You know, herbal teas I haven’t tried infusions either, but I took Remens during menopause. Didn't help much. Then I switched to Estrovel - a noticeable difference (perhaps because it contains three phytoestrogens, while Remens contains only one). But the fact is that this drug saved me from hot flashes, changes in blood pressure and mood. Sex life also resumed again, as the desire returned and the dryness with p/a disappeared. In general, phytoestrogens really help me live a full life during this period.

I read the article with interest. A lot good recipes and advice. I’m at an age when you’re already starting to think about it. I’m really trying to fight wrinkles. I want to look younger than my age. I use creams that contain hyaluronic acid. I take Evalar hyaluronic acid capsules. One capsule per day with a glass of water. Hyaluronic acid performs two essential functions: maintaining volume and natural hydration. And when this happens both outside and inside, the effect intensifies. The skin becomes smooth, tone appears. The contours of the face are clearer. Small wrinkles disappear. Hands are generally like a girl’s. Smooth, without peeling or wrinkles. In general, so many things have been invented now that you just have time to keep up with the latest innovations in cosmetology and medicine. And to the best of your ability, apply this for yourself. But of course, people’s advice, proven over the years, too.

Menopause is an inevitable period in the life of every woman. When a woman’s sex glands stop functioning in their usual tone, menopause occurs, which is called menopause.

As a woman approaches fifty years of age, many body functions slow down. The rate of metabolism actively decreases, the skin, in which the level of collagen gradually decreases, begins to fade. Also, women during menopause may experience ailments that are not present in a young body.

Simply put, menopause is a period of transition from young to mature, with some functional changes in the reproductive system. One of the indicators of the beginning menopause is the complete cessation of the menstrual cycle.

Secondary symptoms

Which secondary symptoms menopause in women after 50 years? One cannot help but mention women's causeless mood swings. Fatigue caused by even the simplest work nervous tension And long depressions also accompany menopause. Additional indicators of the onset of menopause in women of fifty include: frequent urge to the toilet, drying of the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, roughening of the skin of the lips. Naturally, sexual desire is minimized due to the uncomfortable sensations of decreased hormones and possible weight gain.

Symptoms of menopause in women after 50: hot flashes

Women who are already fifty or older often suffer from such an ailment as hot flashes. The tides themselves are uncomfortable feeling in the upper body. This discomfort manifests itself in redness of the skin on the chest, neck, face, as well as increased temperature conditions body, feeling hot. Hot flashes can last from a few seconds to five minutes, and redness of the skin can be mild or severe. Hot flashes are especially severe in women who have had their ovaries removed. This is explained low level female hormone estrogen.

In mild stages of hot flashes, just wash your face cold water or accept cool shower. If hot flashes are too frequent and not short-lived, you should seek help from a doctor. It is always worth remembering that self-medication can lead to unforeseen consequences. If a woman loses consciousness during a hot flash, she feels high fever in the upper part of the body or her arms and legs are numb, there is a tingling sensation throughout the body, you should definitely seek qualified help from a doctor.

Women of fairly advanced age should clearly understand that the more nervous and worried they are about menopause, the stronger its main symptoms will manifest themselves. Stress has a very detrimental effect on nervous system women, which provokes not only an increase in the intensity of menopause, but also the development of an inferiority complex. Next, you need to make sure that there is constant circulation in the house or apartment. fresh air. Women sleep much easier in a cool room than in a hot room.

Having put on warm clothes in advance, when feeling the onset of hot flashes, a woman can take off everything warm, thereby easing her general condition.

Symptoms of menopause in women after 50: treatment

At the first manifestations of menopause, you should consult a doctor. After all, you already know what symptoms should not occur on your own. You should not try to ask a pharmacist for advice at a pharmacy to purchase a drug that eliminates symptoms. Only a gynecologist and therapist has the right to prescribe medications to a woman. The most common medications include: tablets, drops, ointments, patches.

In addition to the main drugs that help fight menopause, additional ones are prescribed to maintain general health the whole body. Such drugs include sedatives and immunostimulants.

An event happened. You - or someone - celebrated 50. And this is age. In a sense, this is an achievement. Because anyone can talk about the “fifty dollars” they have lived, in any way they want, but fewer actually manage to achieve it personally – both those who speak and those who are silent. But speech is not speech. An event happened.

Problems of physiology

Liver Once upon a time, ancient people said that anyone who is angry and/or envious will definitely have a liver pain (or gallbladder). It's an interesting thought. By at least, she offers an explanation for the fact that we are – now – full of diseased livers. Apparently a lot of people are angry and jealous. That's all? Of course not. Heart My heart is still shaking. For example, men know what a myocardial infarction is. But for some reason they don’t like to talk about it. And at the same time, we also know that atherosclerosis is often the cause of a heart attack. Are affected large vessels(atherosclerotic plaques are born there). They impede blood flow and disrupt the blood supply to organs. Around 40-45 years old. The aorta, heart, brain, renal arteries, and the arteries of our limbs (usually the lower ones). Angina pectoris, heart attack, arterial hypertension, atherosclerosis of the cerebral arteries (memory impairment, fatigue, stroke).

Gout Gout is running. Royal disease, Pan's sickness, Disease of aristocrats... Alas, it is almost exclusively a disease of men (women get sick about 10 times less). Especially those who are aged, who are overweight, who are diabetic, and who have high cholesterol in blood. It's a habit, you know. hereditary predisposition, which also adds excess salts to joint damage uric acid. Prostatitis Prostatitis. It's also not easy to hide from him. Especially for men (those over 45 years old are the most vulnerable). In this case, inflammation of the prostate gland has a whole bunch of “preludes”: colds, infectious; consequence of stress; sexual infections; irregular intimate life; inactivity; prostate adenoma... It is better to remain silent about prostate cancer. And about the rest too. Not out of principle, but simply for the sake of decency.

Problems of psychopathology

But these are modest references to physiology. Unfortunately, the ailments are not limited to her. Because psychopathological disorders remind us of themselves. Somatization. Cerebral atherosclerosis. Neurosis-like syndrome. Depression. Dementia. Parkinson's disease. Alzheimer's disease…

That is, heaviness in the head, noise and ringing in the ears, dizziness, staggering when walking, increasing fatigue, need for rest, irritability, impatience, tearfulness, memory defects, insomnia, hopelessness, helplessness, loss of interest, decreased mental performance, disorganization of mental processes...

It's not all that scary

• However, there’s no point in fainting. Because many diseases of late age can be cured. For example, a safety net for atherosclerosis is proper (not fatty) nutrition. Quitting alcohol and tobacco. Controlled movement. Regarding gout, it makes sense to normalize your weight, follow a diet, and consult a doctor. Because attacks of pain in the joints can be repeated. And gout will have a chance to become chronic. And this will lead to kidney damage. And from the kidneys to the liver is just a stone's throw away. The circle closes.
• Or maybe it doesn’t close. Because if you actively sing in a choir, play the button accordion, play checkers, chess, billiards, or dance rap-disco-folk (after training in aikido, of course), then you can simply not pay attention to many things.
• And if you draw, sculpt, embroider, weave, knit, recite, collect, write(like Ethel Voynich, Astrid Lindgren, or at least like Agatha Christie), or blog on the Internet, etc. – there simply won’t be time for much.
• But. If you depict a dynamo you are lazy(or unrealistic), you can honestly and regularly say hello to doctors. Do a cardiogram. Remember the ultrasound. Remind radiologists about yourself. Do not spare a couple of drops of blood for tests. Check pressure. Determine the sugar level in the remaining blood. Examine the ophthalmologist with curiosity. I mean, let this doctor know that not everyone over 50 finished. There are still so many events ahead.
