Women can feel snappy and cranky when dealing with hot flashes and then add other symptoms of menopause like feeling "dry" when having sex with their partners, experiencing night sweats and not knowing if she will have a cycle this month or not are enough to drive any sane women crazy. Having problems like these may lead to only one thing; you are already in your menopausal stage.
What is menopause? Menopause is the permanent stop of the reproductive fertility after some time before the end of lifespan. It comes from the Greek word which means "end of monthly cycles", literally. The term was used to describe women who have changes reproductively where they reach the end of their fertility.
It usually happens in women at their fifties. But some women have their menopause a lot earlier than most women do. The reason for this is that these women differ in lifestyle and nutrition.
Menopause is all about the condition of the ovaries. It occurs when the ovaries are no longer able to perform their natural function. Thus, in becoming dysfunctional and unable to produce the eggs necessary for the sperm to fertilize, they also bring about many un-nerving experiences fro women as well.
The period of menopause is part of the aging process in women. When it happens, the production of estrogen in women will diminish. It will then lead to premenopausal symptoms like mood swings and hot flashes.
The most common symptom is hot flush or hot flash. The changing of the hormone levels that are said to be the characteristic of a menopause is called the hot flash. The cause of this hot flash is not known. But speculations have been made that it may have some connection with vascular instability.
Hot flashes are said to occur due to psychological stress, the hot weather condition, drinking beverages that have caffeine in it or drinking alcohol, and eating spicy foods. Results from studies show that the duration and how severe the hot flush is, vary from one woman to another. Some women have hot flushes that never last long during their menopausal stage. Other women have hot flushes that last longer, it may even occur, in some situations, during their whole life.
