Menopause: symptoms,
The word “menopause” often makes people make a funny face.
Hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, bloating… and maybe even a little bit of urine leakage when you laugh or sneeze immediately come to mind.
But let’s stop for a moment.
Menopause is not a disease.
It is simply a new season of life.
And like every season… it can have its charm.
More and more women today search Google for:
-
“menopause natural remedies”
-
“menopause hot flashes what to do”
-
“menopause urine leakage”
-
“how to live through menopause well”
Because the truth is that this phase can become a time of great freedom and awareness.
Let’s look together at what really happens to the body and what we can do to feel better.
The positive sides of menopause (which are talked about far too little)
When menopause is discussed, the problems are almost always the only thing talked about.
And yet, there are also many positive aspects.
No more periods
Goodbye pads, pain, and calendar calculations.
Many women say they experience this phase as a true liberation.
More awareness
At this age, we often finally know:
-
who we are
-
what we want
-
what we no longer want in our lives
A freedom we often didn’t have at 20 or 30.
Freer sexuality
No more fear of unwanted pregnancies.
For many couples, this means more spontaneity and more pleasure.
Fewer hormonal rollercoasters
During the fertile years, hormones change continuously every month.
With menopause, this cycle ends and the body enters a new biological stability.
How menopause is viewed around the world
The perception of menopause varies greatly from culture to culture.
In Japan, it is called Konenki, which means new season of life, a kind of second spring.
In some Native American cultures, menopausal women become spiritual guides and community touchstones.
Perhaps it is time to change our narrative too.
Menopause is not the end of something.
It is the beginning of a new phase of maturity, experience, and freedom.
Urine leakage during menopause: why it happens
One of the most frequent searches online is:
“menopause urine leakage what to do”
It is a much more common problem than people think.
During menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which can lead to:
-
reduced tissue tone
-
weakening of the pelvic floor
-
increased bladder sensitivity
And so, it can happen that:
-
when you laugh
-
when you cough
-
when you sneeze
…there is a little bit of urine leakage.
The good news?
In most cases, it can be greatly improved.
Pelvic floor: the secret to preventing leakage
One of the most effective ways to improve bladder control is to train the pelvic floor.
It is a group of muscles that supports:
-
the bladder
-
the uterus
-
the bowel.
When these muscles weaken, the following may occur:
-
urine leakage
-
a feeling of pelvic heaviness
-
reduced bladder control.
The most famous exercises are Kegel exercises.
The great thing is that they can be done:
-
at home
-
while sitting
-
while standing
-
while working.
No one will notice, but your body will.
Practical help for the pelvic floor
If you want to learn how to train it properly, you can follow the free videos by physiotherapist Alessia Pierri, who specializes in pelvic floor health.
She offers:
-
in-person classes at her school in Saronno (Varese)
