Sweating with menopause

A woman in her physiology can not avoid a menopause: the stopping of sexual function is inevitable. Psychologically, this is stress. These are cardinal changes in health and lifestyle. As a rule, there is one more factor: sweating with menopause.

Causes of the sweating with menopause

Seldom does anyone manage to avoid increased sweating. This causes discomfort and irritation, insecurity and isolation, a sense of fear not only before old age, but also a potential illness. The absolute majority, and according to statistics it is 90% of women, are exposed to tides and profuse sweating. The reasons for sweating should be known to every woman who has menopause: then she will be mentally prepared.

[7], [8]

Pathogenesis

The medical term "pathogenesis" is the mechanisms of the developing disease and the processes that accompany it. When sweating, especially manifested during menopause, the hormonal background changes in the body - estrogen production decreases, which, in turn, affects the center of thermoregulation. As soon as there is a deficiency of estrogens, the brain, more precisely, one of its parts - the hypothalamus, receives a false signal about the body's overheating. And immediately there is a connection of the mechanism providing heat release. Then it happens:

• expansion of peripheral vessels or hot flush;
• cardiopalmus;
• copious sweating.

It is impossible not to notice this. But, knowing the reason, you can and should perceive the tides without unnecessary anxiety.

Symptoms of the sweating with menopause

Strong sweating with menopause, especially often night sweats and sharp tides are the first signs of an upcoming menopause. In parallel, there is a malfunction with monthly: they are irregular, the cycle changes, decreasing or extending, can be simply missed. Bleeding is more or less profuse.

Returning to the symptoms of sweating, it should be noted that it is impossible to conceal them: sweat is so abundantly allocated. And almost at the same time a woman feels chills. In this case, often the process of sweating is accompanied by a contrast sign when there is dryness in the mouth and in all mucous membranes. Another obvious symptom: hair is rapidly graying, becoming brittle.

Complications and consequences

The very fact of sweating, changing chills, often strong and prolonged, suggests the probability of a cold. But perhaps a disease with the same sign - for example, tuberculosis. The consequences and complications from accompanying sweating are not dangerous only if they are temporary and caused by age-related changes in the female body. In this case, intense perspiration sharply changing chills for a while affects the general well-being of the woman. This is typical for menopause.

[14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]

Diagnostics of the sweating with menopause

Typically, complex studies of profuse sweating in a woman who entered the menopause period or is in it is not required. But to exclude a parallel disease that has similar symptoms is necessary. Assays for hormones:

• the definition of a follicle-stimulating hormone in the blood;

• on estradiol - the main sex hormone in women. With menopause, it will be below the norm - 70 pmol / l;
• LH or luteinizing hormone, showing the maturation of the egg and ovulation, i.e. Sperm fertilization. If a woman has entered the menopause, the LH level rises to 40-60 IU / L and more.

Based on the results of these three analyzes, hormones can be prescribed for hormones during menopausal syndrome, if necessary, hormone therapy.

On the condition of a woman will tell and the diagnosis of sweating with menopause. Feeling the first "attack" of profuse sweating, you need to be convinced of the probability of an advancing menopause. This can be done by conducting a special test for the level of FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) in the urine. For the test, special diagnostic strips are used, freely sold in the pharmacy. It is enough 2-3 positive tests to be able to say with a high probability that the hot flashes and sweating signify the onset of the premenopause, and then the menopause.

But you can not limit yourself to this: the climax is a kind of platform for the development and exacerbation of diseases of the cardiovascular system, metabolic disorders, skin diseases, etc. If disturbing profuse and prolonged sweating, examination of only the gynecologist is not enough. Consultations of the cardiologist, the endocrinologist, the neurologist are required. Already having the results of the tests and tests described above, a histological scraping of the uterus is performed, a cytological examination of the smears, which must be analyzed in dynamics, and a graph of the basal temperature.

Differential diagnostics is also mandatory. Its role is to distinguish:

• premature termination (40 years) of ovarian function;
• Thyroid gland diseases;
• hormone-active tumor or pheochromocytoma;
• psychopathy and accompanying panic attacks;
• an increase in the blood of prolactin or hyperprolactinemia;
• tuberculosis;
• infectious diseases.

To establish an accurate diagnosis in particularly difficult cases, such instrumental methods of investigation as ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, chest X-ray, mammography are also used.

Differential diagnosis

Differentiating the menopause and its symptoms from other diseases is vital. Otherwise, the wrong treatment can be prescribed. Its consequences are often irreversible. Suffice it to mention, as an example, developing diabetes mellitus, in which a woman can also experience hot flashes and profuse sweating. His treatment requires a completely different technique than with menopause.
