Do people experiencing menopause have a higher risk of frozen shoulder?
Yes, menopause can increase the risk of frozen shoulder due to hormonal changes affecting joints and connective tissues. Stretching and consulting with a physiotherapist can help manage this condition.
Can menopause lead to constipation?
Yes, hormonal changes during menopause can lead to constipation. Drinking lemon water on an empty stomach in the morning, combined with regular stomach self-massage and stretches, can provide relief.
Are you having issues with sleep?
Sleep issues can be managed by diffusing calming essential oils like lavender, taking magnesium biglycinate supplements, or eating tart cherries or drinking tart cherry juice. Omega 3, 6, and 9 supplements and listening to calming vibration frequencies can also aid in better sleep.
Will we experience any outbreak of rash or hives on the face? Dry face? Is this part of perimenopause?
Yes, these symptoms can occur during perimenopause. Solutions include using antihistamines, moisturizing with rose hip or coconut oil, collagen supplements, and skincare products like Aveeno’s Skin Relief lotion. Cold packs, Suu Balm, or TCM treatments can also be helpful.
Is hot flash a definite when I still feel warm despite that the air conditioner is switched on at 25 degrees?
Yes, feeling warm despite a cool environment is a hallmark of hot flashes. Identifying triggers (like caffeine or stress) and managing them can help. It is important to understand your body!
Have you experienced tightness around the hips and fatigue?
Tightness around the hips and fatigue can be addressed with physiotherapy, Bojin TCM massage, or shockwave therapy.
Can I check for hot flashes, does it feel like you have a fever and keep sweating?
Hot flashes often feel like a sudden wave of heat over the body, not necessarily like a fever. Some may experience increased blood pressure or facial warmth that leads to perspiration.
