Here we will look at the imbalance in the level of estrogen. The following symptoms when estrogen levels fall are:
Irregular or missed menstruation :
The function of estrogen in women is to help the uterus to receive the fertilized egg in the ovaries. After the age of 40-50 years the ovaries stop functioning and causing disruption or less complete menstruation. Women whose ovaries have stopped working also suffer from hot flashes. It is the main indication of low estrogen.
*Skin
Due to low estrogen associated with menopause the skin is effected and feels dry and easily develop acne . Dryness of the skin can be cured with hormone replacement therapy but is not safe as it can cause other health problems . It is concluded through research that supplements containing red clover isoflavones can maintain the elasticity and firmness of the skin and help reduce the effects on the skin due to reduced estrogenlevel
*The Bones
Bone thinning or osteoporosis is another symptom known to show lower level of estrogen. After the menopause the decrease of estrogen levels and lack of estrogen slows the absorption of calcium and vitamin D in the body, which are both basic requirement for maintaining strong and healthy bones . Therefore the following menopause after age 50 it is important for women to take calcium and vitamin D to reduce the symptoms of declining estrogen .
* Sexuality
It has been shown that the level of estrogen plays an important role in female sexual health . Vaginal dryness and thinness is caused by low estrogen which makes penetration painful and therefore reduces sexual desire in women. Lack of sexual desire again causes vaginal disorders.
On the other hand in some women despite vaginal dryness increases libido in postmenopausal women because there is no risk of pregnancy . Vaginal dryness in most cases can be relieved by the use of lubricants KY .
*The Brain
After menopause most women suffer from :
Mood swings -
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Headaches
Memory problems -
- Difficulty concentrating
It should be noted that women who have gone through anxiety and depression before menopause are likely to have these symptoms more aftermenopause. It is necessary to treat depression especially if it leads to suicidal thoughts.
Mild depression and mood swings due to low estrogen can be treated with natural anti -depressants. Some symptoms of low estrogen levels can also be reduced with dietary supplements
