The common Pre Menopause Symptoms
Indeed every woman must go through the process of menopause. For those who are nearing that stage of life, there are some common symptoms that usually occur.
One of the most common pre menopause symptoms is that of night sweats. This can be very irritating as it would affect your sleeping life for a long time to come. You can treat this symptom by either dealing with the night sweats or the other symptoms in totality.
Indeed if you want to effectively treat pre menopausal symptoms, you need to ask women who have dealt with this problem in order to see what worked best for them. Apart from this, there is no need to take any drug to eliminate the symptoms without first consulting a doctor. For those who are constantly experiencing night sweats one thing you can do is to keep an ice pack ready in the freezer so that if you wake up with the sweats in the night, you can easily cool yourself down. You can also decide to take a cold shower.
Moreover, there is the need to make sure that the room temperature is cool before you go to bed. If there is a fan or an air conditioner turn it up before going to sleep. Apart from this, you should make it a point to exercise regularly as this helps to break down excess tissues and cells in the body thereby reducing the pre menopausal symptoms. Do well to increase your consumption of foods that contain high levels of oestrogen. Some of these foods would include yams, cherries and soy.
Before going to bed make sure that your stress level is reduced by practicing exercises like meditation or yoga. You can even relax behind a cup of tea or read a book in order to calm you down. An alternative would be to consult an herbalist about substitute medicines in order to eliminate these symptoms. This may include acupuncture or a variety of herbs in order to make the hormone levels balanced.
The single most important thing would be to consult a doctor depending on the severity of the symptoms you are facing. Even though the drugs that are prescribed may have some side effects they would also ease the symptoms without necessarily eliminating them.
Sometimes the doctors would also recommend that you begin a hormone replacement therapy. You can always get a second opinion if you want to.
