chest, sometimes together with sweating.
If these symptoms are affecting your quality of life, it is advisable to consult with a specialist immediately for evaluation and a tailored treatment plan. Delaying treatment can have increasingly negative effects on both your physical health and emotional well-being.
