During the last one to two years of perimenopause, oestrogen levels decline at a faster rate, which usually brings on symptoms also experienced by menopausal women. These commonly include: We all know about the dreaded menopause symptoms. But how bad are they really? Healthista spoke to the experts to try and debunk common menopause myths As oestrogen levels fall, many parts of the body become drier – hair, skin, nails, eyes and vagina. Women who received a daily dose of A. Vogel Menoforce® Sage, which contains freshly harvested sage, found that their hot flushes decreased in quantity as well as intensity,’ explains Alison Cullen, A. Vogel nutritional practitioner and education manager.

However, if you’re unable or unwilling to take prescribed oestrogens, soy isoflavones such as Healthspan’s Menoserene, can help.For both early menopause and perimenopause, the symptoms are the same. As both are taking you towards the change of menopause, the same thing is happening to your body. In fact, some menopausal women feel more passionate as lower oestrogen levels means the small amount of testosterone in their bodies has a stronger effect. There’s also less worry about pregnancy, which can have a liberating effect’. Some GLA is also converted into hormone-like substances known as series 1 prostaglandins, which relax blood vessels to improve blood flow to the skin, decrease inflammation to reduce redness, and improve nerve function to reduce itching and discomfort. A woman is considered perimenopausal until one year has passed since she has last had her period. After 12 months with no menstrual bleeding, a woman is then considered to be in the menopause.

This failure causes our oestrogen levels to fall, which tells our brain to send more signals to our ovaries to try and get them to release an egg. This is what leads to the dreaded and infamous symptoms of the menopause. For example, risks from HRT are higher if you’re overweight and drink and data is showing this is linked to even moderate drinking (so two units a day, 14 units a week) increases the risk significantly of breast cancer – more than the actual risk of HRT. There are a number of reasons that women experience irregular periods, one of these being stress. Many of life's demands, such as work, relationships and money, can cause stress and people have different ways of reacting to these situations. One thing that is out of our control, however, is how our body reacts to these stressors. When we are stressed the adrenal glands secrete a hormone known as cortisol. Elevated levels of cortisol in the body can have a direct impact on oestrogen and progesterone production, which can in turn result in irregular periods.To prevent pregnancy, it’s always advisable to also use a non-hormonal, barrier contraception such as condoms or alternatively the Mirena Coil. This is a flexible method of contraception that can also provide a form of HRT and I frequently recommend to women who are peri-menopausal. As if us women don’t already have enough to deal with, the menopause sadly cannot be avoided and is a natural part of ageing, supposedly occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. If menopausal symptoms are interfering with your quality of life, talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which can significantly reduce symptoms. Dr Currie advises women who are approaching menopause to learn as much as possible about the hormonal changes involved, as well as what impact they may have and what diet and lifestyle changes can help. "They should see it as a time to invest time in themselves and really look at exercise, relaxation or whatever they enjoy." However, over the age of 40, your metabolism slows down and your body needs 250 fewer calories per day than when you were in your twenties’.

Around one in three women experiences continence issues,’ says Valentina Roffi, Clinical Specialist Physiotherapist (pelvic health) and Director at Sprint Physiotherapy. During the reproductive years there are a number of reasons that women experience irregular periods. The most common factors are anxiety, stress, fatigue, and over-exercising, all of which affect the balance of hormones in the body. But for middle-aged women, irregular periods can be one of the first signs they are approaching menopause, which in turn can trigger further stress, depression and anxiety. For these reasons it is often hard for women to determine whether a missed period is due to approaching menopause or various lifestyle factors. The effect of hormonesSage extract has several studies suggesting that it may be helpful in reducing hot flushes that affect 80% of women experiencing the menopause. Although this claim isn't yet EU-approved, many women worldwide use the herb and testify to its effectiveness.
