Menopause
As your hormones are going crazy and your body is trying it’s best to adjust, you’re going to have a lot of issues. Some are psychological (crying) and others are physical (discomfort – pain). This article is on the physical symptoms you might encounter with your breasts and stomach and what action you can take to try to alleviate some of your discomfort.
Why Are My Breasts So Sore? Is it Menopause?
Menopause brings all kinds of changes, your hormones are there, then they’re gone, then they seem to come back again. At least the symptoms of menopause do. One of the most aggravating hormonal changes affects the breasts fullness and firmness. Let’s not forget to give proper credit to gravity and lack of exercise. Your breasts are not only saggy, they’re tender, sometimes very tender. The sad truth is this discomfort can last for days.
For some reason our pain always is worse at night. This may be true of your tender breasts also. Possibly using a heating pad when you sleep could give you some relief from the discomfort. Some women have found applying Castor oil, lavender essential oil or natural progesterone cream soothing. It’s also possible you could alleviate some of the discomfort by reducing your intake of salt, salted foods and caffeine.
During the day, wear a proper bra, one that will keep your bosom off of your belly. Always wear a bra that’s not too snug and without underwires. To deal with the saggy factor, join a weightlifting class or get a good book that will show you the exercises to do to firm and lift your breasts. Supportive exercises and bras come in very handy during these trying times.
What’s The Matter With My Stomach?
As you age, it appears your stomach rebels. Indigestion is a daily grind, sometimes it’s so intense that your throat burns and your eyes water. If you add other factors like lack of exercise and weight gain, we ladies can suffer big time from abdominal discomfort. So you have a couple choices, grab an antacid or eat yogurt. It just isn’t any fun having to constantly deal with that irritating bloating and heartburn.
Does menopause have anything to do with your indigestion. In a word, yes. When your body reduces its production of estrogen during menopause the end result is gastric distress. Combine that with other age-related symptoms such as poor digestion and a decreased amount of the lactose enzyme that breaks down food and liquids and you become the uncomfortable victim of gastrointestinal distress. Not only are you downright miserable, but so is everyone else who happens to have the same room.
Suggestions For Elimination Of Discomfort
You should avoid certain fruits, high-sugar foods, cauliflower, onion and broccoli as they may irritate your intestines. The last thing you want to do is develop intestinal inflammation which will create extreme and painful indigestion. Your may also notice your tolerance for spicy foods has changed. Try eating moderate servings of fresh food whenever possible. If your indigestion is severe and remains severe, you will want to talk to your health care practitioner, who can give your a prescription medication to help relieve your discomfort. Don’t ignore severe indigestion; if untreated it can lead to ulcers, infection and acute gastritis.
For a more natural approach, try drinking herbals teas to restore some balance to your system; however, don’t mix teas. You might start with a cup of peppermint tea. Also, to assist your digestion process don’t allow stress or stressful subjects to be discussed at meal time. Set aside some quiet time to eat your meals and try to enjoy your food. Don’t eat while you are reading or watching TV.
I hope this information was helpful. Going through menopause is very trying and sometimes having a little bit of knowledge is helpful. Understand that you’re experiencing a normal part of life and even though there are times when you think you just can’t take another hot flash, hold on tight and keep the faith.
