How does menopause affect the body?

Menopause is an inevitable experience for every woman. Young women and women who have already entered menopause should all know about menopause. Most young people only know that their mothers have entered menopause, and they are unlucky and get scolded all day long. This is also the reason why women hate others saying that they are in menopause. People equate menopause with mental disorder. When a woman enters menopause, the biggest victim is not her husband or her children, but herself.

The most prominent symptoms in women are sweating, hot flashes, heat mood disorders, abnormal sensations, insomnia, dizziness, fatigue and other symptoms. In severe cases, menopausal depression or menopausal schizophrenia may occur, requiring appropriate psychiatric drug treatment.

Menstrual disorders, even menorrhagia and anemia. In severe cases, blood transfusion may be required. Continuous menstrual disorders are a high-risk factor for endometrial cancer.

Body shape changes. Most women will become obese when they enter menopause. This is due to changes in female hormones and blood lipid metabolism, which causes weight gain.

After entering menopause, osteoporosis is more likely to occur. About 20% of women over 70 years old suffer from osteoporosis. Every year, 8.9 million fractures occur due to osteoporosis worldwide. About 20% of patients will die within one year after a hip fracture (due to underlying diseases or complications). Among the survivors, less than 50% can restore their pre-fracture functional level and quality of life. So don't think that a fracture is an emergency, it may bring serious consequences and functional impairment.
