Face Symptoms of
Menopause Confidently
(MAL05061611T) KKLIU 1333/2017
If you believe you may be suffering
from early menopause symptoms you
need to understand what to look for.
This typically only happens to a small
percentage of women, but it could very
well be you. The sudden decline of
estrogen levels also causes menopause
symptoms like weight gain, adult acne,
unwanted hair growth on face and
body, dry skin and sudden appearance
of wrinkles. Here are the five major
menopause symptoms that tell a woman
she is approaching menopause:
Irregular Menstruation
The first menopause symptom is the
change in the menstrual period. As
from the age of 35 or 40, a woman
may find out that her period becomes
irregular, or scanty. The flow may be
excessive or prolonged. The period
may come bi-monthly instead of
monthly, or it may come every two
weeks. All of these are signs and
symptoms that should remind women
that they cannot be fertile forever.
Hot Flashes
A hot flash is a quick feeling of heat
and sometimes a red, flushed face and
sweating. The exact cause of hot flashes
is not known, but they may be related
to changes in circulation. Hot flashes
happen when the blood vessels near
the skin's surface dilate to cool, making
you break out in a sweat. Some women
have a rapid heart rate or chills. Hot
flashes with sweating can also happen
at night. These are called night sweats
and may make it harder to sleep.
Vaginal Dryness
This is one of the most serious
menopause symptoms that may cause
marital problems if proper care is not
taken. One effect of estrogen shortage
is that the vaginal walls become dry
and stiff. The walls become thin and
lubrication diminishes or disappears
altogether. The skin around the vulva
becomes thin and dry and easily
irritated. Sexual intercourse becomes
very painful if not impossible.
Aches and Pains
Pains and aches all over the body
are other menopause symptoms that
women nearing menopause may
experience. Some women have aches
and pains before, but at menopause
the pains increase. This is because of
the decreased estrogen. Estrogen is the
hormone that nourishes and strengthens
the body tissues, especially in the female
genital track and the breasts. With the
decline in estrogen, the tissues become
weaker and prone to infections. They
become stiffer causing aches and pains
to arise.
Sensations
It often happens that at menopause,
a woman begins to experience some
sensations all over the body. Some feels
as if ants are crawling all over their
body. Some women feel sweats trickling
down from their head to their cheeks, but
when they reach to wipe it off, they feel
nothing. Some feel tingling sensations in
the face and prickles and tingles running
around the body. The decreasing
estrogen causes all these. Most of the
women who complain of these signs and
symptoms are between the ages of 40
and 50.
