Significant symptoms of menopause include hot flashes and sleep disturbance. It must be a symptom that makes daily life difficult, but more dangerous diseases can await. You should be aware of illnesses that are not present now but may come soon. Estrogen (female hormone) has a great effect on disappearing. What’s Happening to My Body?
1) Stroke (cerebral infarction – cerebral hemorrhage) = It is a disease that endangers life and can leave great aftereffects such as paralysis of the body and language disorder. As the effect of estrogen wears off, blood vessels in middle-aged women can accumulate greatly increased triglyceride-cholesterol, which can block blood vessels in the brain (cerebral infarction). When a blood vessel ruptures, it is a brain hemorrhage. Severe headaches, paralysis on one side of the body, and slurred speech are the main symptoms (data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Menopausal women can make a reservation for a healthy old age if they are conscious of a stroke before symptoms appear and pay attention to blood pressure management, food control, and smoking cessation.
2) Bone loss – Osteoporosis = There are a series of cases in which older people die after falling and getting sick. After a few months of hospitalization due to a broken hip joint, the body rapidly deteriorates and the immunity drops sharply. This is because bone loss-osteoporosis has progressed without my knowledge and bones are easily broken. When estrogen, which protects bones when young, disappears, middle-aged women are at high risk of fractures even with minor shocks. From early middle age, you need to pay attention to calcium and vitamin D to prevent your bones from weakening significantly.
3) Obesity = When menopausal women gain weight, estrogen disappears. The triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the body increase significantly. The waist gets thicker, the muscles shrink, and the subcutaneous fat gradually increases. Obesity is also a disease. Excessive weight gain not only does not look good, but also increases the possibility of getting diseases such as metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. You need to manage your diet in advance and prevent excessive weight gain through exercise.
4) Arthritis = When estrogen disappears, the skin becomes thin and joints become weak (data from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Even a minor shock can cause knee pain. If you are overweight, the load on your knees increases, which is even worse for joint health. Middle-aged people should be careful when descending the mountain or descending the stairs. Arthritis also has a great impact on quality of life. Severe arthritis makes it difficult to walk and hinders a happy old age.
5) Dementia = The number of women with dementia is about twice that of men. This is a worldwide phenomenon. Many studies have shown that the risk of Alzheimer’s disease increases when estrogen, which protects nerve cells in the brain and helps memory, disappears. There is also a thesis that the mortality rate of Korean women from dementia is 1.9 times that of men (Korea Health Research Journal). Vascular dementia, which is a sequela of stroke, is also common in dementia. You shouldn’t be careless because you’re middle-aged. You need to pay attention to maintaining cognitive function through exercise and brain activity.
