Hello madam , i am from INDIA & facing menopause from 4 long years . At present iam facing burning sensation in genital which is so much irritation. Iam fed up of this female birth which i feel its a curse to be born as a women . I have suffered irregular & heavy periods in these 4 years . I live in a place where there are no proper doctors to consult . We have to go very far from our place to a hospital which is verymuch costly ..... your videos has helped me so much which gives me little relief from these things I wish this thing comes to an end very soon . Thanks a lot for all your concern.. iam 49 , weighing about 68kgs

Hi Eileen, thanks for the information, I had been suffering for many years now. My menopause symptoms is a case all by itself. If I sit or lay down for a period fifteen minutes I get really hot from below..... seemed like my ovaries that heat travels up into my gut, gas is formed,my food if there's food in the stomach gets sour, I get real terrible pain. I feel to vomit, am spitting,I get cold sweats the whole lot. It is TERRIBLE......BUT I listen and the calmness of your voice ,your quiet timely manner of speaking helps
Doctor put me on HRT with blood results for hormones were definitely post menopausal. That was a huge mistake on his part right ?? HRT messed me up so bad and I’m struggling to get my baseline back 😢😢😢😢😢
Hi Yes, it can really upset the hormones by stopping HRT quickly, even if you've only been on it short while. It's difficult to say how long it could take the body to re-adjust as this will be different for every one but, at a guess, I would say at least 3-6 months Best Wishes Eileen
The tingling in arm legs and feet is just unnerving. I have been tested for so many things. Brain MRI, full spinal MRI, brain and neck CT, stomach ultrasound and CT. All blood work is excellent. Heart ultrasound and treadmill test. All good. I have seen an Endocrinologist, Rheumatologist, Neurologist, Cardiologist. All can’t find anything wrong. Also have had a nerve study done. All good! I’m so thankful !! However…the tingling is so unnerving. HRT isn’t for me. Tried it for 10 weeks and it was awful for me. They stopped me cold turkey. My Endocrinologist told me it will take 6 months to a year to get back to my post menopause baseline. She was mortified that they stopped the HRT cold turkey and didn’t wean me off. I’m so sad and just want to feel like myself again. This all makes me feel so defeated.
Hi I've done a vlog on tingling and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look. Acupuncture can often be really beneficial so worth looking into! www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/3-surprising-symptoms-of-menopause-explained/ Best Wishes Eileen
I am 56 years old and my hair fall out as well. Gain weight and can't sleep on my own need something like melatonin to help me. Wear wigs went I go out and I hate wigs, my head gets hot and sometimes I get hot in the face and body is cold. Body aches, feel lonely at times. Patients are very bad. What is good for me, because you know a lot about menopause and I have learned a lot from you. Thank God for you
Glad to be of help. The first thing to do is go and see your doctor; your symptoms could all be caused by a number of issues such as low iron, low thyroid function or low vitamin D. Your doctor can test for these just to rule them out. I would also suggest a phyto-oestrogen supplement such as our Menopause Support or the herb Black Cohosh as both of these are known to gently balance oestrogen. Remember to drink lots of plain water as this can help with joint pains, sleep and anxiety.
Hi Charmain Yes, this is a really common menopause symptom and many women can feel like this at some point. I have posted a video blog on this so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/crying-fear-and-worry-whats-causing-these-emotions/ Best Wishes Eileen
This is really common! You may find taking Digestisan can be of benefit and just remember to drink lots of plain water as dehydration will make this worse. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/cynara-indigestion-remedies/
Hi Eileen, is it common to have costochronditis or pain in rib cage during perimenopause / menopause? I did have a fall and hurt my ribs a few years back, but at that time I did not think much about it after a few days discomfort. But now a days I do get pain in mid chest (I had all heart related tests done not so long back, so its not heart problem)...and am at my wits end how to cope with it. The pain is not very bad, but still it feels and as you can imagine, I do get scared / stressed about it. Please let me know if there is any way to cure / cope with it.
@@anniesherbs No idea. But I did get a complete medical last year (hmm...now that I think about it, it was probably Oct 2017), and I never had liver issues. But I will mention it to the doc at my next appointment. The main problem is that here the only menopausal symptoms that are considered even worth mentioning are excessive sweating or hot flashes. I have neither, but a whole lot of others. They dont even want to listen :(
@@apcca.association I think that they are. Dr Google is not very helpful in this though. Not sure how to cope with it. Right now I am looking for natural remedies / supplements.
Yes, this can happen. We have found that injury done to joints or muscles in the past can flare up in the menopause; because of the damage this area becomes a ‘weak’ point and will usually respond to falling oestrogen first. You may find the herb Devils Claw helpful as this is known as a natural anti-inflammatory and usually works quite quickly. Also practice slow deep breathing several times a day; in this situation, because it is uncomfortable, you can end up shallow breathing and this will make the cartilage even less flexible. Dehydration can also be a major factor, affecting the elasticity of the cartilage, so remember to drink lots of plain water throughout the day. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/devils-claw/
@@AvogelCoUk Hi Eileen, Thanks a ton for your reply! I will definitely buy devil's claw. I'm not very sure if it is available in the natural medicine stores here (have to check). I see that if I order online then the postage is almost as much as the drops cost :( that is why I want to see if it is available in stores. I was wondering if it makes any difference whether one takes drops or tablets (for eg I found this on the website: www.avogel.ie/herbal-remedies/devils-claw-atrosan/) Would they work equally well for the aches/pains during menopaus? Once again, thank you!
I'm just turning 40 I have very irritated nipples for about 6 months now. I don't want to wear a bra. My period is all over the place. But it's so hard to know if it's perimenopause I do intermittent fasting, I eat one meal a day but I have been doing this for 4 years now. I've never had children but never planned to anyway. I'm scared 😢
Hi Jessica The intermittent fasting may be an issue here. If your hormones are starting to change towards the menopause, long periods without nutrients may put extra pressure on the nervous system and this in turn can affect the monthly cycle. Best thing to do is ask your doctor for a hormone test to see exactly what's going on. Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk I just got my results for my follicle stimulating hormone test and I'm at 60 my doctor said I am going through menopause. but now I'm just trying to figure out if that's why my nipples are so irritated and red and tingly
Aloha Eileen I was wonderIng I am in year two of menopause and every month I still have a cycle that creates night sweats and a few discomforts. My question is whats the smell? I have never smelled like this in my life? My armpits smell like I don’t take a bath . Overall I smell like a rotting onion once a month? Any pointers? Whats causing this odor?
Hi Linda Unfortunately, falling oestrogen can cause general dehydration and that can cause a strong odour, also constipation can be a factor too. Just check that you are drinking loads of plain water every day and that your bowels are working well. It may be an idea to swap from an antiperspirant to a deodorant; antiperspirants stop you sweating but this can affect your temperature regulation resulting in sweating elsewhere! Also, wash off any antiperspirants from your underarms before bed to allow the underarms to breath properly during the night.
A.Vogel UK thank you I drink a ton of water. I guess its hormone thing since it happens monthly. I was a menopause case for the books. I am up and down as you see in my comments I have good and bad days. I think overall mind control helped me the most. I listened to podcast that told me I was gonna be Ok. I will try deodorant no biggie so I stink it is better then losing my mind!
i am bleeding for the whole month now(not too heavy) is it normal? and i am expriencing every single day when i woke up numbing hands and leg/hips and shoulder pains is part of perimenopause stage?When i contacting my GP they kept saying it's normal and they don't give me a chance to book an appointment to see my doctor...can you helpplease? what should I do and some advice..Thank you so very much
Hi Chryza If you are still bleeding (sorry for taking so long to reply) it is really important to get back to your doctor, they shouldn't leave you in this state! Just think about it, if you were bleeding like this from anywhere else in your body they would treat you as an emergency! If they ignore you again please go to A&E; this does need investigating. In the meantime you may find aa gentle iron tonic helpful as prolonged bleeding can cause anaemia which in turn can trigger fatigue, anxiety and joint pains! Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Anita Yes, the menopause is different for every woman so the duration of symptoms can be different too. You are considered post menopause after two years without periods but this time scale is more to do with the risk of pregnancy ending. Most women do find that symptoms start to ease off but, unfortunately, for some women symptoms can continue after this point; this can often be due to poor lifestyle, diet and other chronic health issues that may be present. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Juslyn You could try the herb sage as this is known to help with flushes and sweats and usually works quite quickly. Remember to drink lots of plain water as dehydration from the flushes can trigger more of them! Also try a small shotglass of warm water just before bed. Remember not to drink any caffeine drinks such as coffee in the evening and avoid high sugar or salt snacks before be as these can all make symptoms worse! Best Wishes Eileen

Hi Jessica
The intermittent fasting may be an issue here. If your hormones are starting to change towards the menopause, long periods without nutrients may put extra pressure on the nervous system and this in turn can affect the monthly cycle. Best thing to do is ask your doctor for a hormone test to see exactly what's going on.

If you are still bleeding (sorry for taking so long to reply) it is really important to get back to your doctor, they shouldn't leave you in this state! Just think about it, if you were bleeding like this from anywhere else in your body they would treat you as an emergency! If they ignore you again please go to A&E; this does need investigating.
In the meantime you may find aa gentle iron tonic helpful as prolonged bleeding can cause anaemia which in turn can trigger fatigue, anxiety and joint pains!

Hi Anita
Great to hear that things are improving, glad to be of help!
My body is hot everywhere and daily?? What can I do??
Hi Jean
Some women do feel heal rather than experience flushes or sweats; this is usually caused by the same mechanism as flushes so you may find the sage tablets helpful.

Hi Amanda
Yes, many women find that they start to experience menopause symptoms whilst still getting periods.

How long does it take to get your baseline back after coming off of HRT ?
My endocrinologist told me to give my body 6 months to a year to get back to my baseline !
Ugh !!!!!! I should have never started the HRT ! Such a mistake and my poor body is paying an awful price

I have a question about the sleep drops has anyone ever said valerin made their heart race? I am ADHD bad I tried valerin my body didn’t like it. Can you take domeasan without valerin in it? I react weird to stuff like black cohosh made me speed bad. Any ideas?
Hi Linda
Yes, valerian doesn't suit everyone and for a very small number of people it can make sleep worse or even induce nightmares! You could try Passiflora or AvenaCalm to help with sleep.
A.Vogel UK thank you
Hi eleen happy new year eleen I had year no period so it's menupose or post menupose I do not understand differences between menupose pose and postmenupose can you explain pls
Happy New Year to you too, Anita
Many sources say that you are post menopause after 1 year without periods but we tend to say 2 years as, in our experience, quite a few women can get periods back after 1 year.

After menupose joint pain and other body problems go away itself
Hi Anita
It is very difficult to tell as it is different for every woman. I do recommend treating the joint pain in the menopause as this may make it more likely to ease afterwards.

I m from Indian according to you say every women different so menupose 2 years period same for everytone pls let me know .and other thing some said one year after everything going to be normal but I trust your updates video make me so relax l. Midlife going to be bad this time
Hi Anita
Yes, the menopause is different for every woman so the duration of symptoms can be different too. You are considered post menopause after two years without periods but this time scale is more to do with the risk of pregnancy ending. Most women do find that symptoms start to ease off but, unfortunately, for some women symptoms can continue after this point; this can often be due to poor lifestyle, diet and other chronic health issues that may be present.

I get hot flashes d whole nite y not sweating until d next day
Hi Juslyn
You could try the herb sage as this is known to help with flushes and sweats and usually works quite quickly. Remember to drink lots of plain water as dehydration from the flushes can trigger more of them! Also try a small shotglass of warm water just before bed. Remember not to drink any caffeine drinks such as coffee in the evening and avoid high sugar or salt snacks before be as these can all make symptoms worse!
