ROLLERCOASTER RIDE OF SYMPTOMS


When it comes to the menopause, 51 is the ‘Magic Number.’ Not only is this the average age for women experiencing the menopause, but there are around 51 symptoms of menopause and perimenopause that precedes it, and on some days you may be forgiven for thinking you are being hit by all 51 at once.

The physical symptoms are tough – night sweats, flushes, fatigue, vaginal laxity, weight gain. The mental symptoms are just as challenging – anxiety, loss of confidence, mood changes, emotional well-being and brain fog… the menopause has a lot to answer for.

Our personal appearance is another consequence of the ‘Big Change’. Skin sensitivity, pigmentation, redness, adult acne, enlarged pores and dehydration are just some of the changes you may experience. Often we notice a significant increase in sagging skin around the brow and jowls as the reduction in the body’s production of oestrogen impacts the production of skin-firming collagen and elastin.

Dr Wendy Molefi – GP and Menopause Specialist
Making an appointment with Dr Molefi is the best thing I have done since I started experiencing symptoms of the menopause about a year ago. I had really been struggling and had so many questions which my local GP tried to help with but there was always a time limit.

It was incredibly easy to get an appointment and I was given time to ask all my questions and talk through options and any concerns. What helped the most was not just talking about it from a medical point of view but talking about the mental health aspect, lifestyle changes, supplements. This is such a huge subject that just doesn’t get discussed enough. I have already recommended Dr Molefi to some of my friends.

Menopause Support FAQs

It’s important to ask lots of questions and fully explore all options available to you. Here are the most popular questions asked.

Menopause is a natural biological process in which the menstrual cycle stops. The ovaries are functioning less and no longer releasing eggs, which is related to a drop in oestrogen and progesterone levels in the body.

The body slowly enters menopause, often with several years of signals preceding it known as perimenopause. Those signals include irregular periods, heavier or lighter flows and weight gain.

Most women will reach menopause between 45 and 55 years of age, although it may be earlier or even later in some women. Women tend to undergo menopause at an age similar to that of their mothers.
Before you realize your period has stopped, you may notice other symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopause. They can include hot flushes, night sweats, profuse sweating, difficulty sleeping, headaches, decreased bone density, moodiness, anxiety, forgetfulness and problems with concentration, and vaginal dryness.

Health risks associated with menopause include an increased risk for heart disease and bone density loss (osteoporosis). Oestrogen offers some protection against both of these conditions, so when oestrogen levels fall at menopause, the risk increases.

Changing hormone levels during menopause and midlife can increase the risk for depression in women. Emotional symptoms related to menopause can include anxiety, fears, and mood swings. Depression during perimenopause and menopause is treated similarly to depression that occurs at other times in life.

There are lots of different ways that women can help themselves during their menopause:

  • Exercise and eat well
  • Give up smoking
  • Reduce caffeine intake
  • Drink less alcohol
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to ease the symptoms of the menopause. It tops up, or replaces, low levels of the hormone oestrogen. It is commonly used to treat hot flushes. Many women notice that taking HRT improves their mood, sleep and general quality of life. They also notice they think more clearly and generally have more energy.

You can take HRT in a number of ways including:

Patches: self-adhesive patches placed on your skin below your waist. This provides a constant flow of hormones.

Gels: Applied daily to a clean dry area of skin, such as on your lower back or on your thighs.

Tablets: Tablets are the most popular form of HRT. You take these every day to control your symptoms.

While hormone treatment (HRT) is helpful for some women in dealing with severe symptoms, many are reluctant to use it because of uncertainty about risks and benefits.

HRT can cause several side-effects including:

  • tender, and larger, breasts – this may last for four to six months
  • cramp in your legs
  • feeling sick
  • feeling bloated
  • mood swings
  • depression
  • headaches
  • fluid retention – this is when fluid builds up in your ankles or face, which can cause swelling
  • more frequent migraines, if this is something you’re normally prone to

 

While hormone treatment (HRT) is helpful for some women in dealing with severe symptoms, many are reluctant to use it because of uncertainty about risks and benefits including:

  • Breast cancer
  • Ovarian cancer
  • Endometrial cancer
  • Blood clots
  • Heart disease and strokes

    I have suffered with oily skin and breakouts which have continued as an adult. ZO and HydraFacial were recommended to me. Using the ZO products daily and including a Acne HydraFacial within 12 weeks my skin is clear of spots and looks glowing. I feel confident enough to go without foundation. Thank you Air Aesthetics

    My lower jaw area was ageing me so I researched surgical and non-surgical treatments and opted for Ultherapy. The reason being it is known as the World's number 1 treatment for skin tightening and lifting. I visited Air clinic and had a full consultation including medical history. I was shown lots of great results from the clinics clients and decided to go ahead with a lower face and jawline treatment as I was impressed by the professionalism and friendliness of the clinic and the team. I'm 4 months in and have been delighted with the results. I can see a noticeable lift and the results will only get better. Highly recommend.
