Women’s health concerns

Menstruation concerns:

There are two types of painful menstruation – primary and secondary. When no disorder is found that may be the cause of the pain, it is referred to as primary. If the pain from menstruation is due to some gynecological disorder, it is considered secondary or acquired dysmenorrhea. In primary painful menstruation, uterine contractions that occur when the blood supply to the uterus is reduced are considered the cause of the pain. There can be several contributing factors including; a mal-positioned uterus, a narrow cervical opening, anxiety about menses and the lack of exercise. Primary painful menstruation is a common concern of women (affecting more than 50 percent of the female population) and is the cause of significant time losses from work or school. It is usually more prevalent during adolescence and appears to lessen with age and/or following pregnancy. With primary painful menstruation, the pain may begin shortly before menstruation, affecting the lower abdomen and sometimes the lower back and thighs, this usually subsides after about two days. Some women may also experience other symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, and headache.

Recommendations:

• Nutritional supplements
• Multivitamin for women

Menopause concerns:

When a woman stops ovulating and menstruation ceases, indicating the end of fertility, this is called menopause which is also referred to as the “change of life”. Once a woman stops ovulating, the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone decreases and largely stops. Estrogen has an impact on many different organs in the body, although it is commonly considered as a sex hormone tied to reproduction. Cells in a majority of areas in the body all contain estrogen receptors for normal cell function. Estrogen is required to keep the skin smooth and moist, and to keep the body’s internal thermostat operating properly. Proper bone formation depends on estrogen. It is important to note that even though estrogen levels drop sharply after menopause, the hormone does not disappear entirely. Proper bodily functions are maintained through organs known as endocrine glands that secrete hormones.

For each individual woman, the menopausal period is different. For some it starts earlier and for others later. However the average age at menopause is around fifty. For some women, menopause is a period with few or no noticeable symptoms. For others, a number of  short-term or acute symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, dizziness, night sweats, fatigue, headaches, anxiety, depression, poor libido, bladder problems, vaginal dryness and itching, burning and discomfort during sexual intercourse, breast tenderness, dryness and aging of the skin, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and insomnia. Estrogen and progesterone deficiency are the cause of all of these symptoms and over the long term, increases in the likelihood of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and vaginal atrophy are linked to a diminished supply of estrogen.

How a woman lives with this time of her life can have a great impact on the frequency and severity of her symptoms. Most of the unpleasant side effects of menopause can be minimized and virtually eliminated through a proper diet, nutritional supplements, a multivitamin for women, and proper exercise.
