Stop Suffering! The Few Things You Need to Know to End Menopause Worries
It seems like middle age for women is a tragicomedy, judging from the wealth of jokes about mothers-in-law, menopause, and male midlife crises. Yet, anyone who’s gone through it knows that menopause is no laughing matter, unless it’s the sort of hilarity where one laughs to keep from crying. Even experiencing it indirectly, as a partner or child, is enough to engender both sympathy and exasperation.
I’m so hot; can we roll down the window? Why is this place always messy; why doesn’t anyone else clean up around here? Where did I leave my sunglasses? These, and other similar queries, make up the background of my late teenage years at home. I got to hear first-hand about all the hot flashes and the foggy-headedness, while stumbling upon the new bottles of lube in the bathroom, and experiencing the seemingly random swerves from happy to irritable to anxious to sad that happened along the way.
Why Does Menopause Occur?
Eventually, I got curious enough to begin researching what menopause actually entailed. Does every woman go through this? And why? What I ended up discovering is that the whole process of menopause is dependent on hormones, and hormones alone. It seems so unlikely that such diverse and troublesome problems could all be linked to a few haywire chemicals in the body, but it’s those very chemicals we need so badly to function properly.
There are plenty of hormones at work all day, every day in your body, but the three most important to menopause are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. During a woman’s mid-to-late forties and early fifties, the body stops producing estrogen and progesterone. Why would it do this? Because your body is no longer meant to be parous (child-bearing) at this age. Your body has decided that you are at a point where there’s no longer any need to create children, and throws the kill-switch for the hormones that control your sex drive and sexual health.
Your Brain on Progesterone
Unfortunately, these hormones encompass a lot more than just those two things. Many of the mental problems that seem to accompany menopause are the result of your body losing progesterone. Progesterone is a powerful chemical signaler in the brain, and regulates neural function extending throughout all actions of the brain and body. As a matter of fact, increased progesterone has been shown to improve memory and cognition with those suffering from Parkinson’s and traumatic brain injuries.
When this hormone starts to taper off, your brain schisms. What else could it do, missing such a vital ingredient for all brain utility? Improving the menopausal problems that stem from the brain is as easy as increasing progesterone levels in the body. This includes any neural stimuli, such as hot flashes, which are caused by chemical relays between the brain and the ovaries.
A Little Dab’ll Do Ya
Women contain just a touch of testosterone, but what we have, we need. Testosterone keeps our muscles toned, our fat levels in check, and our libido up. As this hormone decreases during menopause, women find their sex drives slipping away, along with the embarrassment of weight gain and loss of strength. Women need such little testosterone, however, that it’s generally regulated through a low-dose cream, or another low-delivery method.
The Female Hormone
Estrogen, for it’s part, is heavily intercourse related. It prompts vaginal lubrication, while keeping vaginal, labial, and clitoral tissues healthy and well vascularized. It also puts women in a position, no pun intended, to be open to sex. Estrogen is a receptive hormone; it doesn’t impel a woman to seek out sex, but does make her interested in having sex, and a willing participant. Without this hormone, women feel all dried up and worn out, literally and figuratively.
However, while it’s easy to find progesterone creams or patches, it’s more difficult to get your hands on an estrogen fix. This is because pure estrogen is linked to breast, ovarian, and uterine cancers, since it stimulates the growth of those tissues.
Don’t Rely on Hormone Replacement
A better way to manage hormones in your body is to promote your body’s natural production of them. When you simply seek to replace the missing hormones with new, synthetic ones, the body becomes reliant on these interlopers, and sometimes develops issues regarding the balance between them—causing even more problems.
Helpful Herbs
There are a few herbs that can really help during menopause, and a few have been used for thousands of years. Black Cohosh and Chasteberry are two very powerful hormonal modulators. Rehmannia, Wild Yam, Red Clover, and Flax Seed all work to promote a healthy hormonal balance. Many of these can be found without too much trouble in the supplement section at the supermarket. If you want any other information you can check the herb section at Herballove.com.
I’ve recommended a number of these to friends suffering from hormonal imbalances, and I offered up my suggestions to my mother as well. She’s currently much cooler on a low dose of Black Cohosh, and it’s certainly helping her cognition as well. Many women belatedly discover a simple solution that can help them so much. Don’t be afraid to try one yourself!
