Menopause myths tell you that hormones make you irritable, your sex life is over, and weight gain is inevitable. Get the facts about menopause:
It’s true you may feel a little foggier during perimenopause, the transition time into menopause. But menopause itself doesn’t cause memory loss. Any memory troubles you may have are more likely due to your brain aging.You’re not technically in menopause until you haven’t had a period for 12 months in a row. You’ll likely go through some time with irregular periods first, during perimenopause. That can last as long as 8 years.Menopause itself doesn’t alter mood.
Your doctor can help you decide if it's right for you. If not, you may be able to ease symptoms with acupuncture or relaxation techniques, vaginal lubes, and lifestyle changes such as regular exercise and a healthy diet.Declining estrogen levels may make it more likely that any extra pounds will settle around your middle. But weight gain isn't a given after menopause. Often, it's a result of a slowing metabolism as you age.
