Help! I Have Menopause

For all women, the age of menopause is inevitable, however most ladies just want to know when its going to happen to them.

The way it works is that, at some point in the aging process, she will experience the slow down of the production of the hormone estrogen and the overall functions of the ovalries. This period is called perimenopause. This process for most starts about or close to age 40.

For the most part, the actual onset of menopause is about 50 years of age. You may find very few who make it to 60 before they get menopause and a few who get it as early as 40. There may be some variations where certain conditions occur. In some cases, women will have hot flashes, changes in their menstruation patterns such as heavier flow, lighter flow or skipped periods all together, a few years before they actually get menopause.

My guess for the age of menopause is to be prepared for it to come between 40 and 55, and if you are one of those rare people, you may get it during the late 50’s to the early 60″s.

Menopause Multiple

For most women who experience hot flashes due to menopause, there is a need to get rid of these feelings. If this is you, you may go to your physician and get medication (with their many side effects) that may help rid you of hot flashes or you could rely on natural cures. This article will teach you about several cures that will help you with hot flashes.

1. Some women have reported that Black Cohosh is particularly effective with relieving the dreaded hot flashes. It is safe and works remarkably well. A few reports have indicated it is a cause of liver problems, however this has not been proven in any research.
2. My personal recommendation (I am not a doctor, this is my opinion) is Dong Quai, it has been used in Chinese Medicine for over 1200 years. It helps many women with the effects of hot flashes. However, keep in mind that you should not use it when you are having trouble with blood clotting or you are taking medications that treat bleeding complications.
3. Another natural cure is Ginseng, which not only helps with hot flashes but it is also helpful with the other symptoms of menopause.

There are many other natural cures, but I have not tested them and I have no idea how they work. I would check with a trained herbalist if you are unsure about any herbal medication you may want to try.

I found this and thought it was just hilarious. This is quite possibly how we all feel when we get menopause.

This is a very funny video by Lisa Koch (singer) and Dee Adams (cartoonist) showing the funny side of being a middle aged woman with menopause.
