As a woman, you face bigger challenges, one such change in your biological clock is Menopause. Slowly as you enter uncharted territory, it\u2019s comforting to know many women before you have navigated the same course, and emerged stronger and wiser on the other side.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What is Menopause?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Menopause is a hormonal change that marks the end of\u00a0 women&#8217;s menstrual cycles and fertility. It is a natural biological process. Normally diagnosed after it&#8217;s been 12 months without a menstrual period. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51. However, the physical symptoms, such as hot flashes, and emotional symptoms of menopause may disrupt your sleep, lower your energy or affect emotional health. Entering into Menopause has three stages<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Perimenopause <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Perimenopause, or menopause transition, is the stage of a woman&#8217;s reproductive life that begins several years before menopause when the ovaries gradually begin to produce less estrogen, hormones etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Menopause-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Menopause symptoms include irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep difficulties, and irritability. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Postmenopause-<\/b> The time of a woman&#8217;s life following menopause is called postmenopause. During this time, many of the bothersome symptoms that a woman experienced prior to menopause gradually ease for most women.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Symptoms of Menopause:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Early signs and symptoms can vary from woman to woman. Most likely, you&#8217;ll experience some irregularity in your periods before they end. Skipping periods during perimenopause is common and expected. Often, menstrual periods will skip a month and return, or skip several months and then start monthly cycles again for a few months. Periods also tend to happen on shorter cycles. Listed below are a few changes you might experience in the months or years leading up to menopause:-<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Periods become irregular.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have hot flashes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You feel the chills and may experience night sweats.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have trouble sleeping.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel moody and forget things.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have physical changes, weight gain and slowed metabolism.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feel differently about sex.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vaginal dryness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinning hair and dry skin.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of breast fullness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Causes of Menopause:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier Menopause\u00a0 is the natural and permanent end to menstruation. However not all women undergo natural menopause. Some women experience menopause because of several other health complications or underlying conditions which can result from:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Naturally declining reproductive hormones:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0As you approach your late 30s, your ovaries start making less estrogen and progesterone \u2014 the hormones that regulate menstruation \u2014 and your fertility declines.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Surgery that removes the ovaries (oophorectomy):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Your ovaries produce hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, that regulate the menstrual cycle. Surgery to remove your ovaries causes immediate menopause.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Chemotherapy and radiation therapy: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These cancer therapies can induce menopause, causing symptoms such as hot flashes during or shortly after the course of treatment. Radiation therapy only affects ovarian function if radiation is directed at the ovaries.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Premature menopause:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0About<em><strong> 1% of women<\/strong><\/em> experience menopause before age 40. Premature menopause may result from the failure of your ovaries to produce normal levels of reproductive hormones, which can be caused by genetic factors or autoimmune diseases.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>How Ayurveda can help combat menopause problems?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Menopause can bring a lot of unwelcome changes but Ayurveda is a treasure trove of therapeutic, healing ingredients to get you through this phase of life. Ayurveda<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can help create the right balance and manage the symptoms of menopause to help smooth this significant transition. A few altercations you must follow are:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Diet Changes:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diet can impact a woman\u2019s menopause symptoms. It&#8217;s time to eliminate, avoid or cut down on processed food, refined carbohydrates, alcohol, and spicy food during this phase. A menopause diet plan includes making slight dietary changes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Add foods containing plant estrogens, or phytoestrogens &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broccoli, cauliflower, dark berries, chickpeas, and soybeans can help mimic estrogen and reduce some menopausal symptoms<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consume food that can help strengthen bones<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like dark green leafy vegetables, especially spinach and kale, yogurt, cheese, milk, eat a well-balanced diet rich in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Consume Omega-3 fatty acids<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in fish like salmon, mackerel or tuna, the vegetarian source in flax and chia seeds.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Lifestyle changes:<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Menopause is the time when everything else takes a backseat and the ideal time to reinforce healthy changes in your life.
