Menopause

Loboc river... on Bohol Island... Philipine.

* anemia * vaginal dryness * trauma (rape, failing relationship, etc.) * aftereffect after giving birth * stress * diabetes * hormonal imbalance * drug dependency * binge drinking and alcoholism

of course not! my guess would be yes

intolerance to heat increases with age and can be worse with certain medications. In My case intolerance to heat was worse at night. But later on sweats started when temperature fluctuated from cold to hot-like going into a warm store after being out in the cold. After menapause can not tolerate extreme temperatures. Funny how old people move to Florida. I can not understand that since I would have to be inside all summer. Maybe when you are real old you do not feel any heat or cold. I am 62, not 80. Also I had a aunt who never had kids and never had any sign of hot flashes, but also had only two or three days of a period with no hormone reaction. So was my grandmother who had 5 kids. My mother had hot flashes well into 70's but also had an overactive thyroid. Also calcium blockers like Norvasc for blood pressure makes hot flashes worse and probably makes it last longer. I had menapause at 57 and still at 62 still having sweats at night a few days each month. I guess my body is still trying to make estrogen. However, I can now wear warm clothes in the winter. People thing being constantly warm in the winter is a good thing. However during hot flashes, you are not warm. You know you are having warmth after your body starts to sweat and than you are wet and cold. So actually you are cold and wet most of the time. Not good in the winter. Your body can not regulate. More like when you are cold and shaking when your temperature is going up from a fever or when you sweat from a fever breaking, not like when you are warm from a fever.

Absolutely! specially Joint pain, the lining of the joints is fed by testosterone, once menopause starts the estrogen & testosterone plummets & the joints get dried out & the pain & stiffness starts.

Low libido, memory loss, foggy thinking, dry skin, vaginal dryness, dry skin, hair loss, anxiety, grumpy, moody those and a dozen more are all symptoms of menopause.

Cockroaches cannot "survive a nuclear blast." That is absurd. There is a truth behind the idea, though, which is that insects like cockroaches will probably continue to thrive on Earth after politics and our insatiable, filthy economy have made the place uninhabitable for humans.

Unfortunately, what is meant by this whole idea is the fact that genes in cockroaches are actually divide at a much slower rate. This allows for any mutations to be corrected within a reasonable timeframe before this replication continues. The fact is that although cockroaches are more resistant to radiation poisoning, out of bugs in general, the cockroach would be most likely one of the first to go.

Gross!

Woman experiences some anxiety during and after menopause due to the important physical and life changes that take place. Anxiety can be obvious like phobias, pounding heart, insomnia, high blood pressure, and overeating or loss of appetite. However, people are not aware of it and may express it convertly, such as by picking quarrels, heightened irritability etc...

I am a fairly new CPC but see this all the time as a diagnosis used by my doctors. I am not 100% positive but I would use 627.2 which states "Symptomatic menopause. Symptoms associated with menopause (such as flushing, headache, etc)." For the doctor to say that the pt is pre-menoupausal, she must be presenting some of the symptoms and be in the age range; therefore, is appropriate.

This will vary for each woman. Some will experience a long delay in return to their normal cycle, but most women who were regular pre-pill can expect normalcy to resume within about 3 months. Some women notice symptoms like headaches, mood swings, more blemishes and increased PMS (cramps, bloating, etc.) post-pill. Others who have had troubling symptoms on the pill will start feeling better soon after getting off of the pill. On the plus side, many women have reported feeling increased libido, feeling more "clear-headed" and even some weight loss after going off of the pill. Essentially, womens bodies, hormones, etc. are different therefore people can have very different experiences - just like the variety of experiences of being on the pill. Give it some time to get back to your normal cycle and if you do not return to your normal cycle after about 3 months (assuming you were regular before the pill), it may be a good idea to discuss this with your doctor.

Hormone surges.

If you have already gone thru puberty, no.

Well I have had my Marina since May 2004 and I am 15 kgs heavier....biggest i have ever been - even when I was pregnant!!

These sound like diabetes or underactive thyroid symptoms. Consult a medical professional :) caryhoneybee

It does seem highly likely that you have reached menopause a little early.

typically the period lifetime is 35 years so yes it can have a baring on early onset.

* There is no law stating that any one is 'too old' to conceive, but there are serious health risks if and elderly person chooses to get pregnant and if this is the case then you should talk to your doctor and ask him to explain the risks to you. * There is no definite limit, but usually women start menopause around 40-47 and from the time that they start menopause, they will quickly become less fertile, meaning that it will be less likely for them to get pregnant and if they do there is a higher risk of the child having down's syndrome or other birth defects. For the men, age doesn't effect fertility, although it may decrease libido (sex drive) and sperm count.

Yes, it is one of the symptoms of menopause and is caused by hormonal changes. I had them as well and there is nothing to worry about. I would talk to your doctor about them (some women can have Mitral Valve Prolapse) and it's best to have it checked out, but most women are just fine. Just breath through them and stay calm and they will go away. Caffeine, alcohol and even chocolate can bring them on (stimulants.) If you see your doctor they will probably send you for a heart test (I went for one) and it's mainly to put your mind at ease.

You may also have a thyroid problem. Please check with your doctor to rule this out. Menopausal symptoms and thyroid symptoms can be similar. so its best to make sure your thyroid is working correctly.

One statement about menopause that is false is that it cannot happen to a woman in her 40s.

Artemis's fears were that her parents would make her marry a guy and then have children

No; a woman is born with thousands of ova, or eggs. Beginning at menarche (about age 13, although this is more a factor of mass than age), a woman's body will release one egg per menstrual cycle, until menopause. That's normally one per month, from age 13 or so through age 50. She has plenty.
