Menopause Symptoms

MENOPAUSE DEFINED

Menopause referrs to the cessation of menstrual periods for at least 12 months. Many women experience amenorrhea (absence of menstual periods) at some point of their lives for many different reasons, with the periods later resuming. Testing is generally not necessary in women in their 50's or older to diagnose menopause. If there has been no bleeding for at least 12 months in a woman in her late 40's and higher, menopause most likely is the cause Menopause results from Hormone Imbalance.

PREMATURE MENOPAUSE

Premature menopause is defined as the cessation of menses prior to age 35. This can occur as early as a women's 20's. In a young woman it is therefore very important to be sure the lack of monthly periods actually signal menopause, or is due to a functional or hormonal imbalance. Once other causes of amenorrhea have been ruled out (pregnancy, thyroid dysfunction, other hormone imbalances), a woman can be deemed to be menopausal. There is a simple blood test, FSH level, can be performed to be sure amenorrhea is indeed menopause. Unfortuanately, if it is menopause, a woman can no longer become pregnant. When prematue menopause occurs in a woman prior to the completion of childbearing, it can be a devastating diagnosis. Even for women who have completed childbearing, it is heatbreaking as they now have to deal with all of the symptoms and health risks that accompany menopause.

PERIMENOPAUSE

Although there is an end point which defines menopause (the cessation of menses), menopause is a process. The majority of women go through certain phases. And, even within these phases, all women's menopause experience is different.

Perimenopause refers to the period prior to menopause. In terms of symptoms, one may experience nothing. For some women, one day they just stop bleeding with none of the accompanying signs that menopause was approaching, and experinece no symptoms after. Unfortunately, the majority of women experience some degree of symptoms.

Symptoms begin due to the decline in the body's production of, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone hormones. These symptoms representing Hormone Imbalance may be noted as early as a woman's mid thirties. The experience of smptoms vary widely. Some women experience gradual changes over several years while others have symptoms that are more intense. There are others who may experience anywhere from mild to severe symptoms that last just a few months.

The difference for a woman who is 'perimenopausal' and 'menopausal', is that a perimenopausal woman will still have a menstrual cycle. This cycle may become erratic and she may skip periods as her hormone levels fluctuate. PMS which she may have never experienced, or had been mild and manageable, may become noticeable and more intense. All of the above symptoms may be present to varying degrees. These symptoms may continue through menopause, and last for several years after. The presence or absence of menses defines perimenopause and menopause. However, women may notice no difference as they transition from one of these clinical phases to the other.

Post menopausal referrs to women who are no longer having periods. The terms Menopause and Post Menopause are generally interchangeable. A simple blood test (FSH), may be helpful in confirming menopause in a woman who has not had menses for 12 months.

During this period women may still notice several of the symptoms noted above, but other changes take place:

In addition to the above symptoms, there are significant medial complications associated with menoapuse. These include:
