<description><![CDATA[Women start experiencing the signs of menopause after they cross their mid 40s. 
The age when these signs become evident is not the same for all women. Some 
start getting signs at 40, while some others get signs a little later, at 48 or

you realize the symptoms as they begin to strike, you would be able to treat 
them completely. One of the main reasons for

<description><![CDATA[If you were to ask women nearing time for the “change of life” what they fear most, the majority would say the dreaded menopause weight gain.  It is not an issue of vanity but a real concern for a number of reasons.  For starters, let us ask – is <a href="/00073.shtml">weight gain</a> common for women going through menopause?  The answer – unfortunately yes but these changes appear to be closely connected to both behavioral and physiological changes often seen with aging more than to hormonal changes.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[To most of us, this seems like common sense. We joke with family and colleagues all the time about it. &quot;Come on,&quot; we say when a loved one comes home after a stressful day. &quot;You're going to give yourself a heart attack. Relax!&quot; Workers from <a href="/000100.shtml">high stress</a>, bustling environments, like those in Austin, Dallas, and Houston, can probably relate.

<title >Is The Way You Are Sleeping Killing You?</title>
<link >http://menopauseatoz.com/sleep-killing-you.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[Every one of us has a mysterious double life. For about two thirds of the time we are conscious beings, thinking about the world within and without, and negotiating our ways through the obstacles of life. For the other one third of the time we are nearly lifeless lumps of flesh, unconscious to everything but our own fantasies, as we lie flat in bed asleep. We all know that <a href="/sleepwear-for-menopause.shtml">sleep</a> is important for health. But for an activity that consumes about 8 hours of everyday of life, surprisingly little is thought about the act of sleeping, or the way our culture teaches us to sleep. Sleep behavior, like all human activities, is defined by our culture.]]></description>

<title >New Theory on the Cause and Prevention of Hot Flashes</title>
<link >http://menopauseatoz.com/new-hot-flash-theory.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[Women in Fiji have it easy, at least when it comes to menopause. We were in Fiji to study bra wearing and breast cancer, but took advantage of the opportunity of being with these non-western people to ask about the way local women experienced the <a href="/menopause-symptoms.shtml">symptoms of menopause</a>. Margaret Mead, the famous cultural anthropologist, discovered that the discomforts young western women often associate with the "coming of age" were mostly absent for Samoan women. As medical anthropologists, we wondered if the coming "out of age" was any different for Fijian women than for those in the west who complain of various symptoms, such as hot flashes and profuse sweating.]]></description>

<link >http://menopauseatoz.com/heal-urinary-infection.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[Urinary tract infections are quite common and account for more than seven million doctor visits each year. The pain, burning, and interruption of normal living in having a UTI is a very real, painful, and private matter. Embarrassing, though it may be, do not be lulled into ignoring it. A simple UTI when caught early is not that dangerous. However, complications can occur if you can not get rid of it on your own. Be sure to treat it quickly and appropriately. A UTI can quickly spread and infect the kidneys. Kidney infections are a very serious issue, because the sufferer can go into septic shock from such an infection.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Women and men can share the same types of illnesses such as cancer and pneumonia, but women's bodies are way different from men's bodies. Women can develop health problems that men are not able to develop. Some women develop problems with their sexual organs whereas other women may develop problems with their hormonal systems. Whatever the problem is, menopause is a pretty big change in a woman's life. It can be like a roller coaster ride, but if you want to go through menopause a bit smoother you may want to avoid menopause and caffeine in the same sentence.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many women think that they are experiencing what are called menopause heavy periods, but unless they are of the age and experience the symptoms, that might not be what is happening to them. Heavy periods are said to occur when the blood released from the woman is of 80ml or more at a time. Of course, this is not always the case and it is not certain that 80ml is the normal amount, because no woman exactly measures the blood of her period; the amount is just what the doctors have come up based on the descriptions from their patients who have experienced such heavy periods.]]></description>

Normally, in women aged over forty-five, an absence of monthly bleeding in menstruation can be taken to be a sign that the menopause has been reached. In fact, often women of a certain age who are expecting the menopause and have recognised the other symptoms of mood swings and hot flushes will not trouble themselves to find out of they have a menopause FSH level. They will just assume they have reached the menopause by the onset of these physical symptoms.]]></description>

For example, hrt and Lipitor side effects should very likely be carefully weighed before they are used.

When one of those symptoms happens to be night sweats, it can be particularly troublesome. When sleep is disrupted repeatedly, few people can function normally. When that disruption happens to be waking up drenched and cold, it can be particularly disturbing. When night sweats occur around menopause, this phase of life can be to blame. Other sources, however, should also be considered. Sometimes it's something as simple as medications. Zoloft and night sweats, for example, are not at all uncommon.]]></description>
