Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. It marks the end of reproductive years and brings significant hormonal changes.

Now there's a stigma surrounding the hysterectomy thing with women, not one person is alike and Menopause can hit you at any point after you have had one. Sure you'll be thrown into the symptoms liste below, but you can control it with help from foods, HRT or anything else you and your medical professional. *as with anything I recommend is based on my own experience*

Symptoms: Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings are common symptoms. Sleep disturbances can also affect overall well-being.

Coping Strategies: Regular exercise, stress management, and a balanced diet can alleviate symptoms. Some women find relief through herbal supplements like black cohosh or evening primrose oil.

Emotional Well-Being: Menopause can impact mental health. Encourage open communication and seek professional support if needed.

Your Faking it!

See I wasn't faking any of my symptoms for years I was told it was "in my head", or that I needed to take more medication for it. Well in 2021, I jumped and took the course to me I was told for years that my symptoms were "in my head" or that I needed to take more medication. In 2021, I had a hysterectomy to get rid of something that was causing me a ton of pain, debilitating backaches, and horrible bleeding. It turned out that I had adenomyosis, which is often not diagnosed until after a hysterectomy. Unfortunately, this means no more kids for me and I'm ok with it (I have 5, 4 sons and a daughter), but that doesn't bother me as much as the fact that my body went into full menopause, which I shouldn't have had to experience. I control the pain with pain reliever OTC, Stretching, supplments to help and I eat a well balanced diet.

Always consult with your physician or OB/GYN before making any decisions about your health. They are the experts and know what is best for you.
