Hot Flashes

Hot flashes are more than annoying. They are perhaps the most-hated symptom of menopause because they’re visible and can cause embarrassment. You hide mood swings and irritability and you can try to hide fatigue from insomnia. But when a hot flash hits or you’re having night sweats, there’s nowhere to hide.

What Are Hot Flashes?
Hot flashes are sudden, intense episodes of a hot feeling that rushes over your face and upper body. They can hit at any time, with no warning—you’re cool and calm one minute and then drenched and dripping the next. Hot flashes can also cause heart palpations, nausea, anxiety, or dizziness. Hot flashes and night sweats can be draining especially when they occur frequently throughout the day and night.

What Causes Hot Flashes?
Hot flashes are a vasomotor flush. A lowered level of the hormone estrogen tells your body that it’s too hot. Your brain responds by signaling the rest of your body to get rid of the extra heat and your heart, your nerves, your glands quickly work together to cool your body down quickly. What you feel is a rush of heat that can leave you extremely uncomfortable. Some women experience hot flashes as a response to PMS. Hot flashes are also influenced by your lifestyle. For example, smoking increases the intensity and occurrence of hot flashes. And although hot flashes may bring on anxiety, practicing breathing techniques will help you though a hot flash and ease anxiety at the same time.

Insomnia

With all of the demands that life puts on you, you need your rest. Unfortunately, insomnia is a common symptom of peri-menopause and menopause hormonal imbalance that interferes with your body’s repair time and puts a damper on your day—and your health.

What Is Insomnia?
Insomnia is defined as not being able to sleep for at least four hours at a time. It can manifest itself as:

  • Having trouble falling asleep
  • Waking multiple times through the night
  • Waking up and having trouble going back to sleep
  • Waking up too early
  • Restlessness

Night sweats can intensify insomnia worse, interrupting your sleep and leaving you feeling tired and groggy in the morning. Chronic lack of sleep interferes with your life, depriving you of your energy and making it hard to even concentrate.

What Causes Insomnia?
Insomnia is caused by hormonal imbalance, as well as by medications, caffeine, sugar, stress, sleep apnea, depression, anxiety, and physical disorders. However, if you have always been able to sleep until now, your insomnia may be caused by a hormonal imbalance—not a serious disorder.

Many prescribed sleeping pills are addictive and a harmful crutch for treating menopause-induced insomnia. Instead, try relaxation techniques or natural sleep aids to help you get the rest you need.

Night Sweats

Night sweats can happen at any age, but they often become more frequent and more severe during menopause and peri-menopause. Night sweats can keep you from getting to sleep or going back to sleep, contributing to menopausal insomnia. Or they cause you to wake up in the morning feeling cold and clammy from damp sheets with your partner on the far end of the bed. Night sweating can easily become more than an annoyance.

What Are Night Sweats?
Night sweats are an extension of hot flashes, only they occur during the night. They are sudden and intense episodes of a hot feeling that rushes over your face and upper body. There’s no telling when night sweating will hit—you can be comfortably asleep and suddenly wake up hot and sweaty—or chilled from sweat and damp sheets. Many women also experience palpations, dizziness, and nausea. Night sweats will often leave bedding and clothing damp and uncomfortable from the jump between hot and cold night sweating. You usually get up in the morning feeling exhausted from a sleepless night of hot flashes and night sweating.

What Causes Night Sweating?
Menopause and peri-menopause often causes night sweats, but night sweats are not limited to hormonal changes and menopause symptoms. Spicy foods, excessive alcohol consumption and medications can also cause night sweating.

Since night sweats are just like hot flashes while you sleep, they too are the result of a miscommunication between your hormones and bodily systems. A lowered level of the hormone estrogen tells your body that it’s too hot. Your brain responds by signaling the rest of your body to get rid of the extra heat, and your heart, your nerves, your glands and vascular system quickly work together to cool your body. What you feel is a rush of heat that can leave you extremely uncomfortable. Unfortunately, night sweats and menopause go together more often than not.

Low Libido

Low libido is a common symptom of menopause. Some women believe that it’s natural for them to lose their sex drive as they get older, but thankfully, this isn’t true. Many women actually report an increased sexual desire. And for those suffering from low libido, there is help.

Menopause and Sex
Menopause is a great time for sex! Your sexuality doesn’t have to disappear just because you’re getting older. In fact, it can be better than ever. Children are out of the house, your inhibitions are lowered—it’s the perfect time for more intimacy between you and your partner.

Sexual activity is more than just pleasure. It’s important to your health. Sex helps maintain vaginal lubrication that aids in preventing vaginal atrophy and improves the health of your vaginal lining, which in turn improves your overall vaginal health and comfort. Sex and comforting touch also relieves stress and greatly improves your mental well being. There are simple proven ways to overcome vaginal dryness and ease discomfort during intercourse. Your decision to restore your female body to health and enjoy the experience should be based on your desires and needs.

What Causes Low Libido in Women?
Causes of low libido in women include menopause hormonal changes, physical factors, and emotional stresses. Your attitude towards aging plays an important role in your sexual response to touch and orgasm. Depression and stress also contribute to low libido in women. Women are actually aroused by their own pheromones, so if we don’t feel sexy, our sex drive suffers and so do our partners. By simply reclaiming your sexuality you can increase your libido. The saying “what you don’t use you lose,” is true when it comes to low libido and your sexuality and pleasure.
