Meghna, 50 an influential entrepreneur in Pune found her Perimenopause and Menopause pass as a breeze, she states Her emotional well being since she was 30 and good diet helped her maintain a positive mindset about the whole duration of Menopause.

Anita 45, A housekeeping professional instead is going through a hard time, she complains of irritability, Hot Flushes in the night and mood swings. She said she feels low and not supported on how her health can be better. She belongs to the Middle class which encompasses a huge chunk of Indian population, The average Menopause age for this class is 42 years and about 11% of this population has shown signs of early Menopause, as early as 35 years !!!

Do Hormones really Hijack ?

We are all Energies and Hormones are what usually is driving the major part of us, Let’s talk about it. This Blog also gives you a tool to assess how you feel during each phase of Perimenopause and Menopause.

The STORY of Hormones starts from the two main characters Estrogens and Progesterone. The Ovaries are the source of these two hormones which almost regulate all the reproductive functions of the female body, With age the number of Ovarian follicles decline, As the ovarian has number of ovarian follicles declines and the ovaries become less responsive to the two other hormones involved in reproduction—Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle – Stimulating Hormone (FSH). As your ovaries age and release fewer hormones, FSH and LH can no longer perform their usual functions to regulates your estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. This inevitable change causes a change in the hormones of your body and impacts several organ functions such as Brain, heart and skin etc. Estrogen depletion can bring on a combination of hormonal and biochemical fluctuations that can lead to changes in your brain and nervous system. You may experience mood swings, memory loss, problems focusing, irritability, fatigue, hot flashes, night sweats, stress, anxiety and depression. Physical symptoms, such as hot flashes, mixed with cognitive changes, such as
irritability and memory loss, can create more opportunities for emotional changes and mood swings.

In a research, it has been found that women during Perimenopause and Menopause evaluate and seek affirmation on their role in the society, community and even in the family. This is also the time of
the age when many face separations from kids, loss of spouse, health problems and career dissatisfaction. The inefficiencies of the cognitive processes and the hormonal imbalances present a perfect potpourri for the Emotional mess as the research states.

The Hormone Therapy which is still used sparsely is now considered harmful for health. The Emotional Gamble needs to be settled with more stakes on. The Depression and mood swings during Menopause are under a lot of attention from Therapists as 12% of women seek help during Menopause to come back to terms with life.
