In addition to the common symptoms of perimenopause (hot flashes, mood swings, tiredness, stress, fatigue, vaginal dryness, and itching), a woman may also experience vaginal bleeding and mood swings. Among the health complications that can be experienced after menopause are osteoporosis and heart disease.
What is osteoporosis? Osteoporosis is a condition that is characterized by loss in bone density. Bones become weakened and prone to fractures. Bone density in a woman begins to drop at age 35, and this loss accelerates after menopause. The risks of osteoporosis are increased by:
lack of physical activity
deficiency of CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D in the daily diet
smoking and alcohol abuse
rheumatoid arthritis
underweight
family history of osteoporosis
Heart disease
Heart disease is a condition that affects the proper functioning of the heart. For example:
Arteries affected or atrophied by cholesterol and/or triglycerides
Problems with valves when not properly regulating blood flow to the heart
Cardiomyopathy is an irregularity in the contraction of the heart muscles
Arrhythmias
Infections to the heart
