MENOPAUSE IS THE PERIOD OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH
FROM A PHASE OF HORMONAL CYCLIC ACTIVITY AND THE ABILITY TO REPRODUCE INTO A HORMONAL REST AND THE END OF REPRODUCTIVE CAPACITY. IT CAN BE ACCOMPANIED BY UNPLEASANT SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE SYMPTOMS.
Climacterium and menopause
From puberty to the period of transition, a woman's life is accompanied by cyclical hormonal activity. With advancing age, there are disturbances in this physiologically very complicated. Every woman thus enters the period of transition, or menopause, when her reproductive function. This period is quite difficult for most women, as there are changes and unpleasant symptoms both physically and and their social roles change.
The incipient imbalance of sex control and performance hormones results in a permanent estrogen deficiency. Their presence has a significant protective effect. Their deficiency therefore starts or accelerates many different chronic and degenerative diseases that significantly reduce the quality of life. Preventive measures, which must be comprehensive and timely, are essential to prevent these undesirable changes.
The age of menopause fluctuates around the age of 50. It is mainly determined genetically. The onset of menopause is reduced by 1.5 years by smoking, malnutrition and a certain influence surgical sterilization and hysterectomy.
Premature menopause before the age of 45 (sometimes referred to as 40) can have very serious consequences for a woman's health.
Glossary of terms
CLIMACTERIUM is a phase of aging in women marking the transition from the reproductive phase to the non-reproductive state.
MENOPAUSE is the last bleeding in a woman's life (can only be determined retrospectively, one year after).
CLIMACTERIC SYNDROME is the presence of unpleasant symptoms during this period.
PREMENOPAUSE is a period of several years before the last bleeding, when disturbances in the hormonal activity of a woman are already beginning to appear.
PERIMENOPAUSE is the period including premenopause and the period up to the last bleeding.
POSTMENOPAUSE is the period beginning more than a year after the last bleeding.
GERIPAUSE is the period over 65 years of age of a woman (early) and over 85 years of age (late).
ORGANIC ESTROGENDEFICIT SYNDROME is mucosal atrophy (thinning and reduced mucosal quality) caused by estrogen deficiency.
METABOLIC ESTROGENDEFICIT SYNDROME is the development of metabolic diseases such as dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, impaired glucose tolerance and osteoporosis, accelerated by estrogen deficiency.
Climacteric syndrome - is a set of typical symptoms, characteristic of hormonal changes. The most common symptoms include hot flashes in the head, sudden flushing, sweating, insomnia, heart palpitations and disturbances in its rhythm, trembling and shaking, irritability, insomnia, mental instability and depression, as well as joint pain, etc.
The premenopausal and perimenopausal periods are characterized by irregularities of the menstrual cycle, which are often resolved by surgical
interventions (curettage - scraping, hysterectomy - removal of the uterus).
The postmenopausal period is insidious in that at first a woman has no obvious or serious problems, but then they suddenly appear after a few years as atrophic inflammations of the mucous membranes (vagina, urinary tract, eyes, gums, intestines...) or even later as metabolic diseases (atherosclerosis resulting in myocardial infarction or stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis with fracture, etc.).
Diagnostics
It is based mainly on clinical symptoms and findings during gynaecological examination with evaluation of mucosal condition and also on hormonal examination (almost worthless in the early premenopausal period). An important role is now also played by vaginal ultrasound to evaluate the uterine mucosa. To assess the severity of climacteric questionnaires (e.g. Kupperman index) are used to assess the severity of the menopause.
Classical treatment
The most effective, but often controversial, treatment is hormone therapy. In women with a uterus, it is necessary to administer both hormones, i.e. estrogens and gestagens to protect the lining of the uterus, and estrogens alone in women after removal of the uterus. We refer to these drugs as "HRT or HST"
(Hormone Replacement Therapy). For healthy premenopausal women, low-dose contraception can also be used. In women with premature menopause or more severe estrogen deficiency, HRT is the only causal treatment that leads to an improvement in their health. However, it must be administered at the right time and after a proper gynaecological, internal and mammographic examination, after
elimination of all contraindications and determination of individual risk. It should be tailored to each patient individually. At the same time, there is a whole range of application forms of treatment, from tablets to creams, patches, injections to subcutaneous implants and sprays. Other non-hormonal treatments are of relatively little importance, while drugs with effects on hormone receptors are gaining in importance, which do not have some of the risks of estrogens. In recent years, preparations containing so-called phytoestrogens (substances isolated from plants - e.g. soya and red clover - which also have an effect on hormone receptors) acupuncture, exercise, psychotherapy and others.
