There are two important keys to dealing with menopause: the menopause kit and the duty of never sharing with “one of those weak girls who are cold all the time”.
That’s the advice of Willa Addison, a public health nurse with the Jackson County Health Department. Dr Susan Kaarsberg’s advice was a little more straightforward. Talk to your doctor about estrogen therapy.” Many menopausal symptoms are easily helped by therapy, the doctor said. If your person they are correct.
The two ladies gave a lecture entitled “Ima Hottie and the Seven Dwarfs of Menopause” last month at the Women’s Health Conference at John A. Logan College. Willa’s speech has been refined over the years, with a personal menopause kit, a duffel bag full of tools to combat the symptoms menopause.
The menopause dwarves are not happy friends, the dwarves who rescued Snow White. For Dopey and Doc, the gnomes are menopause: Grumpy, Bitchy, Leaky, Sleepy, Crying, Forgetful and a little shameless. Yes, I am modest.
Willa said that menopausal women wear a uniform, a sleeveless top and a loose overcoat that can be shed when necessary. “Thankfully, we live in a time when we can talk about menopause, not with other women ‘The Change.’
The most common symptom of menopause is hot flashes. Some women, about half of women, who have hot-flashes report them as mild, a little bit of discomfort when they don’t sweat. “I don’t know what they are,” Willa said. But the other half report that their symptoms are either moderate or severe. For those with intense hot flashes, sudden sweats and rising body temperature are so bad that women temporarily let them stop what they are doing.
So it comes from a fan kit. Always have a fan and not a room with little weak people” Willa advises. And, wash your face with a cold cloth and pressure points can help. //e-info.vn/tag/spicy-food”>spicy food can help It can prevent heat flashes.
Dr. Susan explained that doctors are on the fence about whether estrogen therapy is good or bad. Studies have shown both ways that any decision to start estrogen treatment should be made with a personal medical doctor and family history and symptoms and severity.
“There is nothing else that will help like estrogen, but there are risks, so you need to discuss it with your doctor,” he says. “In menopause, the ovaries are released and estrogen production has stopped. Other options include hydration and exercise, and some newer anti-depressants show success in combating symptoms menopause.”
Dr. Susan said homeopathic-remedies that soy and black cohosh have their own risks. Soy mime has estrogen and similar dangers, and black-cohosh black cohosh, which has had dubious success. It has been linked to liver damage. , she said.
After their enlightening and sometimes humorous introduction to Ima Hottie, Willa and Dr. Susan went to work introducing the dwarfs.
itchy skin drying, membranes and arises from almost any part of the body. “Menopause also affects the eyes. Who knew?” Willa asked, pulling a huge bottle of lotion from her menopause kit, recommending that women hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
And added Dr. Susan, as a guide. By losing estrogen, women looking for a lower sex drive anyway and those who overcome their lower sex drive may find sex unpleasant due to a lack of humor . “Slather it on,” the doctor said, which led to help keep sex pleasurable in menopausal women.
Bitchy Dwarf is the mood-swings that come with menopause, an “inappropriate reaction” to events, irritability and resurgence. old constitutions. Willa said that recent research shows that women’s emotions and mental stress have long been treated with pop to the surface during menopause and that it is not uncommon for women to “shake me off so crazy”.
And, especially women, they don’t know how bad it is, said Dr. Susan Estrogen supplements and anti-depressants can help with the mild depression that often accompanies menopause, but some women face severe depression. Women should realize that this is a normal symptom and report it to their doctors so that they can discuss solutions.
Leaky is less directly related to the onset of menopause and more related to aging and the natural functions of the female body. “Age begins by bending the body and stretching us after childbirth and all that it leads to,” Willa said. Leaky Dwarf tells us “she hasn’t had this many wet panties since I was 2.”
And those wet panties can lead to infections, Willa added.
The best answer, Dr. Susan said, is kegel exercises. To do kegel exercises, women sitting upright should try to stretch the stomach muscles, pulling them to the spine. then he flexes his muscles in such a way as to intercept the flow of urine. And he must do it about 200 times a day to prevent leaks, he said.
“I have a bad colleague who said why don’t more women know this. It’s so good for all women,” said Dr. Susan And I asked him, have you experienced it?
Exercise can be done almost anywhere, but it is not easy and must be done every day, he says. He skips one day and that at the beginning, he says.
Women also need to be able to distinguish an empty bladder from an overactive one, he said. An overactive bladder needs medical attention. An overstimulated bladder can easily be characterized as an insatiable urge, sometimes pressing for specific events, such as putting the key in the door. He said that the medicine to help the cysts is very useful.
Nane’s sleep is a big side effect but Ima Hottie and hot flashes. More than 70 percent of women in menopause reported losing sleep at least one night per week, mostly due to night sweats and burning lamps. Many women also develop restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea, Willa said.
The key to overcoming sleep issues is to use rooms only for sleep and sex, Dr. Susan said. Reading, watching television and other activities should be kept elsewhere. And after 15 minutes of trying to sleep, women should p and do something else than just keep tossing and turning, he said.
“A lot of people are swayed by crying,” Willa said, which is a problem with P. Fleepy. This little bugger sneaks up on you, he says, making you cry when all you really want to do is cry. Women in menopause should simply cry without excuse, she advises, and wear the luxury of menopause jewelry.
Crying is another expression of sadness, called Susanna. “When you can’t explain it, when it’s overwhelming, talk to a doctor,” he says.
The most frustrating thing about the dwarves, personally, Willa said, is that he forgot. This can be unpopular with women who are used to getting over it. Multitasking becomes impossible, you lose the ability to prioritize, you have trouble concentrating, you have more space, you have the burden of remembering names and words you want to use, and it’s even harder to explain basic concepts, Willa said.
“This is one of the symptoms where estrogen is not helpful. Current studies indicate that it may also exacerbate memory loss and the early onset of Alzheimer’s ‘ said Dr. Susan. But women are excited to , do crossword puzzles and even consider .new video games designed to stimulate the brain.
And the first thing you should not forget, Willa said, is the knowledge that menopause is not the end of you. Sexy Dwarf says “If you had a good sex life before menopause, you can have a good sex life after menopause.”
As we have been told for years, most of the romantic moments go between the ears, he said, and we only need to consider the physical changes in our bodies.
“All my life I’ve been waiting for something thin on me and my vagina,” Willa joked. Seriously though, a thinner coat of the vagina can make sex uncomfortable and dirty women need more extra lubrication.
“They say if you don’t use it, you lose it,” Dr. Susanna said, “And it’s true. It may be uncomfortable at first, but the more you use it, the more comfortable it will be. .
Women who are close to menopause should know the terms there:
Pre or peri-menopause period up to 10 years long before the onset of menopause. Many symptoms including hot flashes will begin in peri-menopause.
Menopause occurs when the body goes one year without a menstrual cycle. In this way, a total hysterectomy can be performed surgically.
Post-menopause is the rest of your life afterwards.
Women who have had a menstrual cycle within the last year can still biologically become pregnant, even though they are menstruating.
The average age of menopause is 52.
