I have no doubt the hormonal shift was a HUGE part of why I struggled in my job that I eventually left due to debilitating mask wearing at my job all day long. It's been a blessing on many levels!
I let it get to the point, so bad, I was fired. A blessing on some levels, a tremendous amount of additional stress on others. We need to solve this with more menopause centers and options - time off - for the next generation of professional women who will go through this.
I've had literally ALL symptoms that you discussed, right down to the fibroid tumors and crazy bleeding. I've been perimenopausal for several years probably and did not even know it. Had a hysterectomy 1.5 yrs ago due to fibroids, profuse bleeding, and severe anemia. And then my hormones spiraled into terrible emotional changes and mood dysregulation. Thank you for your video content! I think others who are struggling will be helped very much by your advice!
Awww we love you our mother Taresa...you put everything so calmly in front of us, trying so hard not to get us all excited...highly appreciated Eileen... Good good advise... Thank you and god bless you and your family
Wonderful advise. Enjoy her videos very much. I was wondering why she’s been gone ..? Can she come back and do more videos and maybe someone could take over place thank you for all your dedication 🙏🏻♥️
I had all that, extreme heavy bleeding for 10 years! I was anemic n on iron tablets. I later almost collapsed with blood loss. So I changed my doctor who got me expert treatment. Ended up with fibroid size of an orange removed and a womb scrape. T coil fitted. Best thing I ever did! If you're not wanting anymore children, I highly recommend this. No periods anymore, moods more stable.
A very very excellent advices again. All these really happen to me bloating, headache, anxiety and more, but luckily, I don't experience a heavy bleeding menstruation just suddenly stop for two years now. Thank you very much I will share this to my sisters and relatives. God Bless you more...
I bled heavy for 14 weeks nonstop. Gushing at times. No fibroids. Just unlucky. Needed several blood transfusions and iron infusions. Had a uterine ablation which helped and then I went into full blown menopause soon after. It was horrible!
Thank you for sharing to us. I am now Post Menopause, after listening your lectures. I had all my examinations, my doctor told me, do not do to much, take my time. Thank you again!
Thanks for this. I suffered a number of issues, some painful, but l never got any proper treatment or help from *any* doctor l went to. But here in this area it is not unusual to remain untreated if you are not in the right income or job. I am now post-menopausal at 61, however, I have suffered from an incredibly painful bladder. EVERY single day it feels like there is a little sharp knife cutting inside my bladder & tract. It can be aching even when l am not urinating! Now of course covid is used as an even better excuse for doctors to do nothing, no matter my income! I am angey & fed up, this started in *spring of 2018* !!!😡 3 1/2 years of daily pain, all day long.🇨🇦
Hi Shendara I have posted a video blog on bladder issues and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/common-bladder-problems-and-infections/ Best Wishes Eileen
Im surprised high blood pressure wasn't mentioned I developed high blood pressure when I hit my menopause Never had it before It can be very dangerous if left unchecked
Absolutely Maliha. I do mention HBP in a number of my vlogs and that's it's really important to get it checked regularly and seek medical advice if appropriate. Best Wishes Eileen
Mine was @ 17, now 52. Remember receiving my results from a young uninformed doctor. The last 35 years have been so traumatic, due to uninformed GP’s who continued with the pills and sent me on my way, never acknowledging my other symptoms. I gained over 10 kg’s & functioned.
I am 51 years old. Always had a 44 day cycle for 5 days. It's still 44 days cycle but goes on for 8 days painful clots bloating hot flashes cold flashes. Mood swings depression, headaches like a blood vessel is about to burst. Tiredness lost of appetite. I am also a hypothyroidism patient.
Hi Vikki If you're passing clots every month it is wise to get this checked out by your doctor and prolonged periods can cause anaemia which may need treating. Your doctor can test your iron levels just in case you need an iron tonic. Best Wishes Eileen
@@AvogelCoUk Thank you soo much for sacrificing your time to reach out and educate us as we struggle with our individual challenges. I will see the Dr about the clots. I am experiencing signs of anaemia and have started some iron supplements. Keep up the great work you do. Much appreciation from my heart.
@@AvogelCoUk I hope so, its pure hell, I have to sleep with the light on , and I live alone and I afraid of it, and I never was afraid to be alone at home, just bizarre!!! I am 51 years old too!!!
Hi Jocelyna Maybe look at one of the Flower Essence remedies as they can be really helpful for emotional issues. Where do you live and I may be able to find a range for you? Best Wishes Eileen
Hi Jocelyna You won't be able to get our Flower Essences in Canada but most health shops will carry some ranges such as the Australian Bush Essences, the Bach Flower Remedies or a Canadian brand called Prairie Deva Essences. They will all have remedies to help with fears. Best Wishes Eileen
Get your allergies checked out as well. Allergists have helped people with mental health issues get well. Some foods trigger depression, or excruciating physical pain. It's worth a visit to your food allergist.
The first symptom I had was a missed period,but when I did have bleeding,I bled for months and when they where lighter I was getting a bleed every other week. I went to see my GP,who referred me to a gynecologist. I had an ultrasound that's when it was discovered that I had ovarian cysts. These cysts have since been removed,to to be sure that there was no cancer present.
Hi Samantha I am so pleased to hear that you got this investigated and treated; it's always a good idea to check things out, even if it's just for peace of mind. Best Wishes Eileen
Your hair looks amazing in this video. I had to revisit you again because my hot flashes are gradually getting worse. I'm already feeling anxious about how I'm going to cope with going back to work. I will have to either wear layers or wear a light dress with a very warm cardigan made from wool. Oh and I'm exhausted from the hot, freezing cold then hot again!
Hi Lady T Thank you for your kind comment! Wearing layers is a really good idea and you could also try the sage tablets as these are specifically for flushes and sweats and usually work quite quickly. www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/sage-tablets-menoforce/ Best Wishes Eileen
I found that twice during my 14 years of hot flashes: doing a serious colon cleanse stopped the hot flashes until I got backed up again with the wrong foods.
It's not fair. Why are we cursed for having menopause. Why don't men go thru this menopause? Us females stop giving birth at a certain age . Why can't men stop having sperm/semen? I feel less than a woman. I'm grateful for these videos. Men don't know what us females go thru.
It's totally not fair! We shouldn't have to suffer for God allowing us to give birth. It's no fun at all. And it takes a very understanding and man to deal with a woman who goes through this. This depresses me. Smh
@@danyellg3079 I agree with you. If we stop having children at a certain age. Men should stop having sperm/semen too like us women with our ovaries. This depresses me.
I am 49 and suffered from heavy bleeding and pieces of meat like dark blood clots for several years. It drained me and I feel sorry for every woman having same problems. But I had tough life involving physical and mental pain which I blame because I couldn't look after myself. Please look after yourself.
@@ap9686 unfortunately no one could help. I was offered vaginal treatment but after developing serious pains and infection from mesh implant 9 years age, i lost my trust in doctors and refused it. I have aged before time and could not work out what to do. I am better now and try to keep positive. But what I have learnt is that menopause or period pains can be very difficult to deal with as I have been back and forth to hospitals but not able to find a suitable solution. I think from the age of 20 all women should seriously consider their health and prepare themselves for coming years. Because sometimes busy life does the damage. I have respect for all women because we go through a lot in life. Thanks
I was an OR nurse. Well said!! Is it fun? No. Is it something we need to address? Yes. I have known too many women who say " you know I don't see Drs." Fine if you don't want to do this.... stop talking to your friends about your resistance. Feeling fear is normal! But talking to nurses when you're not ever going to address it. Is nuts!"
Hello. I’ve been drinking lots of water lately. I could drink up to 4 litres within 24 hrs. I normally will be thirsty towards my bed time also my mouth will be dry. I will get up to pee about 4/5 times at night. I have wet the bed twice. My bladder feels weak I’m afraid to go outing as I seems to wee easily on me.
In my early 40s.. had a huge fibroid.. endometriosis and heavy bleeding.. My guns suggested hysterectomy.. I resisted but went ahead and did it.. I have hot flashes.. anxiousness.. insomnia.. osteoporosis.. headaches..arthritis.. and WEIGHT GAIN.. It really is frustrating
For me it started at 35. One day I had really heavy bleeding, lots of clots, and big, contacted doctor, because I wasn't feeling dizzy, I was told it was nothing. I did go see my ob/gyn did a uterus biopsy, painful, then final test was for menopause, and yep, that was it, I knew it. I never got another period. Broke my heart as I wanted to still have another child, even though I have 4 great children already. Anyway, that was over 21 years ago. No reason for the sudden stop, just bam, you're done.
Abselutely, I was bleeding excessively due to a fibroid, doctors were complacent. Finally, I found a doctor in emergency dept. Long story short, emergency complete hysterectomy. Result I had endometrial stromal sarcoma cancer, not a fibroid. Due to my diligence and insistence, I am cancer free because we caught it early stage.
Thank you for this. It’s really strange when you first start getting symptoms- it’s hardly spoken about!!! Why is that? You hear OF it, but not really specifics, or how bad it can get.
During my periods I was loosing blood so bad I was blacking out. I went to the hospital and they had to give me blood. I had to go and get iron treatments and a partial hysterectomy because of the fibroid. Forwarding to today. I have been going threw hot flashes now for 5 years. My mother and sister is going through hot flashes but my hot flashes is every hour. It starts at the back of my neck and the heats up my upper body. I wish it was a cure.
The problem is though is that all doctors know how to do is offer an SSRI or SNRI, HRT or Birth Control. None of which I can have. I stopped my SSRI 5 years ago and have been in PAWS ever since (post acute withdrawal syndrome) (which, go figure, most doctors don't recognize as a thing to begin with..) Now a couple weeks ago my doc told me that I'm in early perimenopause (I'm 35) which the peri symptoms are so similar to the PAWS symptoms so its impossible to tell which is which. I suffer from daily tension headaches for 5 years, bouts of anxiety/panic, insomnia, chronic muscle tension in my neck, shoulders, back and hips, painful lumpy breasts a couple weeks before my period (my doc said she believes i have fibrocystic breasts) now I've started getting a racing heart randomly in the mornings as soon as I stand up, throughout the day here and there, and some evenings too. I am exhausted and I'm only 35. I will never go on another SSRI or SNRI if you literally paid me. And birth control is too risky for me as I'm 35 and smoke. (Which I'm planning on quitting in the new year) So I don't know what to do about all of this. I'm a single mom, no family (my mom just suddenly passed recently and I have no siblings or other relatives at all), no car and I homeschool. I feel like giving up but I can't because of my child. I'm just ranting and letting a little steam out through my thumbs. If anyone has any advice at all I'm open to hear it and appreciate it as well. Xo
@@Maggie-zr2ow I heard here in Canada they can cost a couple hundred a month and they're not covered on OHIP. I'm a single mom on disability so I can't afford that nor can I afford to get my hormone levels checked out. I'm in quite the predicament.

Good morning lovely thank you so much for sharing this wonderful amazing information I have shared this with five of my friends two of my sister's god bless you you're a superstar for doing this🥰😇
Very interesting points..took me back to my mother changes..and of course those of us in the family were very confused..but this info was eye opening.💥🌟🌹🤩
I really love your videos also family friend absolutely love your video the way you explain the way you talk the everything is fine details thank you big shout out from London💐🏵🥀🌺🌻🌼🌷⚘
Menopause sucks!!! Dealing with the night sweats (only it's not just at night time when I'm in bed - i have these through the day. Usually when I'm out in public places a sudden hot rush will start at my midriff rising to my head where I'm burning hot and sweat running down my face and neck ruining my hair cos its drenched with sweat). Don't get me started on the mood swings I'm experiencing. If I'm not in floods of tears (over the silliest things) I'm 0 to 100 with rage and anger very embarrassing and draining having to apologize for my outbursts of sudden crying or anger and aggressive behavior . I'm not having heavy periods for days on end, at random times throughout the month (after having the merina iud inserted) so that's one less thing to worry about. I have been going through menopause the last few years now but will be glad when it's done and I'm not the moody temperamental monster I've turned into. Please tell me there's light at the end of this nightmare. Ladies any advice or tips on what you found helpful with the symptoms of menopause would be appreciated. TIA
Hi Jennifer If you are in the UK or Ireland you could try the sage tablets, Menoforce, as these are specifically for flushes and sweats and a high magnesium supplement which is good for mood. You may also benefit from some acupuncture as this can help to balance the hormones and calm the nervous system. Best Wishes Eileen
Please check out The Menopause Dr. Louise Newsom channel. You do not need to suffer. Once in menopause always in menopause. Osteoporosis, loss of brain matter which causes dementia, and cardiovascular risks.
Thanks for the info. I wish I had known all this before ending up so depleted of iron, that I nearly had a heart attack. It turns out you can bleed to death from a three month long heavy period. But none of the hospital staff seemed to know this either.
@@AvogelCoUk Thank you Eileen. Progesterone Rx X 3 rounds to regulate cycle, then a few IVs of iron + feromax 150 mg daily. Bouncing back from anemia takes a considerable amount of time. Your channel is empowering!
You could avoid this serious complication by replacing the oestrogen that is vital to your body. See Menopause Doctor run by a GP who is a specialist in menopause treatment!
I was sent to the ER last Monday for that reason. My gyno told me I could have a heart attack after a 3 month bleed. Had a D&C with ablation 3 days later. Very scary! Can I ask how your doing now? Was you close to menopause?
Dearest EILEEN..I had asked for your opinion,because of anxiety and panic attacks....YOU will be very happy,as am I,that when my magnesium levels went up.....I came back to NORMAL,I really thought that something was REALLY wrong but thank GOD,I recovered....My best friend said that even praying and LETTING GO of certain things all help,and they DID,,,SO I want to say that if any other lady is ROCK BOTTOM and panicky,try a bit of magnesium,fill the reserviors,and see how you feel...sometimes its the little things in life that make the difference!!!!...Oh and I drink only one coffee aday and with no caffeine..it helped!!!!
Rodoula Doulos hi thank you for the tip on the magnesium you suggested. I’m having a fun time with anxiety on the change along with every else you can get. Will try this ASAP thank you 🙏
Magnesium has so many benefits ! Dr. Axe here on TH-cam has a video on the benefits of magnesium. Amd you can always do more research on the internet as well. And regarding caffeine it can actually cause anxiety in some people. Am kinda sensitive to caffeine , I noticed when I would have to much coffee I will get anxious! Caffeine makes anxiety worse. And of course our thoughts it's very important to pay close attention to what thoughts we entertain. Praying/ talking to Jesus and hearing what He has to say to us is a blessing . He cares for us and we matter to Him. You are all unique one of a kinda. So be You because no one else can be you only YOU. Blessings to you all. You are of value.
I've got post-menopausal bleeding and period pains, trying to get a doctors appointment at the moment is so hard, seriously worried about it, was told there are no appointments until the 2nd June, so I don't know what to do if I can't be seen. 😓
Iv tried ALOT to help me thru this transition in life and it was still extremely difficult until I decided to go back on prenatal vitamins 🤷🏽♀️that worked for me ?!
I lost a considerable amount of blood during perimenopause and became Severely anemic. I was treated with an iron supplement which helped. But my body seemed to defy hormone therapy to stop the scary bleeding. So, what cured me was a low sodium diet. It worked like magic.
I had not had a period for 4 years and this last year they are back. Cramping and on and off during the month. The cramping and backaches are really hard to take. My dr seems to be ok with this. I have talked to other friends and they went through the same thing also.
Hi Anita. I went thru long spells period free then period came. Got tests before covid .will get another check now as I have period like cramping. Do u ever get cramping with no bleed .hope all ok with u now.
Hi Lana Glad you like our channel, thank you! Yes, prolonged periods are quite common as you approach the menopause, however, they are not good for you and could cause anaemia. It is wise to get this checked out by your doctor as they can test your iron levels and also make sure that other issues such as fibroids, polyps or a prolapse are not causing the bleeding. Best Wishes Eileen
I wish more gynecologists would JUST practice gynecology AND peri, menopause, and post menopause issues and not just go for all the money with practicing obstetrics!! 🙄 I live in a U.S. city with many physicians and a population of 1 million + people and no physicians here seem to know or care about ANY of this! 😢
Hi Ann I've posted blogs on these and what you can do to help yourself so please do take a look. www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/how-to-sleep-better-during-menopause/ www.avogel.co.uk/health/menopause/videos/mood-swings-and-how-to-deal-with-them/ Best Wishes Eileen
I have chest tightness on and off do you think because of my anxiety triggers this or it is menopausal symptom? I am 54 years old. I had an aourtic valve replacement surgery 3 years ago too.
See a cardiologist ASAP! She’s not a doctor. She is just giving us a general perspective on menopausal stages and recommendations. She’s not here to prescribe, treat, nor is she licensed medical physician.
Hope you are doing better! I am same age as you and have dilated aortic valve . Never met anyone who has done this surgery. I also have chest tightness at times and bloating. My doctor said to keep my BP under control .
I am bleeding for 14days now and i saw this video which made me calmer because i was thinking i got some kind of illness and that i am gonna die because of prolonged period. 😂 What about clots in menstruation? Is it normal? I am 43yrs old and all menopausal symptoms are present. Plus i am always dizzy. 😭
Hi Miss Kurdapya Although prolonged periods are common on the approach to the menopause, they are not good for you and may cause anaemia. This in turn may cause fatigue, dizziness, low mood/anxiety so it is wise to get your iron levels tested by your doctor just in case you need some medication. Do also mention the blood clots, although these are common too we do advice that you let your doctor know. Best Wishes Eileen
Thank You for replying, Eileen. i went today to the doctor and she gave me medication to stop the bleeding. Will start from there and observe. She also asked me to do some tests to rule out some other issues. Again, thank you for this video, it helped me alot and i know others too.
Yes please see your doctor's but mine was not able to help me when I was premenstrual and my heavy constant bleeding. I was desperate and come here to TH-cam for some information. A lady on a video I watched said to take 2 full tbsp of organic black strap molasses. I was so desperate I went right out and got some. I had been bleeding for a month straight. I took 2 tbsps as soon as I got home and just like the woman said, it was gone by the next day. I shared this with a close friend and it lightened her flow considerably. It stopped with in a couple more days. I hope this will alsohelp some of you out there.
Hi Cintia Sometimes you have to be really persistent with the doctor or you could take along a friend or relative for extra support. Have a list of everything that you want discussed then get your friend to write down everything the doctor says; that often gets results! Best Wishes Eileen
HOW DO WE NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON ? I HAVE TILTED CERVIX HAVING EXTREMELY HOT SWEATS THEN FREEZING 2 WEEKS DOING THIS NOW I HAVEN'T HAD PERIOD IN TWO MONTHS BUT I BLED 7 DAYS ALWAYS FOR YEARS HEAVY BUT NOT TOO TERRIBLE YES BLOATED TOO HAVE SERVERE SPINAL INJURIES ALSO AND IT'S AS IF MY ABILITY TO ENDURE MY BACK PAIN IS GONE SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO STUDIES AND COME UP WITH BETTER SOLUTIONS THEN ANTIDEPRESSANTS THE NATURAL HERBS HAVE NOT DONE A THING I CANNOT SLEEP BUT AM EXHAUSTED DUE TO MY BACK THERE IS NO WAY I CAN LIE AND GET REST
The best treatment is replacing the hormones you are losing. Just like you would replace thyroxin if your thyroid stops working properly. Oestrogen is has far more benefits than curing only hot flushes - it also prevents heart disease, osteoporosis, brain fog, dementia, depression, diabetes, lack of sleep
I am 52 and only a couple months ago thought I might be going through perimenopause as I got an early period. Meanwhile for the past 10 years I've been experiencing bad migraines on a monthly basis and a week ago got a prolapse which I haven't seen the doc for but while taking a bath realised that I am feeling something I didn't feel before. Upon personal investigation I thought my womb had dropped. I never heard of these this before. Thank you for your video and timely information. I guess I need to see a doctor.
Hi It is always best to get things checked out 😊 Hormonal migraines can often be eased with some high strength magnesium; you may find 200mg twice a day can help.

Hi Dr! Question please..I have thyroid! But late June in to July I began to have these heat in my body goes on come! What could be the cause of this? Please help please
Hi Bonisha It is best to go back and see your doctor about this as there could be a number of reasons such as thyroid deterioration, low vitamin B12, Diabetes or even stress. Your doctor can do a proper examination to determine what is happening with you.
YES, Thyroid Can and also cause premature menopause ok,,,Just go out for natural Cure now okay before it is too late for you,,Use AGBARA HERBAL DEEP ROOT CLEANSER or The Agbara herbal powder mix with Lime this will cure this problem very fast,,,,Early menopause usually refers to onset before age 45. Premature menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency occurs before age 40. Menopause occurs when your ovaries stop producing eggs, resulting in low estrogen levels. Estrogen is the hormone that controls the reproductive cycle.

Hi, I m 47yrs old woman ,had non stop bleeding a year ago and Doc did ablation and my periods was normal again cyclus 28-30days, 6-7 days period each cycle. Now a year later i m bleeding non stop again. Is this again a perimenopause symptom?
Hi Suzan It could be that your hormones are starting to change again but it is wise to check with your doctor first. Prolonged bleeding is really not good for you and can cause anaemia. Your doctor may be able to give you something to stop the bleeding and then check to see why this is happening again. Best Wishes Eileen
For me not eating at the right time, meaning at the onset of hunger. I will get a headache. So I can’t get hungry and wait to eat, I have to eat something right away, else I will feel like I am dying. Happens at least once’s a month at around my cycle.
Hi M D Blood sugar control can often become much more erratic in the menopause so this is quite common. I found if I waited too long I got really irritable and angry! :) Best Wishes Eileen
I got bleeding for more than 2 weeks but i dont feel anything uncomfortable, no cramps , no any pain, no hot flashes no blood clots, like normal only...but if it continues i must go to have a check.
I'm finding I'm wearing a tenor pad daily, losing urine near my period especially, doctors are no help.. Had tests seemed fine. What's causing this please help?
Hi Rachel As we age and go through the menopause, the muscles that hold up the bladder can weaken and this can cause leaking. Also, the bladder valve itself can be affected by low oestrogen which can stop it working properly leading to leaking too. Dehydration can also be a factor; if you don't drink enough your urine can become really acidic and this will irritate the bladder making you need to go more often. Specific exercises such as Pilates can often help so it may be work contacting a Pilates instructor in your area to see if you can get some lessons. Best Wishes Eileen
Hi I am a post menopausal 58yrs old was put on ovestin vaginal cream 2yrs ago I wasnt happy to go on it but my gp insisted I did so for vaginal atrophy and bladder atrophy all was fine until 2 mnths ago I started spotting weed eastrogen cream out during the night pink discharge a few days later went straight to gp explained what I did treated me for thrush as she examined me said I had thrush although I had no symptoms she sent me for a vaginal ultrasound which said my womb had thickened to 10mm which can happen taking eastrogen without progesterone so was sent for a biopsy had no anesthetic told to take a paracetamol and it would feel like a period cramp it felt like being flayed alive ! The gyne failed the biopsy so now I have to wait months for a hysteroscopy and another biopsy as there is a huge waiting list in my area I have started spotting again last week as I weed out the cream twice during both nights unintentionally just like before so think this has caused the spotting again and terrified which escalates my stress levels probably making this situation a lot worse can a few days without eastrogen cream mess up my hormones? As this 2nd time is exactly same situation as the first thank you .
Hi Leea I'm sorry to hear that you are in this situation and I know we get many women in similar circumstances having to wait ages to be seen! Unfortunatley, I don't know if stopping the cream would be an issue for you, I am sure your pharmacist would have enough information on the brand that you are using and be able to tell you the best way forward I do hope your next experience will be more comfortable for you Best Wishes Eileen
I have no doubt the hormonal shift was a HUGE part of why I struggled in my job that I eventually left due to debilitating mask wearing at my job all day long. It's been a blessing on many levels!

Thanks for this. I suffered a number of issues, some painful, but l never got any proper treatment or help from *any* doctor l went to. But here in this area it is not unusual to remain untreated if you are not in the right income or job. I am now post-menopausal at 61, however, I have suffered from an incredibly painful bladder. EVERY single day it feels like there is a little sharp knife cutting inside my bladder & tract. It can be aching even when l am not urinating! Now of course covid is used as an even better excuse for doctors to do nothing, no matter my income! I am angey & fed up, this started in *spring of 2018* !!!😡 3 1/2 years of daily pain, all day long.🇨🇦

Im surprised high blood pressure wasn't mentioned
I developed high blood pressure when I hit my menopause
Never had it before
It can be very dangerous if left unchecked
Absolutely Maliha. I do mention HBP in a number of my vlogs and that's it's really important to get it checked regularly and seek medical advice if appropriate.

Mine was @ 17, now 52. Remember receiving my results from a young uninformed doctor. The last 35 years have been so traumatic, due to uninformed GP’s who continued with the pills and sent me on my way, never acknowledging my other symptoms. I gained over 10 kg’s & functioned.
I am 51 years old. Always had a 44 day cycle for 5 days. It's still 44 days cycle but goes on for 8 days painful clots bloating hot flashes cold flashes. Mood swings depression, headaches like a blood vessel is about to burst. Tiredness lost of appetite. I am also a hypothyroidism patient.
Hi Vikki
If you're passing clots every month it is wise to get this checked out by your doctor and prolonged periods can cause anaemia which may need treating. Your doctor can test your iron levels just in case you need an iron tonic.
Best Wishes

@@AvogelCoUk Thank you soo much for sacrificing your time to reach out and educate us as we struggle with our individual challenges. I will see the Dr about the clots. I am experiencing signs of anaemia and have started some iron supplements. Keep up the great work you do.

The first symptom I had was a missed period,but when I did have bleeding,I bled for months and when they where lighter I was getting a bleed every other week.
I went to see my GP,who referred me to a gynecologist.
I had an ultrasound that's when it was discovered that I had ovarian cysts.
These cysts have since been removed,to to be sure that there was no cancer present.

I am so pleased to hear that you got this investigated and treated; it's always a good idea to check things out, even if it's just for peace of mind.

Your hair looks amazing in this video. I had to revisit you again because my hot flashes are gradually getting worse. I'm already feeling anxious about how I'm going to cope with going back to work. I will have to either wear layers or wear a light dress with a very warm cardigan made from wool.

Wearing layers is a really good idea and you could also try the sage tablets as these are specifically for flushes and sweats and usually work quite quickly.

It's not fair. Why are we cursed for having menopause. Why don't men go thru this menopause? Us females stop giving birth at a certain age . Why can't men stop having sperm/semen? I feel less than a woman. I'm grateful for these videos. Men don't know what us females go thru.
It's totally not fair! We shouldn't have to suffer for God allowing us to give birth. It's no fun at all. And it takes a very understanding and man to deal with a woman who goes through this. This depresses me. Smh
@@danyellg3079 I agree with you. If we stop having children at a certain age. Men should stop having sperm/semen too like us women with our ovaries.
This depresses me.

I am 49 and suffered from heavy bleeding and pieces of meat like dark blood clots for several years. It drained me and I feel sorry for every woman having same problems. But I had tough life involving physical and mental pain which I blame because I couldn't look after myself. Please look after yourself.
How did you recover?
@@ap9686 unfortunately no one could help. I was offered vaginal treatment but after developing serious pains and infection from mesh implant 9 years age, i lost my trust in doctors and refused it. I have aged before time and could not work out what to do. I am better now and try to keep positive. But what I have learnt is that menopause or period pains can be very difficult to deal with as I have been back and forth to hospitals but not able to find a suitable solution. I think from the age of 20 all women should seriously consider their health and prepare themselves for coming years. Because sometimes busy life does the damage. I have respect for all women because we go through a lot in life. Thanks

I'm just started with this feelings, Menopausal problem 😪
In my early 40s.. had a huge fibroid.. endometriosis and heavy bleeding.. My guns suggested hysterectomy.. I resisted but went ahead and did it.. I have hot flashes.. anxiousness.. insomnia.. osteoporosis.. headaches..arthritis.. and WEIGHT GAIN.. It really is frustrating
°gyno
Read Dr.John Lee book on menopause. You need progesterone.
For me it started at 35. One day I had really heavy bleeding, lots of clots, and big, contacted doctor, because I wasn't feeling dizzy, I was told it was nothing. I did go see my ob/gyn did a uterus biopsy, painful, then final test was for menopause, and yep, that was it, I knew it. I never got another period. Broke my heart as I wanted to still have another child, even though I have 4 great children already. Anyway, that was over 21 years ago. No reason for the sudden stop, just bam, you're done.

Abselutely, I was bleeding excessively due to a fibroid, doctors were complacent. Finally, I found a doctor in emergency dept. Long story short, emergency complete hysterectomy. Result I had endometrial stromal sarcoma cancer, not a fibroid. Due to my diligence and insistence, I am cancer free because we caught it early stage.

During my periods I was loosing blood so bad I was blacking out. I went to the hospital and they had to give me blood. I had to go and get iron treatments and a partial
hysterectomy because of the fibroid. Forwarding to today. I have been going threw hot flashes now for 5 years. My mother and sister is going through hot flashes but my hot flashes is every hour. It starts at the back of my neck and the heats up my upper body. I wish it was a cure.

The problem is though is that all doctors know how to do is offer an SSRI or SNRI, HRT or Birth Control. None of which I can have. I stopped my SSRI 5 years ago and have been in PAWS ever since (post acute withdrawal syndrome) (which, go figure, most doctors don't recognize as a thing to begin with..) Now a couple weeks ago my doc told me that I'm in early perimenopause (I'm 35) which the peri symptoms are so similar to the PAWS symptoms so its impossible to tell which is which. I suffer from daily tension headaches for 5 years, bouts of anxiety/panic, insomnia, chronic muscle tension in my neck, shoulders, back and hips, painful lumpy breasts a couple weeks before my period (my doc said she believes i have fibrocystic breasts) now I've started getting a racing heart randomly in the mornings as soon as I stand up, throughout the day here and there, and some evenings too. I am exhausted and I'm only 35. I will never go on another SSRI or SNRI if you literally paid me. And birth control is too risky for me as I'm 35 and smoke. (Which I'm planning on quitting in the new year) So I don't know what to do about all of this. I'm a single mom, no family (my mom just suddenly passed recently and I have no siblings or other relatives at all), no car and I homeschool. I feel like giving up but I can't because of my child.
I'm just ranting and letting a little steam out through my thumbs. If anyone has any advice at all I'm open to hear it and appreciate it as well. Xo
@@Maggie-zr2ow I heard here in Canada they can cost a couple hundred a month and they're not covered on OHIP. I'm a single mom on disability so I can't afford that nor can I afford to get my hormone levels checked out. I'm in quite the predicament.

Menopause sucks!!! Dealing with the night sweats (only it's not just at night time when I'm in bed - i have these through the day. Usually when I'm out in public places a sudden hot rush will start at my midriff rising to my head where I'm burning hot and sweat running down my face and neck ruining my hair cos its drenched with sweat). Don't get me started on the mood swings I'm experiencing. If I'm not in floods of tears (over the silliest things) I'm 0 to 100 with rage and anger very embarrassing and draining having to apologize for my outbursts of sudden crying or anger and aggressive behavior . I'm not having heavy periods for days on end, at random times throughout the month (after having the merina iud inserted) so that's one less thing to worry about. I have been going through menopause the last few years now but will be glad when it's done and I'm not the moody temperamental monster I've turned into. Please tell me there's light at the end of this nightmare. Ladies any advice or tips on what you found helpful with the symptoms of menopause would be appreciated. TIA
Hi Jennifer
If you are in the UK or Ireland you could try the sage tablets, Menoforce, as these are specifically for flushes and sweats and a high magnesium supplement which is good for mood. You may also benefit from some acupuncture as this can help to balance the hormones and calm the nervous system.

You could avoid this serious complication by replacing the oestrogen that is vital to your body. See Menopause Doctor run by a GP who is a specialist in menopause treatment!
Oh my god, that's terrible that even medical staff didn't know this. 😳
I was sent to the ER last Monday for that reason. My gyno told me I could have a heart attack after a 3 month bleed. Had a D&C with ablation 3 days later. Very scary! Can I ask how your doing now? Was you close to menopause?
Dearest EILEEN..I had asked for your opinion,because of anxiety and panic attacks....YOU will be very happy,as am I,that when my magnesium levels went up.....I came back to NORMAL,I really thought that something was REALLY wrong but thank GOD,I recovered....My best friend said that even praying and LETTING GO of certain things all help,and they DID,,,SO I want to say that if any other lady is ROCK BOTTOM and panicky,try a bit of magnesium,fill the reserviors,and see how you feel...sometimes its the little things in life that make the difference!!!!...Oh and I drink only one coffee aday and with no caffeine..it helped!!!!
Thank you for your advise...god bless
Not easy what we women have to go tru hey..
Rodoula Doulos hi thank you for the tip on the magnesium you suggested. I’m having a fun time with anxiety on the change along with every else you can get. Will try this ASAP thank you 🙏
Prayer very important. Try journaling too
Magnesium has so many benefits ! Dr. Axe here on TH-cam has a video on the benefits of magnesium. Amd you can always do more research on the internet as well. And regarding caffeine it can actually cause anxiety in some people. Am kinda sensitive to caffeine , I noticed when I would have to much coffee I will get anxious! Caffeine makes anxiety worse. And of course our thoughts it's very important to pay close attention to what thoughts we entertain. Praying/ talking to Jesus and hearing what He has to say to us is a blessing . He cares for us and we matter to Him. You are all unique one of a kinda. So be You because no one else can be you only YOU. Blessings to you all. You are of value.

Yes, prolonged periods are quite common as you approach the menopause, however, they are not good for you and could cause anaemia. It is wise to get this checked out by your doctor as they can test your iron levels and also make sure that other issues such as fibroids, polyps or a prolapse are not causing the bleeding.

I am bleeding for 14days now and i saw this video which made me calmer because i was thinking i got some kind of illness and that i am gonna die because of prolonged period. 😂 What about clots in menstruation? Is it normal? I am 43yrs old and all menopausal symptoms are present. Plus i am always dizzy. 😭
Hi Miss Kurdapya
Although prolonged periods are common on the approach to the menopause, they are not good for you and may cause anaemia. This in turn may cause fatigue, dizziness, low mood/anxiety so it is wise to get your iron levels tested by your doctor just in case you need some medication.
Do also mention the blood clots, although these are common too we do advice that you let your doctor know.

Thank You for replying, Eileen. i went today to the doctor and she gave me medication to stop the bleeding. Will start from there and observe. She also asked me to do some tests to rule out some other issues. Again, thank you for this video, it helped me alot and i know others too.
Yes please see your doctor's but mine was not able to help me when I was premenstrual and my heavy constant bleeding. I was desperate and come here to TH-cam for some information. A lady on a video I watched said to take 2 full tbsp of organic black strap molasses. I was so desperate I went right out and got some. I had been bleeding for a month straight. I took 2 tbsps as soon as I got home and just like the woman said, it was gone by the next day. I shared this with a close friend and it lightened her flow considerably. It stopped with in a couple more days. I hope this will alsohelp some of you out there.
Unfortunately my GP doesn't pay attention to any of these symptoms I share 😩😭very frustrated.

The best treatment is replacing the hormones you are losing. Just like you would replace thyroxin if your thyroid stops working properly. Oestrogen is has far more benefits than curing only hot flushes - it also prevents heart disease, osteoporosis, brain fog, dementia, depression, diabetes, lack of sleep
And causes cancer !

I am 52 and only a couple months ago thought I might be going through perimenopause as I got an early period. Meanwhile for the past 10 years I've been experiencing bad migraines on a monthly basis and a week ago got a prolapse which I haven't seen the doc for but while taking a bath realised that I am feeling something I didn't feel before.

Hi Bonisha
It is best to go back and see your doctor about this as there could be a number of reasons such as thyroid deterioration, low vitamin B12, Diabetes or even stress. Your doctor can do a proper examination to determine what is happening with you.
YES, Thyroid Can and also cause premature menopause ok,,,Just go out for natural Cure now okay before it is too late for you,,Use AGBARA HERBAL DEEP ROOT CLEANSER or The Agbara herbal powder mix with Lime this will cure this problem very fast,,,,Early menopause usually refers to onset before age 45. Premature menopause or premature ovarian insufficiency occurs before age 40. Menopause occurs when your ovaries stop producing eggs, resulting in low estrogen levels. Estrogen is the hormone that controls the reproductive cycle.
Thank you doctor! I already make an appointment

Hi Garmina
Glad to be of help.
Muscle pain can often be due to low magnesium so you ,ay find a magnesium supplement, approx 200mg twice a day. Also Google 'magnesium rich foods' and try to have a good combination every day.

This is crazy... I'm coming back as a man lol!
That's what I always say too! I would rather have ED than this shit! LOL!!!!
But then you’d still have to deal with menopausal women ... and that’s pretty bad too
Same i suffering
It's apointed for man to live once and then there is the judgement day. Please find Jesus Christ and repent from your SINS and you will be saved and born of the Spirit of God. Seek Jesus with all of your heart and you will find him. Remember there is everlasting life that you can have trugh Jesus Christ your saver who died for you on the Cross and took on himself your SINS. You are in the last days make sure your soul is SAVED.

Hi, I m 47yrs old woman ,had non stop bleeding a year ago and Doc did ablation and my periods was normal again cyclus 28-30days, 6-7 days period each cycle. Now a year later i m bleeding non stop again. Is this again a perimenopause symptom?
Hi Suzan
It could be that your hormones are starting to change again but it is wise to check with your doctor first. Prolonged bleeding is really not good for you and can cause anaemia. Your doctor may be able to give you something to stop the bleeding and then check to see why this is happening again.

For me not eating at the right time, meaning at the onset of hunger. I will get a headache. So I can’t get hungry and wait to eat, I have to eat something right away, else I will feel like I am dying. Happens at least once’s a month at around my cycle.
Hi M D
Blood sugar control can often become much more erratic in the menopause so this is quite common. I found if I waited too long I got really irritable and angry! :)

I got bleeding for more than 2 weeks but i dont feel anything uncomfortable, no cramps , no any pain, no hot flashes no blood clots, like normal only...but if it continues i must go to have a check.
Yes, Regina, it is still wise to double check with your doctor.

I'm finding I'm wearing a tenor pad daily, losing urine near my period especially, doctors are no help.. Had tests seemed fine. What's causing this please help?
Hi Rachel
As we age and go through the menopause, the muscles that hold up the bladder can weaken and this can cause leaking. Also, the bladder valve itself can be affected by low oestrogen which can stop it working properly leading to leaking too.
Dehydration can also be a factor; if you don't drink enough your urine can become really acidic and this will irritate the bladder making you need to go more often.
Specific exercises such as Pilates can often help so it may be work contacting a Pilates instructor in your area to see if you can get some lessons.

Hi I am a post menopausal 58yrs old was put on ovestin vaginal cream 2yrs ago I wasnt happy to go on it but my gp insisted I did so for vaginal atrophy and bladder atrophy all was fine until 2 mnths ago I started spotting weed eastrogen cream out during the night pink discharge a few days later went straight to gp explained what I did treated me for thrush as she examined me said I had thrush although I had no symptoms she sent me for a vaginal ultrasound which said my womb had thickened to 10mm which can happen taking eastrogen without progesterone so was sent for a biopsy had no anesthetic told to take a paracetamol and it would feel like a period cramp it felt like being flayed alive ! The gyne failed the biopsy so now I have to wait months for a hysteroscopy and another biopsy as there is a huge waiting list in my area I have started spotting again last week as I weed out the cream twice during both nights unintentionally just like before so think this has caused the spotting again and terrified which escalates my stress levels probably making this situation a lot worse can a few days without eastrogen cream mess up my hormones? As this 2nd time is exactly same situation as the first thank you .
Hi Leea
I'm sorry to hear that you are in this situation and I know we get many women in similar circumstances having to wait ages to be seen! Unfortunatley, I don't know if stopping the cream would be an issue for you, I am sure your pharmacist would have enough information on the brand that you are using and be able to tell you the best way forward
I do hope your next experience will be more comfortable for you
