(Question) The fear of menopause is really frightening.

My cousin's older sister is going through menopause.

Why do they scare us so fearfully?

 

Even just at the beginning of this year, while undergoing a cervical cancer screening

Supplements in advance for menopause from the doctor???

I asked about how the food is.

 

However, taking it in advance is not helpful.

I'm not really thinking about anything...

 

I come to our office about once every two weeks and have lunch together.

Every time you come, you scare me like this.

 

My older sister-in-law also says she's starting menopause, haha.

They say they can't sleep at night and are feeling very exhausted.

They say life is suffering... How do you feel?

 

Before menopause even comes, this... I think more illnesses will come due to fear.

 

 

 

 

Hormonal changes are called menopause.

Menopause is the period when the ovaries have fulfilled their role, marking the end of menstruation and fertility. Due to aging ovaries, sudden hormonal imbalances occur. As a result, various symptoms known as 'menopausal syndrome' appear. Menopausal symptoms vary among women and are diverse. They include hot flashes, sweating, depression, insomnia, and musculoskeletal pain.

 

There are foods that can help improve menopausal symptoms when taken regularly.
