Thank you very much Ms Eilleen for sharing this..i am suffering now of itchiness in my arms after of almost 18 yrs.in menopause..i was very worried but after i saw this, it also part of my menopause journey..again thanks a lot.
I thought I was going loopy. I would take a shower and then feel itchy later on. Thank you for these videos because without you I wouldn't get any help from my Dr.
Thank you so much for this video. I thought I was losing it. You have answered all of my questions I needed answered as I am experiencing all of these symptons.
Thank you for the lovely recommendation! Such a great video packed with tips 👏 well done team A.Vogel for always spreading the word on intimate health!
Thank you for covering this.. I also have had that creepy crawly feeling at odd times.. I can not express how important it is to follow tip no. 3.. My eyes had started acting up (drying out) and I went to my eye doctor. He also had said my dry eye could be a cause of going through changes (he was very tactful, and I was thankful for that.. Haha) . but after a more indepth look into my eyes, he found another problem had been forming. Please, do not ignore your eye health!
This is so true, I would scratch the upper part of my thighs until they would bleed, I would take two aspirin such seams to help, sometimes I would take a shower and that didn't always help, I thought I was going to lose my mind, I wanted to jump infront of a big truck, it makes me hold my breath so I can't take real deal breaths.
Thanks Doctor great info as alway. Itching is my main problem í itch all over í use a hair Bush to scratch and at time i scratch so much i blister my skin.
Thank you for all the information Before I started HRT ,formication was a big problem Literally felt as if bugs were crawling all over me Really disturbing
I know this was a while ago, so hopefully you get this. Oh my god I have this, and initially it was only starting in the evenings when I would try to sit down and relax. So dr gave me an anti depressant that helps with itch and helps me sleep, but the side effects are awful. I want to talk to her about hrt but don’t know where to start. Mind if I ask what your on, or how you got it?
@@Sumermak Hi,Summer I’m on Trisequens HRT is prescribed here by all Gynecologists and costs about 7 dollars a month Very effective Take care Warm Hugs from Amman Jordan Middle East
I had a spot itch for several months! That is 1 particular spot on the back of my shoulder would itch. It was maddening. I used to put moisturiser to calm it down. Thankfully reduced now.
My skin is awful. I itch so much my skin is bleeding and sore. It never goes away. I’ve tried everything dermatologist tell me it’s cholenergic urticaria! I’m so fed up with it my skin is a mess. Thankyou for your videos, always helpful
I feel like I've aged 40 years after the last 3 year onslaught known ever so eloquently as 'pemenopause', but I would like to take creative licence and call it 'torture'!!! I have been a trooper thinking this is a natural process (I've never taken the pill and avoid even paracetamol), so am stupidly thinking it will pass, and to harden up. But it is driving me crazy. I've had all the symptoms (my periods were always standard, on time and I didn't get cramps or heavy bleeding...). I did however suffer during my two pregnancies. It started for me with intermittent spotting (I went through numerous tests for 6mths thinking something was seriously wrong, the doctors not once said it could be the start of perimenopause (@43). It was frightening!). By the time I got the all clear, I had stumbled across the idea a was starting to go through the changes, and when I suggested that to the doctor, she vaguely answered as if not to invite any repercussions if she wrote it off as just that. It was quite a disservice to me. So, I then graduated to heavy heavy clotted bleeding for weeks on end, a break here and there. I lasted 1 year and a half soldiering on, when suddenly I nearly collapsed. Unsurprisingly, I'd become severely anaemic. So I stared a concerted effort of liquid Spartans iron supplements, and a diet rich in all sorts of nutrient rich food. It took 6 weeks for me to become stable, 6mths to get back to full strength as I was still bleeding heavily. I've not worked, have had other niggling symptoms here and there, but 3 mths ago I broke out in hive blisters all over my legs arms and hands. I thought I'd been bitten by a hundred mosquitoes. To date, I get ALL the rashes - hives, watery blisters, hard pimples under the skin and prickly heat up around my head chin neck and decollatage. I had to change my diet again to exclude culprits. It's worse at times - usually at night or after a nap.sometimes I sit up for hours just waiting for it to pass. When heat waves through my body I know it coming to an end and I try so hard not to scratch because I have unsightly spots that make me look like I've had the pox.
Hi Symptoms such as rashes, spots, itching are often caused by an adrenaline surge maybe triggered by situations such as stress, low blood sugar levels or dehydration. It may be an idea to do a two week diary where you note not only what you eat and drink but also when (and also how you feel emotionally) just to pinpoint if any of the above apply. Make sure that you drink plenty of plain water every day as this helps to 'flush' adrenaline out of the body. Acupuncture can sometimes be effective for this kind of scenario, so worth looking into. Best Wishes Eileen
Thank Eileen always informative at 48 my skin has changed alot I have black skin and has always been relatively in good condition but i have had a whole host of skin issues in perimenopause. Also my eyes are very dry despite drops oils and supplements it's a real battle. Keep up the good work x
Aloe Vera gel applied gives instant relief! Smeared over the itchy body sites affected, in my own case I experience it around my breasts and torso in general. I keep a jar of Aloe Vera gel (discovered more effective than lotion) close to my bedside when for no apparent reason the itching will wake me out of a deep sleep and literally drive me crazy! The Aloe Vera gel instantly soothes it and I find I can easily return back to sleep. Thank you for the other helpful tips … will be trying Nettle tea to see if this helps.
OMG, thank you so much for doing this video. I am 48 years old and perimenopausal. I sometimes have periods twice a month, and I never know when, but I've been getting severely severely itchy allover my body the week before my period and during my period. I noticed it's when I eat histamine foods like coffee and avacodo and chocolate. I get dizzy and anxiety as well. Now I know what's causing it. Hormones:0( Does this go away after full menopause happens?
Hi Lori Great to hear that you have found this helpful! It does usually go as hormones start to balance out but it's still a good idea to treat it as much as you can. Best Wishes Eileen
I went to a Naturopath and she said that perimenopause and menopause can lower our progesterone and estrogen thus causing our system to dry out. I was on progesterin (synthetic chemical for endometriosis) birth control pills and once I stopped this past May, my sensitive skin and scalp went crazy and constantly itchy causing severe insomnia. As per my Naturopath, I’ve just started the progesterone (natural hormone) at a low dose 100mgs (since I’ve always been hypersensitive to everything). If things don’t improve in 4 weeks, the progesterone will be slowly increased and I might have to try estrogen later. But I’m also starting to eat freshly ground flax seeds and hemp hearts with some healthy cereal, plus as many other omega 3 fatty acid foods as possible in hopes of helping this problem. I’m also trying to stop the sugar/chocolate I’m deeply addicted to especially when in pain. And yes, lots of water especially because I deal with chronic pain and medications for the past 18 years on top of it all. My skin slowly started getting itchy at times about 6 years ago (probably when perimenopause started) but is now constantly itchy since stopping the progesterin. Going to try a colloidal oatmeal bath too just to try and relieve it temporarily. And now after watching this and doing some of my own research, I’ll try Nettle tea and Neem shampoo too. Thank you.
My problem of 20 yrs + is itchy bum at night . Had tests been to skin specialist etc no solution just antihistamines I will definitely take your tips on board
I have menopause but I’m on hormone replacement & change my patch once a week, if it lasts that long. 🙄 could you do a video about hormone replacement. I’m only 30 & am still experiencing menopause symptoms. I had my surgery 3 years ago.
Hi Daytona Unfortunately, we are not allowed to give specific advice about HRT, only your doctor, nurse or pharmacist cam do this, sorry. If you feel that your HRT isn't really helping then please do mention it to your doctor. They may be able to adjust the dose or offer something more effective for you. Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk thank you! I will. Just wanted to see what you thought but I do appreciate your honesty & the advice that you already give. It’s been truly helpful.
I have allergies even before but now it is much much worse. If I scratch it gets welted the skin goes swollen. The itch spreads all over. I hate being a woman 😩 I think I will also put water in a big drum outside and let it get expose 24 hours before i use it to expire the chlorine. I will change my soap again, I am using dove but i will change and find something much milder. I can't scrub anymore. I remember my grandma is itching all the time. My cheeks is also sagging so fast i am starting to look like a bulldog, the saggy cheeks and the lower jaw becomes square with saggy fats. 😭
@@AvogelCoUk I'm taking antihismatmine tabs. But sometimes it doesn't work when I get so itchy, but I try my best to control scratching since it spreads all over. If I force myself to ignore, it dissapears.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. Can you pls tell me how much time does it take to get rid of rashes all over body during pre menopause?
Hi Binita Unfortunately, this is a really difficult question to answer as it can be different for every woman and may depend on what exactly is causing the rashes, sorry. Best Wishes Eileen
This has been my issues for almost a decade but living in the desert has made it worst. I went all natural and organic products for 5 yrs now and still nothing....I changed to goat milk bath soap and udder organic body lotion has been the ONLY thing to relieve my total body itch....ezpecially at night when I would go to bed I would feel like a million ants were crawling on me....its horrible
I got all the problem that you describe on this video. First my back is so bad that I scratched it and sometimes even bleeding. So I had 2 blood tests by the doctors and it shows that I’m positive for sjrone ( lupus) which I didn’t believe it. So, after months nothing was helping from drs I took it my own. I started take care my scalp ( like you said), food aloe vera all over my body especially my back and it really help. Thank you for your sharing. Now I understand what I have.
Hi Karen If you're in the UK or Ireland you could try our Neem Shampoo which is recommended for itchy skin and you may find a cup or two of nettle tea a day helpful too. Best Wishes Eileen
I've been itchy none stop for 7 months I'm on the verge of a breakdown !!. Also I'm always very warm/hot I never feel the cold but my skin is cold to the touch. . I got a premenopause blood test 2 weeks ago bit still havnt had results 😢 x
even my hands and sole of feet is itching, and my scalp. I try my best to distract myself and stop it. If i scratch it gets worse and it spreads all over.
@@AvogelCoUk I feel like i really need the hrt. right now I am itching so much but trying my best not to scratch. and I also feel hot all over my extremities. I should scratch anything coz it spreads all over,. I also need to avoid sunlight. I am also putting my water in a drum and expose it for hours to clear out some chlorine. I feel like I have chillis all over. itch itchy and hot. my skin is super dry. I keep moisturize but it never works. i think hrt is the only solution.
Hi can menopause cause a pain on lower right side and the feeliings of movement in the uterus? I did have a CAT Scan and an internal exam all came back normal. Thank you Cat
Hi Cat Pain on the right side may be due to digestive issues, especially if you tend to get constipation or sluggish bowels. Drinking lots of plain water may help, if this is what it is. I have not heard of movement in the uterus (unless this is related to the digestion as well) so not sure what this could be, sorry. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Anita Yes, this is quite common. You may find a Neem based shampoo can help and try to avoid any chemical products for the hair as the scalp can become much more sensitive ti everyday shampoos etc. Best Wishes Eileen
There are lots of different indications of the approach to the menopause, the main ones being changes in periods as well as other symptoms such as itching so it may depend on what else is happening with you. Best Wishes
What about if you have one fabriods outside the uterus on the lower right side ,pelvic and periods stop and you not sure if it's monopause or fabriods his causing pain,or if the fabriod have block your periods
Hi Edith I am afraid that this is something you would need to ask your doctor, they should be able to tell with an examination or scan. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Monishaac Hopefully the tips and advice in my video will be of help for you. For improving skin you could take a supplement called Hyaluronic Acid capsules which you can get from most health shops. Best Wishes Eileen
I have developed tiny red bumps which are itchy . I was searching about everywhere ,all of sudden i recalled that i had itchy rashes all over my body when i was pregnant once and they all vanished as soon as i delivered the baby . So i connected this episode with my current menopausal state ( 48 now) and i am so relieved to have an answer . Its not itchy skin but i have little red bumps which itch a lot ,is this can be considered due to menopause . I have dry eyes also for almost past few weeks and yes feel like insect crawling around my ears .
Hi Reena Yes, this is quite a common symptom and may be caused by excess histamine. Drinking plenty of water can often help and you could also have a cup or two of nettle tea daily; this herb is known as a natural anti-histamine. Best Wishes Eileen
This is a good video. What a thing to go through. Just reading other peoples messages.. I can really relate to a lot of it. Its horrible and exhausted. I didn't want to use steroid cream so opted for natural . which does relieve it. Took me a while to get it right. But worth it. I am sure sugar is also a culprit. Can I ask where do you buy the vaginal probiotics? Thanks again.😁
Turning 50 next month. Wake up with achy fingers and in other areas. I was in the sun at a rodeo last Sunday and now my aches appears to be lessened to almost gone. Strange! But I’m not sure if it’s due to Sun exposure or the Estroven (max strength) I started last Saturday and Sunday so i oh two doses. But I ended up no longer taken Estroven because Monday my neck is now having a rash that could be from heat exposure and considering I take BP meds. As a kid I use to get heat rash. I’m all mess up. However I think it’s heat induced because as I sleep and get hot my neck becomes itchy once I’m up moving and not in a fetal position and air gets to my neck it appears to go away no more itching. I put some Colloidal silver it helped with itchy and redness. Is there anything else I can do?
Hi Tracy The herb Nettle is a natural anti-histamine so you could try 2 cups of nettle tea daily or try a nettle tincture. Just remember to drink lot of plain water too, as dehydration will make the itching worse! Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk ok. Thanks for the reply. I've been trying to talk to a few women friends about menopause. They seem to say "oh yeah a little bit of this happened and that was it." Ok. My mother and grandmother passed away when I was younger. I dont have them to talk to now that these things are happening. Glad that some women here have the same things I do.
Hi Um Mu I have posted a vlog on this and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/6-common-vaginal-problems-during-menopause/ Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Hormonal; changes can cause skin issues such as spots and acne. Very often, drinking plenty of plain water and taking some liver supporting herbs can help such as dandelion and/or artichoke Best Wishes Eileen
Hi can you help me I am having itching really bad after sex on the clitorios an around the vagina even the hair like when I shave there an under the arms also can I use the sea buck thorn oil an rub the vigana with it
Hi It is best to take the Sea Buckthorn orally and not apply to that area. For itching and discomfort, I would suggest a combination of St John's Wort Oil and a vaginal probiotic Best Wishes Eileen

Hi can menopause cause a pain on lower right side and the feeliings of movement in the uterus? I did have a CAT Scan and an internal exam all came back normal. Thank you Cat
Hi Cat
Pain on the right side may be due to digestive issues, especially if you tend to get constipation or sluggish bowels. Drinking lots of plain water may help, if this is what it is.
I have not heard of movement in the uterus (unless this is related to the digestion as well) so not sure what this could be, sorry.

@@AvogelCoUk Hi yes, I do have IBS - this could be a new symptom. Thank you for replying 🐱
Me too I have lower right side with lower back pain
Can you be itching so bad on the scalp? Tks
Hi Anita
Yes, this is quite common. You may find a Neem based shampoo can help and try to avoid any chemical products for the hair as the scalp can become much more sensitive ti everyday shampoos etc.

I do. Almost burns
I’m 48 yrs, my whole body itches and it worsens during my monthly periods. Does it mean that am reaching menopause?
There are lots of different indications of the approach to the menopause, the main ones being changes in periods as well as other symptoms such as itching so it may depend on what else is happening with you.

Hi Edith
I am afraid that this is something you would need to ask your doctor, they should be able to tell with an examination or scan.

Can a fibroid block your period? I have one.
Im 45 is it normal to miss a period during menopause? I've been regular every month but for some reason I skipped this month.
@@starlite7785 Yes, that’s normal. I skipped 3 months before it came back. I was hoping menopause was approaching but it showed back up. Ugh! 😢
Around the neck itching and the whole body.what should we use.the texture of skin changed
Hi Monishaac
Hopefully the tips and advice in my video will be of help for you. For improving skin you could take a supplement called Hyaluronic Acid capsules which you can get from most health shops.

I have developed tiny red bumps which are itchy . I was searching about everywhere ,all of sudden i recalled that i had itchy rashes all over my body when i was pregnant once and they all vanished as soon as i delivered the baby . So i connected this episode with my current menopausal state ( 48 now) and i am so relieved to have an answer . Its not itchy skin but i have little red bumps which itch a lot ,is this can be considered due to menopause . I have dry eyes also for almost past few weeks and yes feel like insect crawling around my ears .
Hi Reena
Yes, this is quite a common symptom and may be caused by excess histamine. Drinking plenty of water can often help and you could also have a cup or two of nettle tea daily; this herb is known as a natural anti-histamine.

@@AvogelCoUk thank u
I'm not alone.thanks for sharing.
Applying coconut oil to the affected area helps
This is a good video. What a thing to go through. Just reading other peoples messages.. I can really relate to a lot of it. Its horrible and exhausted. I didn't want to use steroid cream so opted for natural . which does relieve it. Took me a while to get it right. But worth it. I am sure sugar is also a culprit. Can I ask where do you buy the vaginal probiotics? Thanks again.😁
Hi Kate
If you are in the UK or Ireland you can get Optibac from most health shops and some pharmacies.

Which products did you use to stop the itching?
@@BlackVelvetMagazine aloe Vera gel & calendula lotion . sometimes mixed a small amount of lavender essential oil .
Turning 50 next month. Wake up with achy fingers and in other areas. I was in the sun at a rodeo last Sunday and now my aches appears to be lessened to almost gone. Strange! But I’m not sure if it’s due to Sun exposure or the Estroven (max strength) I started last Saturday and Sunday so i oh two doses. But I ended up no longer taken Estroven because Monday my neck is now having a rash that could be from heat exposure and considering I take BP meds. As a kid I use to get heat rash. I’m all mess up. However I think it’s heat induced because as I sleep and get hot my neck becomes itchy once I’m up moving and not in a fetal position and air gets to my neck it appears to go away no more itching. I put some Colloidal silver it helped with itchy and redness. Is there anything else I can do?
Hi Tracy
The herb Nettle is a natural anti-histamine so you could try 2 cups of nettle tea daily or try a nettle tincture. Just remember to drink lot of plain water too, as dehydration will make the itching worse!

@@AvogelCoUk Thanks so
Much everything you share makes so much sense.
I've been itching on my arms and shoulders and back. Is that a normal area?
Yes, itchy skin can literally appear anywhere!

@@AvogelCoUk ok. Thanks for the reply. I've been trying to talk to a few women friends about menopause. They seem to say "oh yeah a little bit of this happened and that was it." Ok. My mother and grandmother passed away when I was younger. I dont have them to talk to now that these things are happening. Glad that some women here have the same things I do.
I had perineal private part itchy almost 1 year
Need advice ??

Does manapores give you small itchy dry pimples
Hi
Hormonal; changes can cause skin issues such as spots and acne. Very often, drinking plenty of plain water and taking some liver supporting herbs can help such as dandelion and/or artichoke

Hi can you help me I am having itching really bad after sex on the clitorios an around the vagina even the hair like when I shave there an under the arms also can I use the sea buck thorn oil an rub the vigana with it
Hi
It is best to take the Sea Buckthorn orally and not apply to that area.
For itching and discomfort, I would suggest a combination of St John's Wort Oil and a vaginal probiotic
