What is Happening in Your Body

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
The body of a woman is very complex, and there is a lot of different things that are going on in the body. In order to understand menopause you must have an idea of what is going on in the body.

  1. The ovaries contain all the materials a woman needs to produce an egg (also called ova) in small sacks. The uterus is a hollow organ which is in the pelvic area of a woman. These eggs that are produced will have to travel through what is called the fallopian tubes. When the egg is out of the ovary then it can be fertilized and will then become implanted in the lining of the woman’s uterus. This is what a woman needs to have happen in order for them to get pregnant.
  2. The body is producing hormones, these hormones are estrogen and progesterone. These are found within the woman and are essential to making the body prepared to reproduce. They also create the female body development as well as being a part of the nervous system and brain, the liver, the urinary tract and the bones of the woman. Progesterone is also responsible for thickening the uterine lining so that the woman’s fertilized egg is ready to grow.
  3. As the woman gets older her body will start to decline in its ability to make eggs, which will eventually stop causing the woman to have a condition called menopause. Women will also experience menopause when they have their ovaries removed in surgery.
  4. The woman goes through perimenopause, a process that leads up to menopause. A woman is not going to go through overnight, she will go through this process first which could take a couple of years. There are three stages a woman may go through, The early stage is where their menstrual flow changes and the cycle slows down. The second stage may be skipped periods or irregular ones. In the last stage of perimenopause a woman will miss a lot of periods until they actually stop all together. This comes with many different symptoms.
  5. A woman reaches Menopause in which there is no longer a secretion of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Your body no longer produces eggs, and you may stop having symptoms you had in perimenopause.

Now you have an idea of everything that should be happening in your life from period to menopause. Now you can study menopause with a clear understanding of it.

Introduction to Menopause

Friday, November 27th, 2009

In my research I found that menopause is simply the time when a woman is no longer producing eggs in her ovaries and when she experiences a decline in the amount of estrogen and progesterone both womanly hormones. In most cases the women who get menopause are older, usually between 45 and 55. However younger women may also get menopause if they had their ovaries removed or if they are experiencing a premature form of menopause, so here I am a 38 year old woman with menopause or actually I have a form of menopause called perimenopause which means that the periods are beginning to taper off. For me they have actually stopped, however you are not considered fully in menopause until you have missed 12 full months of periods. While having menopause early is one thing, it is not common, normally women don’t get this until they have reached on average about 51 years of age. So if you are 38 don’t worry you may very well have plenty of time left before you actually get it.

In the next blog we will talk about the perimenopause symptoms and what you can expect from getting this stage of menopause.
