First things first, let\u2019s find out which are the\u00a0phases of the reproductive cycle<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

MENARCHE<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is the first menstruation of a woman\u2019s life;<\/p>\n

PREMENOPAUSE<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is the period from 3 to 7 years before menopause, which means this is the last 3 to 7 years of fertile age (the phase that begins the climacteric);<\/p>\n

MENOPAUSE<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is the last menstruation in a woman\u2019s life;<\/p>\n

POST-MENOPAUSE<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is the period that begins after the last menstruation, which means, after the menopause;<\/p>\n

CLIMACTERIC<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is the period that encompasses premenopausal and the early postmenopausal years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is during the climacteric that a woman\u2019s body undergoes a series of physiological changes that can affect her quality of life. So, let\u2019s find out all about the effects of menopause!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Reduction in Estrogen Levels<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Low estrogen levels can cause a range of symptoms like irregular menstrual cycles marked by hormonal fluctuations that are often accompanied by hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, hair loss, dry skin, and vaginal dryness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In addition, changes in body fat and loss of bone mass are typical. It is easier to gain weight with fewer calories, and the body starts to have a pattern of fat accumulation more like men, with more fat deposition in the belly and around the waist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Heat Waves<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The waves of heat occur in more than\u00a080% of women<\/strong>. The heat sensation lasts for two to four minutes, and it is often associated with abundant sweating and, occasionally, palpitations. Chills, tremors, and a feeling of anxiety are also common.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Heat waves are one of the most common effects of menopause. It happens more frequently at night, causing intense sweating during the sleep period. In many cases, these hot flashes hamper sleep and exacerbate the symptoms of fatigue and irritation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Marialma\u2019s tips:<\/strong>\u00a0A poorly ventilated room and slightly breathable sheets can help to aggravate the\u00a0nighttime hot flashes<\/em><\/strong>.

<\/div>\n
\n

Insomnia<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Many\u00a0premenopausal women<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0have difficulty sleeping even in the absence of hot flashes. Insomnia can occur up to 7 years before menopause and usually worsens in the last year of premenopausal. Anxious or depressed women tend to be those with more difficulty in sleeping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Dry skin<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The reduction in estrogen levels is also related to a drop in the production of collagen, which is the substance that keeps our skin firm and looking good.<\/p>\n

Therefore, when the production of collagen is changed, the skin becomes thinner, drier, scalier and less youthful. Dryness of the skin can cause itching, which in some cases can be quite uncomfortable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
