What is Perimenopause?

Before entering menopause, most women experience perimenopause. This is the transition period before you enter menopause. The symptoms that are experienced during perimenopause are a sign that your body is preparing for menopause.

Many women notice a change in their menstrual cycle with periods often becoming less regular as estrogen levels rise and fall. You may only menstruate every couple of months, may start experiencing hot flashes, have trouble sleeping, have mood issues and va**nal dryness.

Perimenopause can start between the ages of 40 and 50 but can also be earlier.

Remember to exercise and eat healthy during this time.

We will be continuing our talk about Menopause. 🙂

When you reach menopause, s*x hormones such as estrogen and progesterone are no longer produced by your ovaries. At the same time, your body stops releasing eggs from your ovaries and your menstruation ceases. After one year of no periods, your doctor can retrospectively diagnose you as menopausal. These hormonal changes are linked to many of the common symptoms of menopause.

Premature menopause can occur as a result of medical or surgical factors, such as premature ovarian failure, hysterectomy, or chemotherapy. With surgical menopause, women experience many of the same symptoms following an oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). Menopause is generally considered to be “early” if it happens before the age of 40.

The biological process of menopause can take up to ten years. Not having periods for as long as 60 days is quite common in the perimenopause, especially as you move towards the full menopause. After you reach menopause, the years following this are often known as post-menopause. Many menopause symptoms start to disappear in postmenopause but there can still be health risks linked to the fact that your body has stopped producing hormones. Bone health, for example, is one of these concerns.

Have you gone through "the change" yet? It definitely is a change for sure. 🙂 Understanding it may help

Menopause: The Basics

Menopause may be a natural part of the aging process, but it can also be a confusing and distressing time for many women. Especially if you are not sure whether changes in your health and well-being are linked to menopause, or a sign of something else. Over the next few posts, we will be giving you a look at 12 of the most common symptoms of menopause and what causes them so you can feel more empowered about “the change.”

Menopause is officially diagnosed after a year of having no menstrual periods. Your doctor or pharmacist can recommend lab tests to look at your hormones, which can also give some indication of where you are in the menopause process.

What is the prognosis?

Endometriosis impacts significantly on the quality of life of every sufferer in several ways, depending on the level of symptoms and severity of the condition. The pain inflicted by the condition may create much distress and discomfort. In addition, being diagnosed with endometriosis may lead to strong emotional reactions such as disbelief, shock, frustration, numbness, and anxiety. Since endometriosis can lead to infertility, it may produce psychological effects by causing anxiety, stress, and depression.

Furthermore, endometriosis causes pain during or after in*******se, negatively affecting a woman’s feelings of s*xuality and femininity. A woman’s capacity for s*xual pleasure may diminish, which may lead to divorce or break up of a relationship. However, it is important to remember that a number of treatment options are available, and it is possible for many sufferers to obtain at least partial relief from their symptoms.

Endometriosis can be a highly disruptive, painful condition that leads to a low quality of life for many women. However, with prompt investigation and treatment, its effects can be eliminated or at least mitigated.

Communicating with your practitioner:

You are encouraged to make an appointment with your Primary Care Provider or OBGYN if you are bothered by any of the common symptoms of above. You know your own body. Together with their medical knowledge, you can get the correct diagnosis and advice for the most effective management of your unique circumstances. The right doctor will be a partner in decision making and will make you feel heard, respected, and in control of your health.

How is endometriosis treated?

Sufferers typically seek medical attention when they begin to experience severe pain on a regular basis.

Some over-the-counter medication may help relieve painful me**es. They include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin IB) or naproxen (Aleve). However, although this treatment can alleviate the pain, it does not cure the underlying condition or remove the abnormal tissue growth.

Treatment with hormonal therapies and supplements can help reduce pain. Some of the effective supplements include hormonal birth control, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (Gn-RH) analogs, and Medroxyprogesterone. These hormones help slow the growth of endometrial cells and prevent their implantation on other pelvic organs. Gn-RH inhibits the secretion of ovary-stimulating hormones, which lowers estrogen levels and reduces menstruation, making the endometrial tissue shrink.

Surgery may be recommended if the above measures do not work. The aim of first-line or conservative surgery is to destroy excess endometrial cell growths while leaving the uterus intact. This is typically done using laparoscopy, a surgical procedure that aims to remove the tissue growths by making small incisions in the abdomen and along the endometrium.

In severe cases, hysterectomy may be recommended. This invasive procedure entails the complete removal of the uterus. In some cases, the ovaries are also removed.

Nerve surgery can be effective in alleviating chronic pain in the pelvic region. Laparoscopic uterine nerve ablation (LUNA) and laparoscopic presacral neurectomy (LPSN) procedures disrupt nerve connections between the uterus and the pelvic bone.

It is possible that certain herbs and supplements may help alleviate the symptoms.

What causes endometriosis?

One potential cause is retrograde menstruation. This occurs when a woman’s menstrual blood flows back through her ovaries rather than out of her body via the va**na. As a result, endometrial cells contained within the menstrual blood become attached to the pelvic wall and other nearby organs. They then begin to develop into abnormal growths known as endometrial implants.

The effect of hormones may also play a role. Specifically, the increase in estrogen levels during puberty and pregnancy may cause endometriosis in some women.

Surgical procedures such as hysterectomy or a cesarean section may cause the condition. It is possible that after the surgery, some endometrial cells may become attached to the organs or tissue near the site of the surgical incision.

Occasionally, immune system failure leads to endometriosis. Usually, a woman’s immune system will detect and destroy any stray endometrial cells growing outside of the uterus. However, should it fail to do so, the cells may continue to grow until significant endometrial implants build up.

Finally, genetics can influence the likelihood that a woman will develop the condition. A woman whose mother or sister has endometriosis is more likely to experience the same problems, compared with a woman whose female relatives have no such problems.

What are the symptoms of endometriosis?

Painful periods are the most common symptom. Others include pain during or after s*xual in*******se, long-term lower back, abdominal pain, pelvic pain, discomfort during urination, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infertility. These may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, fatigue, diarrhea, and constipation.

An Introduction to Endometriosis

Millions of women suffer from endometriosis, yet many people are unaware of its causes, symptoms, and treatment. This guide may be of help to women wondering whether they have the symptoms of endometriosis or those who have been diagnosed with this illness.

What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a chronic medical condition in which the endometrium tissue, which normally forms the lining of the uterus, develops in other areas in the body. This abnormal extra tissue will typically thicken, break down, and bleed during menstruation. It is often found growing on the inner lining of the bowel and ovaries in women diagnosed with endometriosis. These growths may irritate surrounding tissues and lead to chronic pelvic pain and discomfort. Other potential complications include infertility, ovarian cysts, and increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Check back on Wednesday to learn about the causes and symptoms of Endometriosis.

How Are Vaginal Yeast Infections Diagnosed and Treated?

Several women choose to self-diagnose and buy treatments from the drugstore. Most times that works fine. However, if you’re unsure, or your symptoms don’t improve, see a doctor.

The doctor will listen to you and note the symptoms you describe. She may wish to examine your va**na. A va**nal smear test may help find the form of yeast responsible for the infection.

After diagnosis, your doctor may prescribe an antifungal cream or suppository. In severe or persistent cases, your doctor may prescribe other forms of treatment such as an oral medication to take over several weeks.

When to See Your Doctor

If you self-diagnose but the over-the-counter treatment doesn’t work, always see your doctor, as you may have gotten the diagnosis wrong or have other complications. If you have self-treated in the past but continue to have several yeast infections a year, see a qualified medical practitioner.

Vaginal yeast infections are common in women of all ages. A yeast infection is often uncomfortable and may even be painful. It can have a negative psychological and emotional impact, too, causing distress and interfering with s*x and relationships. But once diagnosed, effective treatment is always possible. If in any doubt, don’t suffer in silence; see your doctor.

You are encouraged to make an appointment with your Primary Care Provider or OBGYN if you are bothered by any of the common symptoms above. You know your own body. Together with their medical knowledge, you can get the correct diagnosis and advice for the most effective management of your unique circumstances. The right doctor will be a partner in decision making and will make you feel heard, respected, and in control of your health.

What Are the Most Common Causes of Vaginal Yeast Infection?

Medicines and Treatments
Broad-spectrum antibiotics prescribed to treat another infection may also destroy the healthy bacteria which keep candida in check, leading to excessive yeast growth and infection. Often, steroid treatments given for other conditions do the same. Vaginal douches and sprays may change the acidity balance, also harming bacteria and encouraging yeast growth.

Hormonal Changes
When pregnant, alterations in progesterone and estrogen levels can lead to yeast infections. Likewise, when breastfeeding. Hormone replacement therapy can have a similar effect. Certain forms of birth control that change estrogen levels may also cause a va**nal yeast infection.

Tight Clothing
Tight clothes that retain heat and sweat, creating the warm, damp conditions ideal for yeast growth, can encourage infections. Loose, cotton panties are safer. Always change out of gym clothes and swimwear as soon as you can and wash and dry yourself well.

Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
If you suffer from diabetes and your condition isn’t treated, increased sugar in your va**na’s mucus membranes can cause a yeast infection, as yeast feed on sugars. Women who have HIV may be less able to fight off minor infections and so have a higher risk of a yeast infection getting hold. Likewise, women with cancer, organ transplant patients, and women who’ve had a blood transfusion, may be at greater risk of secondary infections, including va**nal yeast infection.

Check back on Friday to learn about diagnosis and treatment.

What is a Vaginal Yeast Infection?

Three out of four women suffer from a va**nal yeast infection, or va**nal candidiasis, at least once in their lives. Yeast infections make your va**na and v***a itch. You may also experience discharge.

Over 20 forms of yeast (candida) inhabit your gastrointestinal tract, skin, mucus membranes, and other body parts including your va**na. The good bacteria in your body feed on them, so they’re normally harmless. But if something upsets your internal balance, they can grow out of control. Excessive yeast growth leads to infection. While va**nal candida is the most common, yeast infections can also affect your mouth, skin, and even get into your bloodstream.

What Are the Symptoms of a Vaginal Yeast Infection?

The symptoms of va**nal yeast infection are unpleasant, uncomfortable, and distressing. Knowing how to recognize them is important so you can make the right diagnosis and get treatment. Many women self-diagnose va**nal yeast infections and treat them with over-the-counter medicines. In more severe cases, you may need to see your doctor.

The most common symptom of va**nal yeast infection is itching around the va**na. Other symptoms include burning sensations, swelling, soreness, and discharge. A va**nal discharge caused by candida is often a thick, white substance that looks like sour cream or cottage cheese.

If a va**nal yeast infection is untreated it can get worse and even spread to other parts of your body. Yeast infections in your mouth cause soreness and a white coating on your tongue. Red, dry, flaky skin may also be a secondary symptom of yeast infection.

Treatment Options

Relieving the discomfort associated with interstitial cystitis involves utilizing a number of different therapies. Physicians may recommend taking over-the-counter, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen or naproxyn. A medication called pentosan polysulfate sodium is used to help rebuild the lining of the bladder to relieve pain. However, this medication can cause gastrointestinal upsets and reversible hair loss. Hydroxyzine, an antihistamine, can also be helpful for these patients. A variety of different antidepressant categories can also be used to relieve bladder discomfort. For some patients, instilling medications directly into the bladder can be helpful. These medications include heparin, sodium hyaluronate, and dimethyl sulfoxide.

Complementary Remedies

Many patients with interstitial cystitis report that certain foods seem to increase the discomfort. Acidic foods such as citrus products and tomatoes are among these irritants, as well as chocolate and caffeine-containing foods. Many patients also find that voiding the bladder regularly throughout the day can help to relieve symptoms. Stress reduction techniques such as meditation and biofeedback can also help patients to deal with chronic discomfort. Acupuncture and massage therapy is used to help patients deal with chronic urinary discomfort. A number of supplements are also available that contain ingredients that help to soothe bladder irritation, such as cranberry, aloe vera, quercetin, and other compounds.

Communicating with your practitioner
