In a female, the reproductive period ranges from the age of 15 to 45 years which means that this duration may fluctuate between 30-35 years.
This is the period in which a female may engage in sexual activities and reproduce.
After 45 years of age there is an impending decline in the menstruation cycle which is also accompanied with a number of external and internal symptoms.
This is the time when a female’s body prepares itself for menopause. Generally menopause is declared when a woman stops ovulating and does not get her periods for complete 12 months.
Menopause does not thud over you as a storm or a gale but it is like a soft but an incessant knock at your life-door to invite you to the third stage of your life.
This stage is characterised with wisdom and extra self-care because internally the body experiences a reversal of hormonal production which means that it comes across whatever is just the opposite to what your body had been doing during your reproductive years (15-45).
During menopause, the hormones – progesterone, oestrogen and androgen – are produced in negligible amounts that keep the ovaries from producing further eggs and the desire for intercourse also receives a setback.
A number of symptoms begin to appear on the females from 45-47 years of age and may continue till 52-55 years.
During this stage you may undergo some tests to confirm your menopause but avoid taking heavy medicines as they may contribute to the adverse effects on your body. Most common and effective test is the ‘blood test’ and if it shows a depleted production of hormones – progesterone, oestrogen and androgen, then you may regard your menopause confirmed.
Before turning to any treatment remember that nature has its own laws to deal with all creation so, try to become nature-friendly and let the nature heal your menopause in its own way. Turn to natural techniques whenever any strange symptom shows on you. Be vigilant to the following symptoms:
- Sudden out-burst of sweat (Uncontrollable perspiration/Hot flashes)
- Lack of concentration
- Scanty flow of blood during menstruation
- Competitive attitude and Jealousy
- Dryness and inflexibility in vaginal membrane
- Depleted sex-desire
- Rapid decline in menstrual duration (from 6 days to 4 then 3 and so on)
- Body dryness and dandruff
- Increased frequency of passing out urine
If any of these symptoms appear during the withering age then don’t freak out. Just maintain your cool and be ready to daze the world with your uniquely awakened elegance. Resort to homemade healers and soothers which may give you a delve in nature’s lap.
Some Ayurvedic ways to manage menopause are:
- Ayurvedic purifying as well as moisturising therapies with herbal greasy massage. The hair and body massage gets you rid of dryness and dandruff.
- Warming up of the body through a steam bath or other heating process to break down the impurities and their subsequent elimination via skin pores.
- Yoga and meditation prove immensely effective for menopause treatment. Females who spare some time daily for meditation have reportedly experienced 60%-70% less untimely perspiration (Hot flashes). Meditation also helps in igniting concentrating power.
- Meditation is likely to be very effective in engaging the brain muscles for considerable length of time and as a result the person is cured of insomnia.
These natural remedies should be supervised by a doctor who is well versed in ayurvedic therapy. Therefore ask a good doctor to guide you through your menopause schedule.
