Perimenopause Symptom Relief



Menopause is a normal condition that all women experience at some point in their life. It marks the end of a woman's childbearing years and with it comes an array of uncomfortable symptoms and new health concerns. But, there is no reason why you have to suffer through it. There are many ways to relieve those pesky symptoms and stay healthy. Learn here about promising new treatments and ways you can cope.

Perimenopause, Pre Menopause or Menopause Transition
The stage of a woman's reproductive life that begins 8 to 10 years before menopause, when the ovaries gradually begin to produce less estrogen. It usually starts in a woman's 40s, but can start in the 30s as well.

Perimenopause lasts up until menopause, the point when the ovaries stop releasing eggs. In the last one to two years of pre menopause, the reduction of estrogen accelerates. At this stage, many women experience early menopause symptoms.

How Long Does Perimenopause Last?
The average length of pre menopause is four years, but for some women this stage may last only a few months. Perimenopause ends the first year after menopause (when a woman has gone 12 months without having her period). Early usage of MultiGyn Gel relieves the beginning stages such as vaginal dryness, irritation and pain.

What are Perimenopause Symptoms?
You will know you are transitioning into menopause when you begin experiencing some or all of the following symptoms:

Hot flashes
Breast tenderness
Worsening of premenstrual syndrome
Decreased libido (sex drive)
Fatigue
Irregular periods
Vaginal dryness; discomfort during sex
Urine leakage when coughing or sneezing
Urinary urgency (a pressing need to urinate more frequently)
Mood swings
Difficulty sleeping
Irregular periods are common and normal during pre menopause and early menopause, but other conditions can cause abnormalities in menstrual bleeding. If any of the following situations apply to you, see a doctor to rule out other causes.

Your periods are very heavy, or accompanied by blood clots
Your periods last several days longer than usual
You spot soon after your period
You experience spotting after sex
Your periods occur closer together
Often your doctor can make the diagnosis based on your symptoms. Blood tests to check hormone levels are rarely helpful; however, checking the thyroid status may be beneficial

Can I Get Pregnant if I am Perimenopausal?
Yes. Despite a decline in fertility during the pre menopause stage, you can still become pregnant. If you do not want to become pregnant, you should continue to use some form of birth control until you reach menopause (you have gone 12 months without having your period).

For some women, getting pregnant can be difficult once she is in her late 30s to early 40s due to a decline in fertility. But, if becoming pregnant is the goal, there are fertility-enhancing treatments and techniques that can help you get pregnant.

Are There Treatments That Can Reduce Perimenopause Symptom?
Many women experience relief from hot flashes after taking low-dose birth control pills (hormone replacement therapy) for a short period of time. But, certain women should not take HRT, so talk to your doctor to see if it is right for you.

You may also feel better if you do things that enhance your general well-being, such as:

Exercise
Stop smoking if you smoke
Get more sleep and try going to sleep and waking up at the same time each day
Decrease the amount of alcohol you drink
Get to a healthy weight and stay there
Take a multivitamin supplement and ingest enough calcium
Drink at least eight glasses of water each day
Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing problems with your sex drive. He or she may be able to recommend a counselor or therapist to help you and your partner work through this issue. Generally, DHEA or testosterone creams are not recommended.

Premature (Early) Menopause or "Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI)"
In the U.S. , the average age of onset for "natural" menopause is 51. However, because of genetics, autoimmune disorders or medical procedures, some women go through early menopause before the age of 40. Menopause that occurs before this age, whether natural or induced, is known as "premature" menopause, or pre menopause.

In addition to dealing with hot flashes, mood swings and other symptoms that accompany menopause, many women undergoing premature menopause have to cope with additional physical and emotional concerns. For example, since menopause signals the end of a woman's fertile years, a woman who wishes to get pregnant is likely to have trouble.

What Are the Symptoms of Premature Menopause/Pre Menopause?
Symptoms of premature menopause or pre menopause are often the same as those experienced by women undergoing natural menopause and may include:

Irregular or missed periods
Periods that are heavier or lighter than usual
Hot flashes (a sudden feeling of warmth that spreads over the upper body)
These symptoms are a sign that the ovaries are producing less estrogen.

Along with the above symptoms, some women may experience:

Vaginal dryness (the vagina may also become thinner and less flexible)
Bladder irritability and worsening of loss of bladder control (incontinence)
Emotional changes (irritability, mood swings, mild depression)
Dry skin, eyes or mouth
Sleeplessness
Decreased sex drive
In addition to the symptoms listed above, if you are under the age of 40 and experience any of the following conditions, you should see your doctor to determine whether you are undergoing premature menopause:

You have undergone chemotherapy or radiation
You or a family member has an autoimmune disorder such as hypothyroidism, Graves' disease or lupus
You have unsuccessfully tried to become pregnant for more than a year
Your mother or sister experienced premature menopause
How Is Premature Menopause/Pre Menopause Diagnosed?
First, your doctor will most likely perform a physical exam and draw blood to rule out other conditions, such as pregnancy and thyroid disease. He or she may also order a test to measure your estradiol levels. Low levels of estradiol, a form of estrogen, can indicate that your ovaries are starting to fail. When estradiol levels are below 36, it may signal that you are in menopause.

However, the most important test used to diagnose premature menopause is a blood test that measures follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). FSH causes your ovaries to produce estrogen. When your ovaries slow down their production of estrogen, your levels of FSH increase. When your FSH levels rise above 30 or 40 mIU/mL, it usually indicates have POI - pre menopause.

What Types of Health Issues Affect Women Undergoing Premature Menopause?
Like all menopausal women, women in pre menopause experience lowered estrogen levels as the ovaries stop most of their production of this hormone. Low levels of estrogen can lead to changes in a woman's overall health and may increase her risk for osteoporosis and heart disease. Other health risks associated with the loss of estrogen include increased risk for colon andovarian cancer, periodontal (gum) disease and tooth loss and cataract formation.

However, compared with women who go through natural menopause, women undergoing premature menopause spend a greater portion of their lives without the protective benefits of their own estrogen. This puts them at an even greater risk for the above mentioned menopause-related health problems.

How Is Premature Menopause/POI Treated?
The symptoms and health risks of premature menopause as well as the emotional issues that may result from it can be managed with the methods similar to those used for natural menopause. Women dealing with infertility that is brought on by premature menopause may want to discuss their options with their doctor or with a reproductive specialist.

Can Premature Menopause Be Reversed?
No. Premature menopause is the result of an underlying process. Once the process has started, it's unlikely to be reversed.

Answer 2

You definately need to go to the doctor because I had a friend that for three months didn't have a period but all the HPT's came out negative. She finally went to doctor and found out she was 3 months pregnant!!! It also could be other problems so you need to make an appt asap. Hope I helped!! Good luck!

Answer 3

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/JWqnt

Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).

1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.

2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.

Answer 4

I've had the same symptoms, except for the sore nipples. I'd go see a doctor to make sure.
I think some months I even get PMS.
Good Luck to you and I hope all is well !!!

Answer 5

That is what is called, 'a phantom period.' All the symptoms, but no blood. I have had that for 6 months now. I am 50. As far as your breasts, if there is any leakage from the nipple or if it becomes inverted, please see your doctor right away. There is a new breast cancer, called IBC. See this link and type in "IBC the new breast cancer and it should play.
