Menopause (including HRT)

What is the menopause?

Menopause is the normal ‘change’ that occurs to all women as they stop menstruating. The hormone levels change: oestrogen levels fall and androgen levels rise. It normally occurs between 42 and 58 years of age, typically at around 50 years old.
What causes the menopause?

The menopause is caused by the loss of function of the ovaries, the egg- producing organs in a woman. At birth, a woman’s ovaries contain hundreds of immature eggs. Some eggs are released every month, as part of the menstrual cycle that results in monthly bleeding (the period) if an egg is not fertilised. Partly because of this, and partly because many eggs degenerate with age, the egg store gradually becomes depleted. This leads at first to a variety of changes in the menstrual periods such as increased frequency, irregularity and occasional heavy bleeding. At the menopause the ovaries stop producing eggs every month. Levels of the female sex hormones, oestrogens and progesterone, fall, as these are mainly produced by the ovaries. This results in the signs and symptoms of the menopause, such as hot flushes.
What are the common symptoms and complications of the menopause?

Oestrogens are responsible for producing feminine features, whereas androgens, although present in all women, promote masculine features such as facial hair. The symptoms of menopause result from the reduced level of oestrogens and the increased level of androgens and include: Hot flushes, which affect 70 per cent of women going through the menopause and can occur for two to five years

Vaginal dryness, which can lead to uncomfortable or painful sex

Night sweats

Insomnia

Drier facial skin and hair

Facial and body hair growth

Poor memory and concentration

Reduced libido

Urinary problems

The reduced level of oestrogens can also cause long- term effects on the body including:

Osteoporosis, which is a weakening of the bones because the bones lose minerals, mass and density

Increased development of fatty cholesterol deposits in blood vessels (atheroma), which is a cause of heart attacks and strokes

Prolapse of the womb, where the womb drops down into the vagina

Psychological illnesses (eg depression and anxiety) resulting from the unpleasant symptoms due to fluctuating hormone levels and difficulty adjusting emotionally to the change in fertility.

What is the treatment for the menopause?

Self-care action plan

All women will go through the menopause, but a self- care action plan can help prevent the complications of the menopause. This involves:

Daily exercise such as walking. This will help maintain general fitness and reduce the risk of developing heart disease, and will strengthen the muscles and help build up and strengthen the bones to reduce the effects of osteoporosis.

Daily pelvic floor exercises, which involve pulling up the muscles around the vagina and anus. These exercises will help prevent a prolapse of the womb and may also prevent some of the urinary problems by strengthening the muscles involved in controlling urine flow.

Becoming aware of the normal monthly changes in your breasts (women have a very slightly increased risk of breast cancer for every year after the menopause, and this risk is a little higher in those who use HRT). ( See separate factsheet on Breast awareness.)

A healthy well- balanced low- fat diet containing plenty of calcium- containing foods (eg milk products, fish containing bones such as tinned sardines and salmon, and dark green leafy vegetables). A good supply of calcium and vitamin D will help to minimise the effects of osteoporosis.

Zacerous is going on about floorboards!

£300 - £600

Ask friends if they no any good carpenters they could recommend that want any work on the side, they would do it much cheaper than a self employed carpenter who needs to make more money!

The more expensive the flooring the more it cost to fit
