REACTIONS TO THE MENOPAUSE
Posted by adminWe all react differently to problems at any time in our lives; there is an old saying that at the menopause we are what we are only more so, but this really only describes our reaction to any change or phase in our lives. For example some women notice pain more than others. It also depends on what else is going on at the same time.
It is suggested that women who have interesting and fulfilled lives notice the menopause less, but I do not find this in our clinic. I have patients who say they cannot carry on their busy involved lives with their hot flushes and emotional disturbances. Among these are a top accountant, an opera singer, and an executive in a business organisation. Some women, on the other hand, cannot do housework because of their menopausal symptoms. It all depends on your make up. There is no need to feel ashamed or apologetic, and there is no sense in not seeking help.
You may find that generally tidying up your physical habits is all that is needed. It is well known that tension, excess weight and alcohol consumption, to mention just a few examples, all increase the severity of some symptoms. Maybe you can adjust this yourself. Some believe in natural foods and increases in vitamins; others in hormone replacement. Find a sympathetic doctor you can talk to. I feel that if you know the facts, you can sort it out with him or her and in any case will be more relaxed about approaching and experiencing this phase in your life.
