Menopause help is possible for menopause signs symptoms when you understand the main underlying causes for symptoms of menopause. Menopause help IS available online since millions of women experience menopause signs symptoms each year.

First, here are the most common symptoms of menopause:

* Anxiety and depression * Endometriosis * Fibroid tumors * Foggy, fuzzy thinking and memory lapses * Hot flashes and night sweats * Inability to handle stress * Irregular menstrual cycles * Light or heavy menstrual flow * Lumpy or tender breasts * Mood swings * PMS * Sleep problems * Vaginal dryness * Water retention and bloating * Weight gain

To obtain menopause help for menopause signs symptoms, understand female hormones, the menstrual cycle and how hormone imbalance happens. In a healthy menstruating woman, estrogen is the main hormone produced for the first 10-12 days following the previous menstrual flow. Ovulation then signals the female body to produce progesterone, which occurs for the next 12 or so days. Progesterone and estrogen levels will drop at around day 28 if there's no pregnancy, and menstruation begins.

However, if there is no ovulation, progesterone cannot be produced that month. This is called an 'annovulatory cycle' and is a typical occurance today for women in their 30's and 40's. Without ovulation and progesterone production, the woman then has an excess of estrogen, a deficiency of progesterone and definitely needs menopause help.

And once ovulation no longer happens at menopause and after, progesterone levels fall to virtually zero. At the same time, estrogen is still being produced, leading to hormone imbalance, menopause signs symptoms and the need for menopause help. If the woman has had a hysterectomy, surgical menopause means the woman no longer produces progesterone. Besides the problems created by missed ovulations or hysterectomy, excess estrogen is also obtained from other sources such as birth control pills, household chemicals and pesticides, foods that have been sprayed and construction materials used in homes.

Physicians refer to the hormone imbalance condition of excess estrogen in the body as "estrogen dominance". Symptoms of estrogen dominance include low sex drive, bloating and weight gain, headaches, mood swings, irregular periods and excessive menstrual bleeding. If unopposed estrogen in the female adult increases beyond what is desirable and healthy, you will definitely experience menopause signs symptoms. On the other hand, when your hormones are balanced, you will no longer need menopause help since you feel alert, energetic and ready to take on the challenges of everyday life.
