For most of us, menopause can be a time of uncertainty. This is especially true if you’ve never really spoken about menopause with friends or family. Some women will notice that they are already in perimenopause (the period leading up to menopause). They might be suffering from symptoms in the weeks, months or years leading up to the main event. Most of us are greatly unprepared and this leaves us with questions and concerns. Here are some of the most common worries surrounding menopause.
Hot Flushes & Night Sweats
It’s no wonder that the most common symptom of menopause is also one our most common worries. Women dread the onset of hot flushes after hearing how dilapidating that can be in our lives. It’s not uncommon to experience up to 20 hot flushes a day, with continued sweats into the night.
The good news is that not all women will suffer to this degree. So fingers crossed you’re one of the lucky ones. If you do find yourself suffering, you’ve come to the right place! We’ve created a natural device that works to reduce symptoms by re-balancing your ANS (autonomic nervous system). The reduction in hormones causes your ANS to become unbalanced and it’s this that causes all symptoms related to menopause. You can learn more about our device here.
Anxiety & Depression
It’s ironic isn’t it, that we worry about worrying? We’re only human though and this does seem to be a flaw in our making! In most cases, anxiety and depression are a result of suffering from other symptoms such as mood swings, weight gain, low libido etc,. It’s the impact that these things have on our lives which can cause anxiety and in some cases depression.
To alleviate this, check out our recommendations here on reducing menopausal anxiety and stress.
A Sense of Loss
We’ve heard from some women who really struggle with reaching this point in their lives. They tell us they have always feared menopause because it’s a true sign of age. Although your fertile years are usually far behind you, it’s also a more definite end to your child-bearing years. To this we say, try to change your thinking in regards to menopause. Menopause is the start of a new chapter, rather than the end of a book. Reaching out and surrounding yourself with other inspiring women who are in the same boat can really help. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, or it’s not really an option right now, consider joining our LaBalance community on Facebook.
