Just like menstruation, menopause is a normal period of every woman's life. Occurs when estrogen levels begin to decline with age. However, if you are experiencing symptoms that are difficult to cope with it is important to contact a gynecologist.
This period is associated with many myths and untruths that often confuse and disturb you unnecessarily. What we are talking about specifically, you learn in the following.
# 1. "If you have fever, memory problems or weight gain, your menopause has begun."
It is not meant to be. In fact, frequent hot flashes or other unpleasant symptoms like these usually start much earlier than menopause, in perimenopause. That said, you should know that menopause does not cause weight gain or memory problems.
# 2. "Menopause always starts as soon as you get into your 50s."
You may be in menopause even if you are in your 30s. It depends on the genetics, the medication you may be taking, the substances you consume, and so on and so forth. Although on average she starts in her 50s, some women experience it even in their 40s.
# 3. "During menopause you no longer have colic."
Before you officially enter menopause, you may have lower abdominal pain even if you are not menstruating. The muscles and walls of the uterus can be compressed and cause irritation, but by keeping something warm the pain can be reduced. If the latter becomes unbearable, it is best to go to the doctor.
# 4. "You can not get pregnant if you are on the verge of menopause."
It is true that with age, the chances of getting pregnant gradually decrease. However, women still ovulate before menopause, even if they have not had periods for a while.
# 5. "If you do not have periods for some time, your menopause has begun."
Duhet një vit i plotë pa perioda për të qenë të sigurtë se periudha e menopauzës ka nisur. Prandaj prisni. Nëse gjatë 12 muajve, keni qenë me perioda për disa muaj, por jo shumicën e kohës, s'mund ta thoni me siguri që keni hyrë në menopauzë."
#6. "Simptomat e saj zgjasin përgjithmonë."
Kur arrini në fazën e menopauzës, nivelet e estrogjenit ulen dhe kur kjo ndodh trupit i duhet kohë për t'u mësuar me ndryshimin. Simptomat qëndrojnë gjatë, por sigurisht që jo përgjithmonë. Zakonisht zgjasin nga 4 vite e gjysmë pas ikjes së periodave, deri në 7 vite maksimalisht. Sidoqoftë, çdo njeri është ndryshe dhe për disa zgjat më shumë, e për të tjerë më pak.
#7. "Menopauza shkakton depresion."
There is a big difference between clinical depression and mood swings that come as a result of menopause. Depression is a type of mental disorder that needs treatment, while mood swings or sad feelings are more manageable. If you continue for a long time returning to your permanent state, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
# 8. "It's too late to stay healthy after the menopause phase."
It is always important to stay healthy, regardless of age. Get plenty of vitamin D and calcium, quit smoking, alcohol and do sports. Make sure you also take priority care of your mental health.
