“Menopause not only means the end of fertility, but also a period of transition – both for the brain and for the whole body” draws attention endocrinologist Dr. Maria Tulpan.
“It’s what we endocrinologists call a neuroendocrine transition period because estrogen has a profound effect on the brain and many other organs in our body. This “reset” involves reorganization of the brain and metabolism during perimenopause and menopause,” explained Dr. Tulpan in the special webinar World Menopause Day.
The webinar was organized on October 18 by Caspa.ro – Community of Patient Associations with the support of the partner Vitavea Sante It solemnly celebrated the international day dedicated to menopause and it was a time of open discussion between patients and experts and clarification of all the unknowns regarding menopause.
What are the changes in menopause
Dr. Maria Tulpan explained the main changes in the body during menopause: “During perimenopause, before the end of the menstrual cycle, a significant decrease in progesterone and estrogen is observed. Progesterone This is the first hormone to decline during this period, and many women begin to notice, around the age of 40, that the menstrual cycle shortens. It also appears One of the first symptoms: insomnia. In addition, estrogen levels fluctuate, sometimes even higher than premenopausal, which may worsen symptoms. “
Many of the symptoms of menopause are neurological in naturetherefore, many women first go to a neurologist, ENT specialist or cardiologist, before consulting a gynecologist or endocrinologist.
Common symptoms include:
- insomnia,
- vasomotor hot flashes,
- night sweat,
- concern,
- depression and
- panic attacks.
All these symptoms are caused by the decrease in estrogen levels.
Dr. Tulpan says it is “important to know that the foundations of chronic diseases are laid at this time, such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass), obesity, type II diabetes, atherosclerosis and hypertension.”
A healthy lifestyle should be adopted at any age, but this transition period is crucial for women’s health, as all negative factors are strengthened and grow faster. Therefore, periodic examinations and discussions with the doctor are very important, and they can contribute significantly to improving the health of any menopausal woman.
“We need to know ourselves and the metabolic risks, because during this period the foundations of our future health are laid. It’s a shame not to live as beautiful and as healthy as possible!” said Dr. Maria Tulpan at the end of her intervention in the webinar.
