The main symptoms of premenopause

Every woman at a certain moment of her life is experiencing a period of decline and decline of the basic functions of the organs of the reproductive system. All female representatives differently feel the course of such changes: some suffer from unpleasant sensations, others do not notice them.

Climax does not have a precisely defined time frame, because it depends on the individual characteristics of the female body, its heredity, health status and lifestyle. Medical practice shows that from the time of the first signs of the weakening of the function of the ovaries before the final extinction can take 5 to 10 years.

Climax consists of three stages: premenopause, perimenopause and postmenopause. Each of them has its own peculiarities of manifestation in the female body. Premenopause is the initial period of menopause, when its first signs appear. It lasts until menopause, when there is an abortion of the ovaries.

The first symptoms of premenopause are the change in the menstrual cycle: it is significantly reduced, appears less and less, and appears with very little discharge. This process is connected with the fact that the level of the ovarian hormone decreases in the blood and the production of the hormone of the pituitary gland of the brain, which inevitably leads to the aging of all the body systems.

Usually, the symptoms of premenopause begin to appear at the age of over 45 years. But sometimes there are cases when the ovaries of a 40-year-old woman lose their functions. The causes of this early menopause may be regular stress, physical exhaustion, infectious diseases of the reproductive system, lifestyle or heredity.

Women at this age have climacteric syndrome, which is not always painless. Very often such symptoms of premenopause:

• Quite fast fatigue;
• Nervousness and irritability;
• headache;
• Sharp and frequent changes in mood;
• Tides (unexpected feeling of heat), sweating, swelling;
• sleep disturbance;
• Unreasonable anxiety;
• cardiopalmus;
• Dryness of mucous membranes.

This state of the body is considered a normal reaction to serious changes, so it does not necessarily require treatment. But, of course, there are situations when all the symptoms of premenopause bring only discomfort and inconvenience to a woman. In such cases, you can use some medicines prescribed by your doctor.

Manifestations of menopause, associated with changes in the vegetative-vascular system, do not require any medical intervention. In the fight against climacteric syndrome, phytotherapy is considered effective and effective. It is often used to eliminate unpleasant sensations during premenopause of soybeans, because the isoflavones contained in it are very similar in composition to female sex hormones and therefore are able for a while to overwhelm them until the body adapts to the changes.

After premenopause for a year, the woman does not have a menstrual cycle. His absence is the main symptom of menopause. During this period of time, the ovaries completely atrophy and the postmenopause period begins.

Postmenopause is the life of a woman after losing all the functions of the reproductive system. At this age, the sexual desire is quenched, an intensive process of aging of the body begins: numerous wrinkles appear, hair falls out, nails break. Some other, more serious problems associated with the genitourinary system can also be observed. In such cases it is better to contact a gynecologist for the appointment of hormone replacement therapy.
