It is widely believed that menopause affects only elderly women. However, this is not true, as this period in a woman's life usually starts around 45 years of age, i.e. when she is in the flower age.
It often turns out that women who have menopause starts much earlier turn to the doctor. It is also worth mentioning that the first symptoms associated with menopause, i.e. the perimenopausal period, may appear shortly after the age of 30.
Menopause is a period in a woman's life during which the ovary function begins to expire gradually. This is directly related to the hormonal changes that occur in the woman's body. During this time, the production of estrogens, in particular, decreases. Interestingly, some women may have asymptomatic menopause, but symptoms such as this may also occur:
- hot flashes;
- cold chills;
- palpitations of the heart;
- night sweats;
- Variability of moods;
- headaches;
- problems with falling asleep and insomnia.
During menopause, most women may experience vaginal dryness, which can cause great discomfort, especially during sexual intercourse. The hormonal changes taking place in the woman's body at that time are responsible for this state of affairs. As mentioned above, female hormones are produced in a smaller amount, and the estrogen that belongs to them is responsible, among other things, for proper vaginal hydration.
However, this problem can be tackled. The only thing you need to know is that vaginal dryness is closely related to the menopause, and there is no other substrate. In order to restore proper hydration of intimate areas, it is possible to choose preparations that restore proper pH of intimate areas, and also contain moisturizing agents, e.g. hyaluronic acid, which also helps to alleviate irritation.
