Upon reaching a certain age (after 45 years), every woman is faced with a transitional stage for her body - menopause. But in some cases, symptoms appear much earlier, which brings a lot of discomfort and problems.
What are the causes of early menopause in women
First of all, this is a kind of heredity, genetics, autoimmune processes, immunological diseases, complications after labor and more. As you can see, the early menopause in women is due to many factors, and they can be determined only after a visit to the doctor and research.
The result of all the above changes is a deviation in the work of the reproductive organ - the ovaries. The consequences for each woman manifest themselves in different ways, which depends on the initial cause of these processes.
Symptoms of early menopause
The most important and disturbing is the decrease in reproductive ability. In the first stages, a woman may notice the following symptoms:
- severe and frequent headaches ;
- frequent mood swings;
- sharp changes in thermoregulation;
- heart palpitations;
- uncomfortable sweating, which previously was not.
Gradually, the disturbance of the functioning of the genitourinary system, changes in the structure of hair, skin, weight change, pain appears during intercourse, and so on. At the last stages, the formation of osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases is characteristic. In addition, facial hair can begin to grow, which is typical for men.
After stopping menstruation, menopausal disorders are divided into several types:
- early that lasts about 2 years. During this period, excessive sweating, violation of thermoregulation, pressure drops, palpitations, weakness, irritability, depression are characteristic;
- medium-term - after 2-5 years. A woman may experience itching in the vagina, urinary incontinence, skin changes, prolapse of the pelvic organs;
- Late-term - after 5-10 years, weight gain and redistribution of fat according to the male type begins. The development of cardiovascular diseases, as well as the progression of osteoporosis, is noted.
Prevention
In order to prevent early menopause in women, it is recommended to follow a few simple rules that will help to further maintain reproductive ability and health for a long time.
So, first of all, consider nutrition, lifestyle, and the functioning of organs. During pregnancy, you will have to carefully monitor the lifestyle - avoid stress, observe the daily routine, eat right . If you perform all of the above, the body will receive everything necessary for the full functioning and maintenance of a normal state for a long period.
As mentioned earlier, menopause begins from 45 years. This means that up to this point no symptoms should appear. If you were diagnosed with an early menopause in women, then the treatment will be selected according to a similar scheme as with the elimination of a common disease, but with some adjustments due to age. We do not advise you to postpone treatment, especially if you have found more than one symptom in yourself, and they do not disappear, but rather increase. Having launched the female menopause, treatment will be needed more seriously, because the ovaries lose their reproductive ability much earlier than it is inherent in nature.
