At some stage in life, women are expected to go through menopause. This is the medical terminology used to describe the months that follow the final menstrual cycle. It is the last stage of the female reproductive system and often occurs in women who fall between the ages of 40s and 50s. There is no exact age in which this is expected to begin, but there are certain signs that can indicate that it has started. Menopause and slow metabolism often go hand in hand. Many women may gain weight during this stage in life because of the slowed metabolism and all other symptoms associated with menopause.
This process is natural and biological. It is expected to happen in healthy women. The experience will vary by person. Still, there are signs that indicate this stage in life and not all of them are favorable.
Menopause indicates the end of fertility. Still, there are women who remain healthy, sexual and vital following this stage of life. Some are happy to go through this process because it means they will no long have their monthly period and are freed of worrying about pregnancy.
Some of the symptoms are not as desirable. Hot flashes and other physical problems might arise. Women are also expected to be more emotional during this process, frequently dealing with feelings of sadness, anxiety and loss.
The experience will vary by person. Many women will go through a time called perimenopause, which occurs in the years and months that lead up to menopause. Signs and symptoms associated with both of these stages in a women: dry skin, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, weight gain, night sweats, loss of breast fullness, thinning hair, trouble sleeping, changes in mood, hot flashes and slowed metabolism. Often, women will experience more than one of these symptoms at a time.
There are many ways that a slower metabolism can impact a woman. Metabolism is defined as the bodily process in which food and drink consumed is turned to energy. Even when the body resists, it is necessary for it to have energy to carry out processes like cell repair, breathing and circulation of blood. The amount of calories necessary for proper function of the body is known as basal metabolic rate and may differ based on age, body size and composition, and sex.
Menopausal patients might note that they have trouble losing weight and easily gain it. The pounds might add up, even if their diet has not changed. Usually the extra weight focuses in areas where it was never before, which is often the midsection for women. Cracked skin, cellulite, intense sugar cravings and dry hair are other signs of a slow metabolism and menopause.
Women going through this are encouraged to work closely with doctors. These professionals will ensure that preventative care is given to those in need, including pelvic exams, colonoscopy, mammography, thyroid tests and breast exams. Symptoms of this, including weight gain, may be better managed by those who have the adequate amount of vitamins and minerals in their system. Managing stress, regularly exercising and maintaining a balanced diet will also be of benefit.
