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.

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.
