Overview of menopause

Overview of menopause

(Referred by International Fitness Therapist Neeraj Mehta)

Menopause refers to the time after the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs, levels of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone drop, menstrual periods cease, and it is no longer possible to conceive a Child. Menopause can come on naturally or it can be the result of chemotherapy for cancer or the surgical removal of the ovaries. Natural menopause typically occurs in a woman’s late forties or early fifties or early fifties, but there is a wide age range. Perimenopause is the transitional phase when periods are often irregular. During both perimenopause and menopause it’s common to experience mood swings and such symptoms as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and memory problems. Symptoms vary enormously from woman to woman. Many pass through this stage with few symptoms and minimal disruption to their lives, while others are nearly incapacitated.

For year, doctors prescribed HRT for the treatment of menopause and perimenopause symptoms as well as the prevention of heart disease and osteoporosis. The thinking on HRT has changed radically as recent scientific studies suggest that, if anything, the risk of heart disease as well as of strokes, blood clots, and breast cancer is higher in woman who take HRT

women of menopausal age are typically at the stage of life when they are facing a lot of stress from juggling the responsibilities of work kids and aging parents.

Stress plays a significant role in the severity of menopausal symptoms reducing stress is thought to be helpful in dealing with hot flashes and mood swings.

Pranayama, restorative poses and meditation are particularly useful for minimizing the effects of stress.

Mental tension raises levels of the stress hormones cortisol, which contributes to the loss of calcium from bones and interferes with new bone growth.

Weight bearing postures that help build bone strength and unlike many other forms of exercise a number of asnas such as downward facing dog and handstand involve weight bearing in the hands and arms building those bones as well.
