Women experience a lot of pain throughout their lives. They get their first menstrual cramps at a young age. Their heart can get broken a couple more times. And bringing out a baby into the world can top these list of pain. But after all of these, there’s still one more series of pain that will come – menopausal pains.
Menopause comes into a woman’s life when she’s around 40 to 50. The exact age differs from every person. Though its arrival can be unexpected, the symptoms are pretty much the same to anyone.
Irregular Periods
Menstrual periods are meant to end when a woman reaches the age of 45 to 50. So during the perimenopause, there will be irregularities in the monthly cycle. There are shifts in the hormone levels of a woman at this time period. Because of this, the period comes irregularly.
It is not only the monthly visits that are irregular. The flow of blood also varies. There are months when it will be heavy and lasts longer. There will also be times when it is short and light. You may also start to skip periods.
Hot Flashes
Hot flashes are characterized by an intense sensation of heat. The heart beats rapidly during this time along with sweating. The face and neck will appear flushed when hot flashes are happening. And it does not end there. It tends to travel down the chest to the rest of the body.
Just like irregular periods, hot flashes vary from one person to another. It’s duration and intensity is also different every time.
Mood Swings
Women are prone to mood swings when they have their monthly visit alone. So imagine if it comes with hot flashes too. It is just right to be moody during the day. Perimenopause (and even before that) is when the hormones are experiencing rapid changes.
Night Sweats
Have you ever experienced waking up in the middle of the night for no apparent reason except that you are covered in sweat and feeling hot? Well, if it is summer then it may be just because of that. But if you are in your perimenopausal years, you are experiencing night sweats.
Night sweats are basically excessive sweating often caused by hot flashes while you are asleep.
Vaginal Dryness and Loss of Libido
If your vagina is dry and isn’t lubricating itself, trying sexual intercourse can be painful. Loss of sex drive comes after. Vaginal dryness is often caused by maturing age and menopause itself.
The vagina is a self-lubricating organ thanks to the prime levels of estrogen. But since estrogen levels change during perimenopausal period, the clear fluid ceases to form.
Vaginal dryness is extremely uncomfortable to deal with. It is a good thing that there are vaginal creams and serums like Rachaa, that can help out in these situations. They have the extract of Pueraria Mirifica, a powerful herb that improves the breasts and relieves most Menopausal Symptoms.
Body Changes
It is not just the insides of the body that are affected by the menopausal symptoms. The physical appearance changes over time as well. A woman’s body is prone to weight gain during perimenopause. Add up the mood swings and she can go stress eating to cope up with the menopausal symptoms.
Maybe it is because of old age, but the hair also gets thinner during this sensitive period of time. The skin also starts to show signs of drying.
The breast also loses its firmness and size. But there are breast enhancement creams that can be used to slow it down.
