Menopause

Menopause was first recognized in ancient civilizations, where it was often viewed as a significant life transition. Historical texts from Greek and Roman times, such as those by Hippocrates and Galen, documented the cessation of menstruation and its associated symptoms. However, it wasn't until the 20th century that menopause was studied more scientifically, leading to a better understanding of its physiological changes and effects on women's health. This increased awareness paved the way for advancements in menopause management and health care.

Dicynone (ethamsylate) is commonly used to manage heavy bleeding by promoting blood clotting and stabilizing capillaries. While it can be effective for certain conditions, its suitability as the "best" option depends on the specific cause of the bleeding and individual patient factors. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and personalized treatment recommendations tailored to the individual's needs.

Yes, evening primrose oil and starflower oil can generally be taken together, as both are rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and are often used for similar health benefits, such as supporting skin health and hormonal balance. However, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before combining them, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications. They can provide personalized guidance based on your health needs.

The most common age for women to experience menopause is around 51 years old, although it can occur anywhere between the ages of 45 and 55. Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation for 12 consecutive months and is a natural part of aging. Factors such as genetics, health, and lifestyle can influence the timing of menopause for each individual.

Yes, if a woman has a hysterectomy that includes the removal of her ovaries (bilateral oophorectomy), she will experience menopause immediately, as her body will no longer produce the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This surgical menopause can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes. If only the uterus is removed and the ovaries are left intact, she may not experience menopause until the natural age of onset.

Yes, hot flashes can make you feel thirsty. During a hot flash, the body experiences a sudden increase in temperature, leading to sweating and fluid loss. This loss of fluids can trigger a sensation of thirst as the body seeks to rehydrate. Additionally, the discomfort of hot flashes may prompt individuals to seek relief through increased fluid intake.

During and after menopause, women experience hormonal changes, particularly a decline in estrogen levels. This hormonal shift can lead to an imbalance in androgens, the male hormones that are present in both men and women. As a result, some women may develop unwanted facial hair, including whiskers, due to increased androgen activity. Additionally, genetics and age can also play a role in this phenomenon.

Hypothyroidism is typically a chronic condition that often requires lifelong management, regardless of menopause. However, in some cases, especially if hypothyroidism is caused by temporary factors such as postpartum thyroiditis, it may resolve after menopause. It's essential for individuals to monitor their thyroid function with healthcare providers, as hormonal changes during menopause can influence thyroid hormone levels. Regular check-ups can help determine the appropriate course of action.

Yes, postmenopausal women can still emit pheromones, although the nature and intensity of these chemical signals may change due to hormonal shifts. Pheromones are not solely dependent on estrogen levels, and other factors like genetics and individual body chemistry also play a role. While the specific effects of pheromones may differ, the ability to produce them persists beyond menopause.

Oh, dude, if a man takes female menopause supplements, he's not gonna suddenly start craving chocolate and hot flashes. Those supplements are designed to help balance hormones during menopause, so a man might experience some hormonal changes, but nothing too drastic. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole - it might kinda work, but it's not gonna be a perfect fit.

Indeed, there is a gamble of creating malignant growth from bioidentical chemical substitution treatment (HRT). A few examinations have found that bioidentical HRT can expand the gamble of endometrial disease

Common signs of pregnancy include missed periods, nausea, breast tenderness, frequent urination, and fatigue. Menopause symptoms include irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes. A pregnancy test can confirm pregnancy, while a blood test or hormone levels can help determine if menopause is the cause. Consulting a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis is recommended.

That is called menopause. It is when the ovaries no longer release egg cells. A woman is born with all the follicles which turn into egg cells. Only a fraction actually become egg cells. The rest produce hormones and die as a part of that process. So once all the egg cells run out, a woman can no longer reproduce, and she may suffer other things such as hot flashes, night sweats, and irritability.

The pits in the skin from which hair grows are called hair follicles. Each hair follicle contains a hair shaft, root, and sebaceous glands that produce oil to keep the hair and skin moisturized.

Testing for double stranded DNA antibodies is useful in diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a autoimmune disease. Presence of these antibodies in the blood can indicate an increased risk for lupus nephritis or other organ involvement in patients with SLE. Testing for these antibodies can help in monitoring disease activity and guiding treatment decisions.

Another name for this is Ethylhexyl palmitate. It is an ester made by the reaction of 2-ethylhexanol and palmitic acid. I think it can be naturally derived from palm oil. It's formula is C24H48O2. It is used in many of your household products. It is used in many perfumes and fragranced products as a fixative for the fragrance. It is used in cosmetics as a solvent, carrying agent for active ingredients, wetting agent for wetting pigments, and emollient (adjuster of skin moisture and feel). You'll find it in most lipsticks, foundation creams, and in many lotions. It has a sorta dry oil feel, similar to some dimethicone blends.

Nitrogen fertilizer production converts nitrogen from the atmosphere into urea, a form of nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main macronutrient used by plants, i.e, the main component of fertilizers (the others are potassium and phosphorus). The atmosphere is 78% nitrogen. Google the nobel prize-winning Haber-Bosch process. The two scientists identified a method of using enormous amounts of heat and pressure to convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable to plants. And there's the source of your answer: the required heat and pressure is usually generated by natural gas, which gives off CO2 when combusted. Without the increased plant growth that the Haber-Bosch process enabled, the planet would probably be unable to support more than a couple billion fewer people than it does now. But good luck nailing that number down--estimates are all over the place, and for good reason. For example, without nitrogen fertilizer and with the food scarcities that scenario would create, would we be converting as much grain into livestock? Would we be burning it as fuel in our cars? Would we have better agriculture technology or better management if prices were higher? You get the picture. There is a small dark side to this. When overapplied, nitrogen fertilizer emits nitrous oxide, a powerful greenhouse gas, and pollutes surface and groundwater. Google the U.S. Gulf "dead zone".

No. Traits developed during a parents life time are acclamations to the immediate environment and are not heritable. Only mutations in the germ line, recombination in the germ line are heritable.

Hormone therapy for "converting" gay people is completely ineffective, unethical, and illegal in some states. Unscrupulous doctors will give estrogen treatments to a man, causing him to feel less like having sex. However, it is dangerous, ineffective and has side effects (heightened voice, breast enlargement, etc.)

Most women will usually begin perimenopause (irregular periods) sometime in their forties and approximately 2-4 years before menopause begins. Half of all women begin menopause by the age of 50. A woman enters menopause 12 months after she experiences her last menstrual period. Some women begin experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalance at anywhere from their early 30's to their late 40's, depending on several factors related to environment, heredity and how early you started having your period.

It is not likely but it is possible because a woman can have a very late menopause--even later than 53 in some cases. However, a man's sperm becomes unstable in his 40's, and babies born to aging fathers, regardless of the age of the mother, have a greater chance of being born with deformities.

Night sweats can be common in older adults, including a 78-year-old, due to hormonal changes, medications, or underlying medical conditions such as infections, cancer, or hormonal imbalances. It is recommended to consult a healthcare provider to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

When the blood stops coming out for at least 4 hours. After the blood the it is discharge (clear gooey looking stuff). A good way to tell is also after about 5-7 days is when your period usually stops. That can be a good sign too.
