Continuation on menopause and its challenges

About two weeks ago,I thought I was going to die, because my heart was beating as if,it wanted to come out of my body. This is my major problem. Anytime this happens,I have to suspend all that am doing,and sit down quitely until I get myself back. You can see the towel I carry about,I sweat more than any woman I know. My kneels sometimes appear not to be there again,too much pain. Is this sickness,or end time thing sir?"

Another friend of Iya Ibeji's said,"they have been in it for about fifteen months now. I don't feel any how,but I want s*x all the time now,I wasn't like that before.I hope am not turning to Asewo now. My sense of attachment to my husband has increased badly. Am more jealous and highly poccessive than before. Apart from these am cool and happy."

By this time,I had concluded my pounded yam,with efo riro. I now move from the dinning table,to join Iya Ibeji and friends in the family sitting area for further discussion.

When I smiled and welcome them all,their contenances changed,they looked too serious.

I smiled again,and told them all that they are passing through is menopause.
And it's not a disease on its own. It is an inevitable biological process in the life of every woman, menopause signifies when reproductive process comes to a halt.
Menopause is referred to as cessation of menstrual periods and ovulation. It is referred to as "Change in life." A woman can experience last menstrual periods between the ages of 40 to50,in some cases a woman may menstruate up to the age of 60years. The average age for menopause is 51years. From this age,the years leading to menopause are characterized by distruption in menstrual cycle and even in the nature of periods themselves. Some women experience menopause with serious discomfort,whilst others do not even have any discomfort at all.
A woman is considered post-menopause when she has passed 45 years of age and she has not menstruated for six months.

Many of the symptoms of menopause had been mentioned by Iya Ibeji and friends above. 25% of women experience distress during this period. These symptoms may last up to five years.

Menopause occurs because production of estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries had greatly decreased. Without the supply of sufficient estrogen,the uterine lining,that is shed during menstruation can not form. This change can occur suddenly,this account for a variety of physical and emotional symptoms.

Please note,that contrary to popular belief that the loss of estrogen experienced during menopause leads to redistribution of fat, contributes to loss of muscle and indeed causes wrinkles, research has proved this to be most untrue.

Women who underwent surgery removing their uterus experience untimely menopause.

Women who were given chemotherapy and radiation therapy as cancer treatment, usually experience instant cessation of menstruation.

Today's women suffer more symptoms of menopause compared to our forebearers,why?
Corporate ladies eat a lot of denatured meals and drinks. Indeed a woman who has menopause discomfort, once told me that everyday she suffered something that could be likened to mental illness. I asked what was her best meal,it was hot bread eaten with Noddles. This she takes at least once daily.

To douse the effect of menopause,if you're currently going through serious emotional and physical distress,a change of life style is a-must-do.

Dietary Guide For Menopausal Women

Eat diets high in raw vegetables like carrots, cucumber, lettuce, cabbage amongst others.

Avoid red meats,wheat and wheat products,sugar, dairy products, coffee,teas not recommended by a professional,greasy foods,fried meals,alchol,all types of soft drinks,and ni****ne.
Alchol and caffeine aggravate the hot flashes

Drinking up to 3 litres of water is very
helpful.

Avoid stress as much as possible.

Daily exercise will assist all women in menopause.

The propensity to have oestroporosis becomes very high at menopause,the tendency is greater when Menopause is induced. Don't engage in activities that may fracture your bone.

Women in Menopause and indeed all women,should learn to forgive others quickly,it helps the healing of the soul and body fast. Indeed the origin of some degenerative diseases could be traced to unforgiveness. Please endeavor to forget very quickly too.

Eating frequent light meals,is preferable to eating 3 heavy meals,this discourges the hot flashes

Avoid smoking and secondary smoke.

Junk or fast foods are fingered as frequent trigger of hot flashes.

All manufactured meals and drinks should be avoided completely. Adherence to the foregoing,will grant every woman soft landing during menopause.

Herbals For Menopause.

Menopause affects women differently,therefore herbal combination for everywoman is suppose to be tailor-made. There is an erroneous belief that once the homonal herbs are given,all menopausal symptoms will disappear. It's beyond that. Professional herbal therapist now know that, for a menopausal woman who is down with these symptoms,to be up and doing,her emotional well-being should be the priority,in consideration of her herbal needs.
Herbs like chamomile,valerian,hops must be included in her pack.

Hormonal herbs like black cohosh, donquai,vitex should be included.
During this period, immunity may run low, astragalus will help. Ginko Biloba is good for blood circulation,and it enhances memory.

Vitamin E is good. Evening Prime Oil works well on menopausal women.

It's important you get a professional guidance from a certified herbal practitioner,who will help you turn the above named herbs into just one tea or two, with appropriate guidance on dosage.

Today Iya Ibeji and co had embraced changes in life styles and taking appropriate herbal remedies,as advised by a certified herbal practitioner. And life is treating them better even in menopause.

My advice to all Menopausal Women is to eat healthy and adhere to the foregoing. Use of herbs is equally important,but please seek professional advice.

Women are encouraged to ensure that their husbands read this,to prepare them for the encounters ahead.

Men should anticipate a change in the lives of their wives as the get close to menopause. These changes may affect their relationship with their spouses negatively,men are encouraged to use maturity in dealing with the emotional breaks of the woman in menopause.

In some homes, menopausal disposition of wives,had led the entire family into irreversible disaster. If only men appreciate the enormity of emotional and physical trouma women go through at this time,men will give more support and have better understanding. Women in menopause with negative symptoms need men's kindness,deep understanding and support even more than a pregnant women.

Dr Leye,i love all you wrote on your page and want to be educated on my health challenge .
I married three years ago and I had been suffering from staph and low s***m count,a little while after our marriage. My wife is not better anyway,she has pelvic inflammatory disease and staph. We have used many antibiotics from many doctors,but none seem to be working. What do you advise we do because we are tired of all this.

Kakadu Epe(not real name)

Dear Kakadu,
It may not be possible to evaluate you on this forum,a lot of patients do have similar challenges.
When you have infection that had refused to go,you may want to guide against re-infection as advised under
* Take off your bedsheets and boil them,by the time you commence your antibiotics treatment. Ensure you iron them before,you reuse them.
* Take your medication as prescribed by your health provider.
* Before you start your treatment,get rid of all your underwear and those of your wife. It is best to burn them. Get new pants,preferably cotton pants. As you use a pant for a day,you shall boil them and iron them before use.
* Try and avoid public toilets as much as possible.
* You and your wife must wash your hands with soap and water before you have s*xual in*******se.
* You both must not have extra marital affairs
* Be careful with public doors handle,they are known to abhor bacteria a lot. Wash your hands with soap and water after a public outing.
* Please clean all door handles in your house with disinfectant on a daily basis.
* The iron law of toilet use is,intending users,should wash their hands with soap before using the toilet. After concluding toilet affairs,another hand wash should be conducted. Washing hand basins are best located outside the toilet by the toilet door.
* Fumigate your house at least once in a quarter.
* A woman using the toilet should clean from the back.
* Do not have unprotected s*x throughout the duration of your treatment.
*Clean up after s*x,should be done with tissue paper,properly kept in water and dust proof nylon. Some women use the pants they remove to clean,some use handkerchiefs,whilst some simply remove the tissue in visitor's toilet for the purpose. This may encourage reinfection.
* Do not use other people's pants and do not allow anyone to use your pant.
* People who use secondhand pants should stop forthwith,to avoid bacterial infection.
* Ties are hardly washed,the may remain undry cleaned forever. Ties researches now point to them as having capacity to abhor bacteria infection. If you use ties,ensure you dry clean them often. Doctors' ties rub on many patients every day,medical research point to the fact that doctors ties have high propensity to spread bacteria infection from one patient to the other. Be careful of doctor's ties.
*Men who do not wear under pants may have higher disposition to being reinfected,whenever they have bacteria infection. Wear cotton pants,boil and wash as prescribed above.
These will go a long way in helping you win your war against bacteria infection now and in future.

The foregoing not withstanding, please seek medical advice from a professional health practitioner.
