Decrease in estrogen as signs of menopause

Posted on December 27th, 2011 by oa

Many women who suffer from allergies develop worse allergies during the menopausal years. The physical and emotional signs of menopause can disrupt your sleep, sap your energy and — at least indirectly — trigger feelings of sadness and loss. There are some occasions when menopause may occur before the age of 40 years old, if this occurs, it is considered a premature or early menopause and is outside medical norms.
Sometimes the symptoms of perimenopause can be mimicked by other conditions – commonly thyroid disorders, so it’s important anytime you experience symptoms that are different for you that you consult your physician. Menopause is a natural biological process, not a medical illness. During menopause, the activity of the ovaries ceases, resulting in a decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels.
