Menopause, also known as menopause, is a period of physiological change in the body that begins in women between 45 and 50 years of age, and sometimes much earlier. During this period, a gradual cessation of menstruation occurs, and the activity of the uterus and ovaries fades away. The duration of this period can reach up to 10 years.
The menopausal period is accompanied by a number of unpleasant symptoms. Women experience frequent hot flashes, dizziness, and excessive nervousness. In the future, heavy bleeding, uterine fibroids and even uterine cancer may appear. However, if a woman has never had any inflammatory diseases, then the menopause goes easily.
In order to make the painful phenomena less acute, Ovarin is usually given three times a day, one tablet. However, it is necessary to consult a specialist doctor.
Menopause, like menopause, can occur in both women and men. In women, menopause is more acute and quite quickly (within 3-5 years), but in men it is milder and longer.
Manifestations of menopause are caused by temporary disorganization of body functions due to decreased function of the gonads. In men, the number of cells that produce sex hormones in the testicles decreases. This leads to a decrease in the content of sex hormones in the blood and a violation of coordination in the activity of the endocrine glands, causing a disorder of one or another body function.
Most often, the functions of the cardiovascular system are disrupted: palpitations, pain in the heart area, a feeling of pulsation in the head, dizziness, and increased blood pressure are noted. At the same time, memory weakens and performance decreases. In women, the onset of menopause is associated with functional changes in the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovarian system, expressed in the gradual decline of menstrual function. The intervals between menstruation increase, and gradually they stop. This is explained by the fact that by the age of 45-50, age-related changes occur in the tissues of the hypothalamus, in particular, the cyclical release of neurohormones stops, prompting the pituitary gland (endocrine gland) to also cyclically produce hormones that affect the reproductive system.
As a result, eggs stop maturing in the ovaries, the mucous membrane of the uterus becomes thinner, and the nerve impulses going from it to the ovaries and hypothalamus weaken. Such a restructuring of the body is often accompanied by vascular and nervous disorders, such as hot flashes, headaches, irritability, insomnia, decreased performance, increased blood pressure and others.
These disorders are observed for 1-2 years, and then gradually disappear. Menopause ends with age-related changes - menopause. Menopause occurs when menstruation has completely stopped for a year.
Although menopause can be unpleasant and even painful, it is a natural process in the lives of women and men. To manage symptoms, your doctor may prescribe hormone therapy and recommend healthy lifestyle choices, including proper diet, exercise, and stress management.
It is important to understand that menopause should not be an obstacle to living a full life. Appropriate treatment and health care will help you cope with unpleasant symptoms and continue to enjoy life.
