Continuation on menopause and its challenges

About two weeks ago,I thought I was going to die, because my heart was beating as if,it wanted to come out of my body. This is my major problem. Anytime this happens,I have to suspend all that am doing,and sit down quitely until I get myself back. You can see the towel I carry about,I sweat more than any woman I know. My kneels sometimes appear not to be there again,too much pain. Is this sickness,or end time thing sir?"

Another friend of Iya Ibeji's said,"they have been in it for about fifteen months now. I don't feel any how,but I want s*x all the time now,I wasn't like that before.I hope am not turning to Asewo now. My sense of attachment to my husband has increased badly. Am more jealous and highly poccessive than before. Apart from these am cool and happy."

By this time,I had concluded my pounded yam,with efo riro. I now move from the dinning table,to join Iya Ibeji and friends in the family sitting area for further discussion.

When I smiled and welcome them all,their contenances changed,they looked too serious.

I smiled again,and told them all that they are passing through is menopause.
And it's not a disease on its own. It is an inevitable biological process in the life of every woman, menopause signifies when reproductive process comes to a halt.
Menopause is referred to as cessation of menstrual periods and ovulation. It is referred to as "Change in life." A woman can experience last menstrual periods between the ages of 40 to50,in some cases a woman may menstruate up to the age of 60years. The average age for menopause is 51years. From this age,the years leading to menopause are characterized by distruption in menstrual cycle and even in the nature of periods themselves. Some women experience menopause with serious discomfort,whilst others do not even have any discomfort at all.
A woman is considered post-menopause when she has passed 45 years of age and she has not menstruated for six months.

Many of the symptoms of menopause had been mentioned by Iya Ibeji and friends above. 25% of women experience distress during this period. These symptoms may last up to five years.

Menopause occurs because production of estrogen and progesterone in the ovaries had greatly decreased. Without the supply of sufficient estrogen,the uterine lining,that is shed during menstruation can not form. This change can occur suddenly,this account for a variety of physical and emotional symptoms.

Please note,that contrary to popular belief that the loss of estrogen experienced during menopause leads to redistribution of fat, contributes to loss of muscle and indeed causes wrinkles, research has proved this to be most untrue.

Women who underwent surgery removing their uterus experience untimely menopause.

Women who were given chemotherapy and radiation therapy as cancer treatment, usually experience instant cessation of menstruation.

Today's women suffer more symptoms of menopause compared to our forebearers,why?
Corporate ladies eat a lot of denatured meals and drinks. Indeed a woman who has menopause discomfort, once told me that everyday she suffered something that could be likened to mental illness. I asked what was her best meal,it was hot bread eaten with Noddles. This she takes at least once daily.

To douse the effect of menopause,if you're currently going through serious emotional and physical distress,a change of life style is a-must-do.

Dietary Guide For Menopausal Women

Eat diets high in raw vegetables like carrots, cucumber, lettuce, cabbage amongst others.

Avoid red meats,wheat and wheat products,sugar, dairy products, coffee,teas not recommended by a professional,greasy foods,fried meals,alchol,all types of soft drinks,and ni****ne.
Alchol and caffeine aggravate the hot flashes

Drinking up to 3 litres of water is very
helpful.

Avoid stress as much as possible.

Daily exercise will assist all women in menopause.

The propensity to have oestroporosis becomes very high at menopause,the tendency is greater when Menopause is induced. Don't engage in activities that may fracture your bone.

Women in Menopause and indeed all women,should learn to forgive others quickly,it helps the healing of the soul and body fast. Indeed the origin of some degenerative diseases could be traced to unforgiveness. Please endeavor to forget very quickly too.

Eating frequent light meals,is preferable to eating 3 heavy meals,this discourges the hot flashes

Avoid smoking and secondary smoke.

Junk or fast foods are fingered as frequent trigger of hot flashes.

All manufactured meals and drinks should be avoided completely. Adherence to the foregoing,will grant every woman soft landing during menopause.

Herbals For Menopause.

Menopause affects women differently,therefore herbal combination for everywoman is suppose to be tailor-made. There is an erroneous belief that once the homonal herbs are given,all menopausal symptoms will disappear. It's beyond that. Professional herbal therapist now know that, for a menopausal woman who is down with these symptoms,to be up and doing,her emotional well-being should be the priority,in consideration of her herbal needs.
Herbs like chamomile,valerian,hops must be included in her pack.

Hormonal herbs like black cohosh, donquai,vitex should be included.
During this period, immunity may run low, astragalus will help. Ginko Biloba is good for blood circulation,and it enhances memory.

Vitamin E is good. Evening Prime Oil works well on menopausal women.

It's important you get a professional guidance from a certified herbal practitioner,who will help you turn the above named herbs into just one tea or two, with appropriate guidance on dosage.

Today Iya Ibeji and co had embraced changes in life styles and taking appropriate herbal remedies,as advised by a certified herbal practitioner. And life is treating them better even in menopause.

My advice to all Menopausal Women is to eat healthy and adhere to the foregoing. Use of herbs is equally important,but please seek professional advice.

Women are encouraged to ensure that their husbands read this,to prepare them for the encounters ahead.

Men should anticipate a change in the lives of their wives as the get close to menopause. These changes may affect their relationship with their spouses negatively,men are encouraged to use maturity in dealing with the emotional breaks of the woman in menopause.

In some homes, menopausal disposition of wives,had led the entire family into irreversible disaster. If only men appreciate the enormity of emotional and physical trouma women go through at this time,men will give more support and have better understanding. Women in menopause with negative symptoms need men's kindness,deep understanding and support even more than a pregnant women.

Let this discussion continues on other platforms.

Please share with your family and friends.

Menopausal Disposition And Challenges

It was about 3pm on the 20th of December,my cousin called me, telling me his wife has been
facing a lot of health challenges lately. They had gone from one primary health institution to the
other. They had visited two referral health institutions,one at Ilesha and the pioneer teaching
hospital domicile in Ibadan. They knew I would be coming home for Christmas around 22nd of
December,it was a disrest call,it appeared urgent and life threatening.
I got home in the evening of 22nd December,and behold my cousin was there to usher me in to
my apartment. Unknown to me that his wife was in his car parked outside.
When my luggage had been taken in and I had settled down,he went out to bring his wife.
Madam was working like an old woman and she had just celebrated her 59th birthday then.
I inquired what was the problem. Madam opened up to me it tears," I have lost all in my
savings,and I don't understand myself any longer. My health has gone poor lately. I sweat a
lot,even when others are cold. I sweat too much at night now,that I hardly sleep. Sometimes am
cold at night,that Baba Ibeji( her hubby) will cover my whole body with all the clothes in the
house,I will be vibrating like grinding machine,in few minutes,I will be very hot again. My joints
ache me more these days, sometimes it's like my arms are disconnected from their suckets. I
feel dizzy these days to the extend that I can't go to the market unaccompanied again." I turned
to the husband what other challenges does she have from your perspctive. "Since this problem
started few weeks after her 58th birthday,she had totally abstained from s*xual in*******se with
me. I wonder. I have tried my best possible efforts to help her,she has suddenly become more
erratic and highly irritable. This is not the Iya Ibeji that I married,she has changed. She quarells
with everybody at home and talks any how. At first I thought it was a spiritual attack,so we
moved from one church to another,but nothing seems to work. Sometime ago,I thought it was a
mental problem. Like I told you on the phone we had gone from hospitals to teaching
hospitals,but all to no avail. This made me to put my hope in alternative medicine,hence our
coming to see you."
"What type of sickness is this,we call it hot and cold sickness. Please help us if there is a way
out of this problem. I don't want Iya Ibeji to die o"
I told them to allow me to take my pounded yam hot, whilst they were waiting for me to have my
dinner,some of Iya Ibeji's friends had come to check her,to confirm that I had proffered solution
to her problems. They were six in number. They came in greeted me and sat with their friend of
old. One of them Iya Eni said,"excuse me sir,sorry to disturb you during your meal,but I must
report myself to you. Am having similar problems like Iya Ibeji,but my own is far more. Why?
These days I just cry like a baby,small thing,I find myself crying. My night cry is worse,one day I
cried from 10pm till Dawn,on that particular day my husband showed me the balance in his
account and transferred every Kobo there to me but, that could not stop me. Sir,am I about to
die or I have run made already,I feel that way. I lost confidence in my person lately. I had always
been the most sociable teacher in my school,but that is past tense now. Am very shy now and
hate public outings. Sir my memory is almost gone completely. If I remove a dress now, it's hard
to remember the dress I just remove. To remember my pupil's names these days is a big
problem. One thing I thank God for,is my energy level has increased tremendously. I can wash
clothes from morning till evening, provided that, sweating has not taken over control of my life. I
have headache daily now.

To be continued.

Dr Leye,i love all you wrote on your page and want to be educated on my health challenge .
I married three years ago and I had been suffering from staph and low s***m count,a little while after our marriage. My wife is not better anyway,she has pelvic inflammatory disease and staph. We have used many antibiotics from many doctors,but none seem to be working. What do you advise we do because we are tired of all this.

Kakadu Epe(not real name)

Dear Kakadu,
It may not be possible to evaluate you on this forum,a lot of patients do have similar challenges.
When you have infection that had refused to go,you may want to guide against re-infection as advised under
* Take off your bedsheets and boil them,by the time you commence your antibiotics treatment. Ensure you iron them before,you reuse them.
* Take your medication as prescribed by your health provider.
* Before you start your treatment,get rid of all your underwear and those of your wife. It is best to burn them. Get new pants,preferably cotton pants. As you use a pant for a day,you shall boil them and iron them before use.
* Try and avoid public toilets as much as possible.
* You and your wife must wash your hands with soap and water before you have s*xual in*******se.
* You both must not have extra marital affairs
* Be careful with public doors handle,they are known to abhor bacteria a lot. Wash your hands with soap and water after a public outing.
* Please clean all door handles in your house with disinfectant on a daily basis.
* The iron law of toilet use is,intending users,should wash their hands with soap before using the toilet. After concluding toilet affairs,another hand wash should be conducted. Washing hand basins are best located outside the toilet by the toilet door.
* Fumigate your house at least once in a quarter.
* A woman using the toilet should clean from the back.
* Do not have unprotected s*x throughout the duration of your treatment.
*Clean up after s*x,should be done with tissue paper,properly kept in water and dust proof nylon. Some women use the pants they remove to clean,some use handkerchiefs,whilst some simply remove the tissue in visitor's toilet for the purpose. This may encourage reinfection.
* Do not use other people's pants and do not allow anyone to use your pant.
* People who use secondhand pants should stop forthwith,to avoid bacterial infection.
* Ties are hardly washed,the may remain undry cleaned forever. Ties researches now point to them as having capacity to abhor bacteria infection. If you use ties,ensure you dry clean them often. Doctors' ties rub on many patients every day,medical research point to the fact that doctors ties have high propensity to spread bacteria infection from one patient to the other. Be careful of doctor's ties.
*Men who do not wear under pants may have higher disposition to being reinfected,whenever they have bacteria infection. Wear cotton pants,boil and wash as prescribed above.
These will go a long way in helping you win your war against bacteria infection now and in future.

The foregoing not withstanding, please seek medical advice from a professional health practitioner.

It is important that s*xually transmitted diseases be detected on time,so that they do not cause irreparable damage to the body especially to men and women looking for the fruit of the womb. The best way to know you have an infection is by conducting a laboratory test. Your professional health provider will help you out on this.
I give here under some early symptoms of some s*xually transmitted diseases.
Candidiasis

Thick odorless va**nal discharge. Pains when urinating and itching in ge***al area.

Chlamydia. Women will experience white va**nal discharge that resemble cottage cheese. They will also experience burning sensation when urinating. Itching and painful in*******se. For men a clear,watery urethral discharge. However many times no symptoms for men.
Ge***al Herpes
Itching,burning in the ge***al area,pains while urinating. Watery va**nal or urethral discharge. Fluid-filled eruptions in the va**na or on the p***s.

Ge***al Warts
Soft,cauliflower-like growth in clusters or singly in and around,a**s,va**na,groin or scrotal area.

Gonorrhea.
Women may experience frequent and painful urination. Cloudy va**nal discharge may occur. Vaginal itching and inflammation of the pelvic area ,re**al discharged and abnormal uterine discharge may be presented.
For men yellowish,pus-filled urethal discharge. However in most cases there may be no symptoms in women.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
A pus-filled va**nal discharge. Abdominal pains.

Syphilis.
Sore on the genetalia,rash,patches of flaking tissue,sore throat,sore on the mouth on the a**s.

Trichomoniasis
For women: va**nal itching and pain. There will be greenish or yellow foul-smelling discharge. For men a clear urethral discharge.

Many more of these s*xually transmitted diseases have no symptoms at all,and some of them are capable of precluding you of your dream of having your own baby.
Indeed,in many patients the battle of infection is the only one they need to win before they start having their babies.
Mr Kakadu had a conference with me some days ago. Details of our conference will be made available to the house very soon. Am sure you will find information therein very useful. It will come under Matters Arising.
Sexually transmitted diseases can cause irreparable damage in both men and women. Whenever you feel you have one,consult your health provider. Whenever you are diagnosed as having one,get treated on time,before a damage occurs.

Infertility is inability of a couple to to get pregnant,after having unprotected s*x during ovulation for a period of twelve months or more. It could also be defined as inability to carry pregnancy for a full term.
Infertility may be primary,for someone who has never been pregnant in her life. It may also be secondary for a couple who had one or two children but are unable to conceive there after.
In the years past,we had thought that infertility was only a woman's problem. However we were wrong,today about 40% of infertility problems come from the men. We can not successfully attend to infertility challenges of a couple without involving the man.

CAUSES OF INFERTILITY
INFECTION
During one of my visits to Abuja in the year 2000,i met a lady working in the a big government hospital Laboratory who informed me of discovery of a new bacteria infection not know to man. She said new discoveries are made daily.
Introduction of oral contraceptives made s*x a free-for-all affairs. This particularly encouraged unprotected s*xual relationship. By implication,s*xually transmitted diseases are transferred amongst partners. Some of the infected persons have symptoms,while some have no symptoms at all. Year in year out those without symptoms live normal life without treatment.
The bacteria enters the woman's ge***al tract thereby causing a continual damage. Certain bacteria can affect the fallopian tubes adversely to the extent that conception will be impossible. Bacteria in the ge***al tract of a woman if in contact with the male's s***m may affect the shape,structure and the motility of the s***m adversely. The foregoing will surely preclude the woman from getting pregnant and may make her to experience premature menopause.
On the other hand the man who has certain bacteria infection,may affect his s***m adversely to the extent that he may not be able to impregnate any woman.
What can we do about infection? Why has it been one of the culprit in couples' search for pregnancy. Why is it difficult to get rid of bacteria infection?
I will try to answer these questions and others in my next series.

Share this with your family and friend,advising them to like my page. Be expectant.
