New research links gut health to menopause symptoms. Stool frequency and consistency, along with stress, were found to be associated with the severity of menopause symptoms.
Experts emphasized that more research is still needed to understand how exactly gut health and menopause interact with one another.Menopause can cause a number of uncomfortable symptoms as people approach middle age. New research has uncovered an association between some of these symptoms and gastrointestinal issues.symptoms may be linked to a person’s stool consistency and frequency.
Researchers also conducted a bowel assessment that included self-reported information on what each person’s typical stool consistency was, and how often they defecated. It’s almost a “chicken or the egg” situation, Streicher explained. Menopause symptoms could be causing constipation or other gut issues, or those symptoms could be making menopause worse.
“We have this microbiome and the gastrointestinal tract, and we know that that might affect the brain,” said Streicher. “And we know that hot flashes originate from the brain.”It’s possible that worsening menopause symptoms make women uncomfortable and stressed, which by extension, has a negative effect on their gut function.
Stress, BMI, physical activity, sleep habits, gastrointestinal factors, and more were included in the analysis, but not every health change should be attributed to menopause. One 2018 study found that, in the menopause transition, diarrhea and constipation can be linked to cortisol, stress, and anxiety, but not to “key reproductive hormones.”
