In the translation from the Greek language, this word sounds absolutely not scary and even romantic - the "ladder".Where does she lead us, poor women, who wrote all the hardest things on the family: in the youth - critical days with PMS, then childbirth, problems with children, you do not have time to look back, like menopause or climax begins - that same "Greek staircase".Well, eternal nagging, a depressed state - one of the signs of an age-related restructuring of the body. And the worst way you can think of is despondency.
And why the "ladder"?
Most likely, because the climax passes in stages, in several stages. At whom in how many years the climax begins, depends on the woman's body, on her health, on the conditions of life, and on the heredity. If your mother has had a hard time, this means that your daughter needs to prepare for the difficulties. There are lucky ones who do not feel the transition to a new quality, except that they notice a malfunction of the menstrual cycle, and then a complete cessation of menstruation. Such, alas, a minority. Well, we're female cat, we always knew how to land on four paws, we can still do it. As for age, this highly individual process can begin in someone immediately after 40 years, someone can drag on to almost 60. But the average age of the onset of menopause is 45-50 years.
So, the stages of the big way
Before the climax begins in the classical sense, the woman receives the first signals in the form of irregular monthly, with delays or, conversely, more often than usual. This is the so-called premenopause. The thing is that in her body there is still enough of the estrogen hormone necessary for the uterus to fertilize, but the progesterone responsible for menstruation is already lacking. Gradually, the body moves to the second stage - the complete cessation of the menstrual cycle. A year or two after that, when a woman is still waiting - it or not, and still fears an unexpected "gift" in the form of pregnancy on a long term( which often happens!) - this is the second stage or the actual menopause. And after that comes the third stage - postmenopause, when hormones are already at the zero mark, and the woman is no longer tormented by the question of how menopause begins, but about how to cope with her symptoms.
Everyone has a different
It has already been said above that every woman experiences this difficult period of her life in her own way. But it's worth returning to this and widening the topic a bit: who starts the menopause and how does he endure it. The easiest is a gradual cessation of menstruation in the absence of other aggravating symptoms. It happens, but rarely. Basically, the female body reacts violently to such changes - because a woman never wants to grow old! Against the background of hormonal changes, there are health problems - headaches, blood pressure jumps, depression, nervous breakdowns. And the biggest scourge is, of course, the tides, increased sweating. Often during this period a woman gets on the table to a surgeon - she starts all kinds of fibroids and cysts in the uterus and ovaries. But this is already the most difficult cases.
How can I survive?
After the climax begins, most women say to themselves: "This is inevitable, which must be experienced."And they make a mistake that aggravates their suffering. Climax must be treated, more precisely not the climax itself, but its symptoms.
It is necessary to be observed at the gynecologist and to accept the hormonal treatment appointed by it which does transition to a new physiological status as much as possible comfortable. Do not interfere with the collection of herbs specifically to relieve the symptoms of menopause - hot flashes and headaches. And in the psychological sense, probably, you need to find advantages in everything. For example: a woman aged 45-50 is still young, beautiful, she still works, she has many friends and, perhaps, admirers. It is not necessary to be afraid of pregnancy, so that the intimate life brings new sensations. A woman is free and from eternal cares of children - they already have their own lives, so you can do it yourself - learn to ride a bicycle, go to the pool, walk in a park with friends, travel around the world. Life is still beautiful!
