As our bodies age, things change. In many cases, those changes are positive, but sometimes they can lead to unanticipated symptoms and side effects. Menopause is perhaps the single greatest time of change for a woman, and it can lead to a very wide range of symptoms that can cause worry and stress. Thankfully, if you understand those symptoms and work with a trusted medical practice in Tampa, there is no reason they should have a negative impact on your life. What effects might menopause have on your body, though?
It’s All about Hormones
While many of the changes you experience during menopause can seem as though they are physical, they’re all tied to a change in hormone levels. Hormones chemicals produced by the body that regulate actions and activities. They affect everything from hunger to hair growth to libido. When menopause strikes, the level of hormones within your body changes, sometimes drastically. Those changes are what lead to the symptoms you might experience.
Common Symptoms of Menopause
There are many symptoms that women associate with menopause. For instance, hot flashes are perhaps the most commonly thought of symptom. Mood swings can also be symptoms. Other symptoms include sleep issues (insomnia, insufficient REM sleep, tossing and turning, etc.), as well as reduced libido, changes to your menstrual cycle and PMS symptoms, and weight gain.
How to Fight Back
While all women will eventually go through menopause, there is no need to suffer the dramatic symptoms of aging. Working with the right Tampa clinic can ensure that you have access to advanced hormone therapy treatments. These help to balance your hormone levels and stave off the physical discomfort and emotional ups and downs so commonly associated with this period in a woman’s life. Not only does this help to ensure that you are more comfortable physically, and more emotionally stable, but it can have a positive impact on your libido, and it can even help to extend your lifespan.
