As reported by numerous females, menopause, the final stage in the cycle of female menstruation, contributes to a significant loss of libido.

Menopause can bring uncomfortable symptoms such as incontinence in several different forms. Even younger women experience occasional bouts of urinary leakage during pregnancy, after childbirth, and sometimes even during sex. But menses seems to bring out more occasions of uncontrollable incontinence.

Most women follow a conventional low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet with lots of processed foods. Eventually this diet creates a condition known as insulin resistance; see Dr. Schwarzbein's book on the book list. When you are insulin resistant, your body converts calories into fat even when you are dieting. Menopause feels like a losing battle, but it doesn't have to be. When you are stressed, as the

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - When administered at doses that lower lipid levels, atorvastatin, sold in the U.S. under the trade name Lipitor, appears to have no effect on bone mineral density or bone metabolism in postmenopausal women, according to researchers.The results of previous laboratory and clinical studies have suggested the commonly prescribed class of cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins "may have very favorable effects on the skeleton," senior investigator Dr. Michael R. McClung told Reuters Health. "This study demonstrates clearly that statins do not have effects on bone in the clinical setting."

The Ayurveda Approach to a Healthy Menopause and Natural Hormone Replacement TherapyMENOPAUSE: IT'S ABOUT BALANCEThe medical community is quickly evolving its understanding of menopause. Following the abrupt, early halt to the HRT portion of the Women's Health Initiative last July, due to findings that Hormone Replacement Therapy's risks outweighed its benefits, headlines now read "Menopause is not a disease, but a normal part of life." Hormone "replacement" therapy (HRT) has become simply hormone "therapy" (HT) in recognition of the fact that replacing estrogen is not natural and brings dangerous side-effects, rather than the fountain of youth once touted.Shocking and novel as these concepts may be to today's medical community, they are nothing new to Maharishi Ayurveda, a consciousness-based natural medical system from ancient India. For over 5000 years, Ayurveda has acknowledged menopause as a natural transition, not a mistake of Mother Nature's that requires hormone replacemen

Identifying the Early Signs of Menopause aka Perimenopause The early signs of menopause also known as perimenopause can occur as long as ten years before the actual onset of full blown menopause. Basically, women in their late 30s up through the 40s can start the perimenopause cycle which is basically the reduction of the production of estrogen. Once the ovaries stop releasing eggs, then a women is in full blown menopause and will experience a full onset of symptoms, those early signs of menopause you may experience for years leading up to the actual event. What to Expect Symptom-Wise Perhaps one of the most significant early signs of menopause is the hot flashes which can cause you to sweat at night or even during the day when everyone else is comfortable or even cold. These hot flashes may or may not be accompanied by red blotchy skin, flushed skin or even a prickly kind of heat. If you normally experience pre-menstrual symptoms like cramps and mood swings, chances are that these

By: Thomas Geter During what the medical community refers to as "mid-life", both men and women undergo significant physiological changes. Women between the ages of 45 and 65 pass through a period called the climacteric. Menopause, the end of ovulation and menstruation, occurs during that period.The changes that a woman undergoes during menopause do not affect every woman to the same extent. A survey done by the North American Menopause Society has found that 10 to 15% of the women who experience the changes associated with menopause have viewed those changes as part of a positive progression in the entire life cycle.Many women have viewed menopause as a time of increased opportunities. As many as 60% of the women who were surveyed saw menopause as a time when they felt freer to try new things. That same percentage of women refused to associate menopause with any suggestion that they had become less "attractive".Menopause does put a woman in position from which she must act, if she want

December 7, 2007 Here is a wonderful article on the astrology of menopause that I want to share with those of us that are experiencing this phase in our lives. The Astrology of Menopause What is your menopause experience? Has it been difficult or fairly easy? Having answered that question, why don’t you send along your birth date, time and place as part of an informal study on the subject? Elizabeth Spring talks about perimenopause and menopause as being part of the series of mid-life transits starting with the Uranian opposition at 42 culminating in the Chiron return at age 51 and completing itself at the second Saturn return at age 59. In my family’s experience, one family member has had a fairly difficult time with menopause, while I seem to have relatively few side affects (and yes, my doctor has confirmed I am in menopause.) Why? Same genetics, same environment growing up, vastly different experience. Off the bat, transiting Uranus in her chart is inconjunct her natal Ura

As a women enters her twilight years, she may start to look back on her life. Remembering the good times, the bad times. The highs, the lows. Her favourite episode of Spaced and how she laughed when she heard Ross Kemp had been hit by a bus only to cry when she found out it wasn’t true. One thing that probably wont be classed as a *good time* though was when she went through the menopause. The hot flushes, the depression, the realisation that she is finally growing old. Not to mention the “vaginal dryness and urgency of urination“. It’s never going to be your number one, happiest memory from life, is it? Unless of course you’re a sadist, you hate menstruating, you enjoy a good mood swing or you’re pumping your body full of phytoestrogen. Thank God then for Ymea (pronounced by the middle classes as “E-May-Ahh” and by the working classes as “Why-Me-Uh”) because all the phytoestrogen it contains helps you have “the time of
