Common Menopause Symptoms
1) Menstrual Irregularities - often the first symptom of impending menopause is a change in the length of your cycle. It may be longer between periods, shorter between periods, or a combination of the two.
2) Hot Flashes & Night Sweats - a hot flash is the sensation of “flushing” or a sudden feeling of heat, often accompanied by sweating. When they occur during sleep they are called night sweats.
3) Mood Swings - as estrogen and progesterone decline, some women describe themselves as “emotional.” They report being more easily triggered into strong emotional responses such as sadness, anger, irritability or delight.
4) Sleep problems - during menopause, disturbed sleep may be experienced. It can take many forms, including difficulty to fall asleep or awakening during the night. Menopause can lead to tiredness during the day.
5) Intercourse problems - vaginal dryness and less elastic tissues are common symptoms, because of the effect of a decreased estrogen level. Vaginal dryness can cause pain and irritation during intercourse, including the decline in sex interest.
Common Andropause Symptoms
1) Body composition - if a man is sedentary, he will lose lean body mass which mean that fat mass and a tendency to become obese will increase. And obesity is related to numerous health and wellness problems.
2) Fatigue and low energy - once able to be on the go all day and into the night, now the male’s activity pace slows considerably.
3) Feelings of anger, anxiety, depression, irritability - events or actions of others that once were dealt with easily by the male now become more difficult to deal with during male menopause.
4) Difficulties with quality of sleep - in male menopause, the man can have difficulty in falling asleep, he may not sleep well, and he can have a restless time during the last part of sleep before awakening. Not getting enough quality sleep over time can have serious health consequences.
5) Declining sex drive - not only does the man have less interest in sex, he will also have sex less frequently. A related male andropause symptom is that sex becomes less enjoyable for the man.
Apart from the impacts that menopause or andropause may have on your quality of life, there are other longer-term and silent effects that are hard to treat if you are still threatened by the above symptoms. Those effects can be a risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular.
You can see that menopause and andropause are not that simple but they cause many trouble to health. It is better that you focus on your health today just by regularly going exercise, having enough sleep, taking nutrient food, and taking some supplements that can nourish and boost your hormone levels so that you can get a healthy condition and feel like the youthfulness has come to you again.
