Menopause Myths: What Every Woman Should Know

Symptoms of menopause can last anywhere from 3 to 11 years. Menopause symptoms can also vary by ethnicity.

This article has been fact-checked by Dr Timothy Lim Yong Kuei, gynecologist at Timothy Lim Clinic for Women & Cancer Surgery, Mount Alvernia Hospital, Singapore.

As new studies continue to reshape our understanding of menopause, it’s essential to examine what the science supports versus what remains a myth.

• Myth 1: Hot flashes are the only symptom of menopause

• Myth 2: All women go through menopause at age 50

• Myth 3: The only treatment for menopause is hormones

How Alcohol and Party Food Affect Your Urinary System

Social gatherings often involve indulgence in alcohol and rich, salty foods. While these treats may make celebrations enjoyable, they can take a significant toll on your urinary system. Alcohol is a diuretic, meaning it increases urine production. When you drink alcohol, it inhibits the release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which normally helps your kidneys retain water.

Without sufficient ADH, your kidneys excrete more water than usual, leading to increased urination. This can cause dehydration, resulting in concentrated urine that irritates the bladder and urinary tract. Symptoms may include a burning sensation during urination, frequent urges to go, or temporary bladder discomfort.

Understanding PCOS: Symptoms, Causes and Treatment

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a chronic condition affecting 6-13% of reproductive-aged women worldwide, and up to 70% of women are undiagnosed. It is the leading cause of anovulation, which is when the o***y does not release an egg, and infertility.

PCOS tends to run in families, and its manifestations vary by ethnicity. In a study of Asian American women, the risk of PCOS was higher in South Asian women compared to Chinese and Filipino women, and South Asian women had more hirsutism and an earlier onset than East Asian women. Between 1991 and 2021, the incidence of PCOS increased the most in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Oceania.
