There are women who go through this period without obvious difficulties. However, most women experience all sorts of physical and psychological problems that bother them greatly. Typical symptoms include hot flashes, excessive sweating (especially at night), headaches and joint pain, irritability, inability to concentrate, depression, insomnia, dizziness and heart palpitations. The set of unpleasant symptoms is closely related to the individual fluctuations in hormones during this period. In young women after surgical removal of the uterus and ovaries, these changes can occur suddenly and can be quite dramatic due to the sudden drop in sex hormone levels.
The biggest contributor to the development of difficulties is a lack of the hormone estrogen. It is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis with a risk of fractures, back and joint pain.
Estrogen deficiency is also associated with inadequate collagen and elastin production, reduced hyaluronic acid production in the skin, inability to maintain adequate skin hydration, pigmentation and keratoses, accelerated skin aging, skin laxity and wrinkles. Medicine of today offers the opportunity to minimize the unpleasant effects of this period.
