How To Deal With The Physical Symptoms Of Menopause
Going through menopause you will experience different types of symptoms and I like to break down menopausal symptoms into two categories:
Physical
Mental
Whenever people think of menopause they associate it with the hot flushes and night sweats. But there's much more to it then a hot flush and what amazes me is sometimes we don't even know these changes are related to the menopause.
In this week’s ‘Weekly Wisdom’ I’m focusing on the physical symptoms of menopause.
Here are just a few of the physical symptoms women can experience during the menopause:
Changing or irregular periods
Hot flushes
Night sweats
Insomnia
Fatigue
Anxiety, mood swings, irritability and depression
Loss of confidence, feelings of being invisible
Changes in libido or sex drive
Weight gain
Dry skin
Vaginal dryness
Increased PMS
Urinary leakage or urgency
Aches and pains in muscles and joints
If you're suffering from any of those symptoms, the main thing to do is to be kind to yourself and make sure that you're eating a really wholesome diet that contains naturally occurring estrogen and get plenty of rest.
Join me next time when I'm going to be talking more about the mental symptoms of menopause.
