“…Increased body composition, hysterectomy, and oophorectomy are risk factors for severity of these symptoms, as was seen in this case. 11 Further, the comorbidities that the patient had, especially thyroid dysfunction, though mild, was significant in her because of the coexistence of cardiovascular risk factors. This indicates a need for addressing the subclinical hypothyroid state in her.…”

Classical homeopathy was shown to be beneficial in climacteric syndrome in many studies, but the clinical effect is unclear. To inspect if individualized classical homeopathy has a role in treating complaints after surgical menopause through real world case, we present a case of a 54-year-old Russian woman treated with individualized classical homeopathy for multimorbid conditions after surgical menopause examined for changes from homeopathic treatment. We assessed changes in climacteric symptoms, changes in comorbidities, and the general well-being of the patient. The woman had severe climacteric syndrome, pelvic inflammatory disease, dyslipidemia, obesity, hepatic steatosis, pancreatic lipomatosis, gall bladder disease, and mild subclinical hypothyroidism to begin with. She was treated with individualized classical homeopathy and followed up for 31 months. She was relieved of the vasomotor symptoms and psychological disturbances of climacteric syndrome, her weight reduced, the ultrasound scan showed absence of lipomatosis/gall bladder disease/hepatic steatosis. Blood tests showed reduction of thyroid stimulating hormone and a balance in the lipid status. Individualized classical homeopathy may have a role in the climacteric syndrome and comorbidities after surgical menopause. The efficacy of homeopathic therapy in climacteric problems must be scientifically investigated further.

“…First, addressing the opposite relationship observed between ancestral residence and symptom severity, this could be partially due to confounding variables. A greater proportion of ancestrally patrilocal women report to having ever smoked regularly, and smoking is commonly identified as being a strong predictor of menopause symptoms (Avis, Crawford, & Green, ). Furthermore, ancestrally patrilocal women also had slightly higher parity within this sample, and the number of children a woman has has been observed to associate with increased menopause symptoms, possibly due to increased stress (Barth Olofsson & Collins, ; Blumel et al, ; Chedraui et al, ; Chlebowski et al, ; Jaber, Khalifeh, Bunni, & Diriye, ).…”

Current ecology, not ancestral dispersal patterns, influences menopause symptom severity

All human females who reach midlife experience menopause, however, it is currently unclear why women experience this period of infertility, and why it is accompanied by many unpleasant symptoms. Using primary data from four ethnic groups in China, we test an existing theory that age of menopause and its symptoms are the result of intragenomic conflict between maternally and paternally inherited genes, with the outcome of such conflict predicted to be contingent on the ancestral postmarital residence pattern of the female (Úbeda, Ohtsuki, & Gardner, Ecology Letters, 17, 2014, 165). The model predicts that being ancestrally patrilocal results in less intragenomic conflict, causing a shorter, less symptomatic perimenopause that terminates in a later menopause. Our findings show no support for this hypothesis and suggest current, rather than ancestral, residence patterns better predict aspects of the menopausal transition. Furthermore, current patrilocality when compared to duolocality is associated with more severe menopause symptoms, which may be due to sexual, rather than intragenomic, conflict.

“…В период МП и постменопаузе пациентки нередко предъявляют жалобы на ощущение «туманности» в голове и нарушение памяти. Деменция доминирует среди женщин (16%) по сравнению с мужчинами (11%) [18]. Нарушение памяти характеризуется синергичностью по отношению к ВМС, нарушением сна, аффективными расстройствами [19].…”

The menopause – a new chapter giving women a lust for life

Many women equate the word menopause primarily with decline of life. On the one hand, the aesthetic component of the delicate age makes negative contributions to the dissatisfaction with this state; on the other hand, the growing pool of somatic health problems does not improve the quality of life in the best way. The woman’s path of life is unique and consists of chapters of beginnings and endings, losses and gains. A person, who develops harmoniously and consistently, reaches their creative climax by the age of 50. This is the age, when a person is able to plunge into their inner world more deeply, and the perception of what is happening in the outer world weakens. Mental maturity, accumulated experience, well established social connections allow a person to feel confidently in everyday reality. However, the physiological changes associated with menopause and the reproductive function failure affect the personal history of each of the fair sex in one way or another. Not a simple, but at the same time a very significant period begins after 50 years, when it is necessary to conquer new peaks and overcome new distances. Only a thoughtful and successful start of menopause can provide a sense of satisfaction and a cloudless horizon in physical well-being.
