If you want more intimacy in your sex life, here are some helpful guidelines:</p><ul><li><em>Be present.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/i.pinimg.com/originals/42/1a/ba/421abad5ffbb6baff030f625ea485a32.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/i.pinimg.com/originals/42/1a/ba/421abad5ffbb6baff030f625ea485a32.jpg' /></noscript> </em>Focus on the experience rather than letting yourself get distracted by random thoughts. Think about and enjoy what you are experiencing and how you might give pleasure to your partner in return. In her research, Lori A. Brotto, PhD, the executive director of the Women’s Health Research Institute and the Canada research chair in women’s sexual health at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver has found significant improvement in responsiveness in women suffering from anxiety-related sexual dysfunction through use of mindfulness training. Mindfulness allows them “to non-judgmentally focus on sexual sensations in their bodies before and during sexual encounters, and indirectly, by improving mood and decreasing stress and anxiety.” (4)</li><li><em>Know thyself. </em>Know your sexual needs and be true to yourself, says Michael Krychman, MD, the executive director of the Southern California Center for Sexual Health in Newport Beach. Only then will you know what to ask for.</li><li><em>Work together to get in sync.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/pbs.twimg.com/media/DVSgMvhXcAEGFdV.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/pbs.twimg.com/media/DVSgMvhXcAEGFdV.jpg' /></noscript> </em> Men and women may have different priorities in relationships. If you can each be open to and respectful of each other’s priorities, there may be less frustration. “In general, women need intimacy to feel sexual, while men need sex to be intimate. When he has sex with you, then he will want to talk to you. Women are more likely to need that trust before they will allow sex to occur,” says Bartlik. This can make for misunderstandings and frustration, but open communication can go a long way to minimizing it.</li><li><em>Rewrite the script in your head. </em>When you try to be sexual, are there negative refrains going through your head that make you ashamed of your body or your technique and make you shut down? (“My stomach sags. Who could make love to that?” “She’s secretly laughing at my small penis.”) Dr. Krychman recommends this process: Recognize the thought, extinguish the thought, and replace the thought. When the judgy tapes in your head start up, recognize this is a negative thought, focus on the positive, and replace that thought with: “I am enjoying the sensations of being close, connected, and intimate with my partner.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/turntable.kagiso.io/images/Screen_Shot_2017-11-13_at_8.56.48_PM.width-800.png' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/turntable.kagiso.io/images/Screen_Shot_2017-11-13_at_8.56.48_PM.width-800.png' /></noscript> This should be my new focal point. Let me focus on my sexual feelings and experience in the moment.”</li><li><em>Stay in touch even when you are apart.</em> When you and your partner have been separated for a while, you can get disconnected. It may take a little while to reestablish the rhythm of intimacy. While we all decry the ways overuse of technology can be detrimental to real connection, “the internet and mobile applications can provide a great way to extend the intimacy in relationships and feel closer even when we are physically apart by keeping in touch during the day through text messages, Skype or Facetime or sharing photos,” says Anna M.

And there’s a fairly simple top-line answer: It’s one of your body’s responses to reaching the <u>height of sexual arousal</u> (or being turned on). </p><p>“During orgasm, the uterus and muscles of the pelvic floor contract in a rhythmic fashion that is pleasurable for most women,” explains <u>Dr. Brandye Wilson-Manigat</u>, obstetrician and gynecologist (OB-GYN), California, US. This can feel like throbbing, twitching, tensing, or spasms in your <u>vagina and anus.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9745/104141577.f1/0_c9488_dc6420cd_orig.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9745/104141577.f1/0_c9488_dc6420cd_orig.jpg' /></noscript> </u> “Some women report a sensation of their whole body being involved in the contractions.” </p><p>Orgasms don’t just happen out of the blue. They can feel like a <u>buildup of pleasure</u> and sexual tension. And that’s because orgasm is just one part of your <u>body’s sexual response cycle</u>. Prepare for some sexy science now; there are different phases when you’re feeling frisky. </p><ul><li>Desire: Having the urge to be intimate with a partner or alone. Your heart rate might quicken, and the blood flow to your vagina will increase. This pushes <u>fluid to the surface</u> of your vaginal walls, giving you the sensation of being wet. </li><li>Excitement or feeling turned on: Your heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure will continue to increase, and you might notice that <u>your clitoris</u> and <u>labia (the inner and outer lips of your vulva)</u> start to feel more sensitive.</li><li>Orgasm: This is the big O. The muscles in your vagina, uterus, and anus will contract (it might feel like a squeezing sensation), and you might feel a quick release of sexual tension.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/cc.ashemaletube.com/images/2020-02/1d/5e49b61d898d4/5e49b61d898d4-full-117.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/cc.ashemaletube.com/images/2020-02/1d/5e49b61d898d4/5e49b61d898d4-full-117.jpg' /></noscript></li><li>Resolution: This is when your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing return to normal, and you might notice a warm feeling of well-being or satisfaction. </li></ul><p>Did you know that no two orgasms are the same? They can<u> vary in length and intensity</u> (but more on that below).</p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="What_happens_during_female_orgasms,_and_what_does_it_feel_like"></span>What happens during female orgasms, and what does it feel like? <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p>Trying to explain what an orgasm feels like to other people can be really tough. We rarely have anything that we can compare our <u>own orgasms </u>to, and like falling in love, people often say you “just know” when you’ve had one. You might even notice that climaxing feels different to you each time. This is totally typical and healthy. </p><p>“Orgasms can feel different, even if you are stimulating the same spot in the same way,” says Dr. Wilson-Manigat. “Some are more like a ‘fireworks on the Fourth of July’ sensation. Your whole body feels like it’s at a celebration. Others may feel like a slow burn, giving you a warm, satisfying sensation.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/pbs.twimg.com/media/CXDgfyFW8AA32Jz.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/pbs.twimg.com/media/CXDgfyFW8AA32Jz.jpg' /></noscript> ”</p><p>While it might feel like all the action of your orgasm is taking place in your genitals, there’s a lot going on in your brain, too. When you orgasm, <u>your brain releases a surge in dopamine</u>, the feel-good hormone. This helps you to recognize what you enjoy and gives you that sense of pleasure. Your <u>brain also releases oxytocin</u>. This is sometimes called the bonding hormone because it triggers a sense of love and attachment. </p><p>Sounds pretty amazing, right? This surge in happy hormones is just one reason why reaching the big O is good for you. Keep reading to find out why. </p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="What_are_the_different_types_of_female_orgasms"></span>What are the different types of female orgasms? <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p>You might have heard your friends talk about an amazing nipple orgasm or an <u>intense anal orgasm</u> and wondered whether these are different types of orgasms. Here’s your answer: This is actually a little bit of a myth. “When people say there are different types of female orgasms, they usually mean which <u>erogenous zone</u> was stimulated for orgasm,” explains <u>Dr.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/img21.pixhost.to/images/207/76147615_teenage-sex-n76-018.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/img21.pixhost.to/images/207/76147615_teenage-sex-n76-018.jpg' /></noscript> Sara Twogood</u>, obstetrician and gynecologist, California, US. “It’s not that the orgasm itself is different; it’s the way the orgasm is achieved is different.” </p><p>So let’s break that down. If you stimulate different parts of your body, you might reach orgasm. Areas that can help you to orgasm are:</p><ul><li>Clitoris: According to a survey published in the <i>Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy</i>, around <u>36% of the 1,000 women</u> they spoke to said they needed some form of clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm. You can see part of your clitoris just above the <u>opening of your vagina.</u> It pays to know where your clitoris is, so <u>you can learn more about yours here.</u> </li><li>Vagina: This is when you climax during vaginal penetration. A study found that only <u>18% of female orgasms</u> come from vaginal stimulation.</li><li>Anus: You might experience an anal orgasm while having the outside of your anus touched. </li><li>Erogenous zones: <u>You have erogenous zones</u> all over your body.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/http/www.philsp.com/data/images/c/climax_197708.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/http/www.philsp.com/data/images/c/climax_197708.jpg' /></noscript> These are places where it feels really good to be touched. Some erogenous zones include your breasts, lips, neck, and thighs. </li></ul><p>No matter where you’re being touched, if you reach orgasm, your body responds in the same way. But it’s so important to remember that there’s no “right” type of orgasm — we all experience sexual pleasure in different ways. It’s very healthy to explore what you like either on your own or with a partner you trust. </p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Where_does_the_Gspot_come_in"></span>Where does the G-spot come in? <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p>In your conversations about orgasms, you might have heard about the elusive G-spot, or the Grafenberg spot to give it its full name. Did you know that you might be able to feel your own G-spot? It’s thought to be<u> inside your vagina on the upper wall</u>. It swells when you’re feeling aroused and can feel bumpy, a little bit like a walnut. </p><p>Some people believe that you can reach orgasm by stroking and pressing on the G-spot. However, that’s still not certain where scientific evidence is concerned.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/i.ytimg.com/vi/fL1QDpV97zQ/maxresdefault.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/i.ytimg.com/vi/fL1QDpV97zQ/maxresdefault.jpg' /></noscript> In fact, some research has suggested that the G-spot doesn’t even exist and that it’s just <u>part of the structure of the clitoris that’s inside your body.</u> To learn more about your anatomy and the way your body works, you can <u>download an app like Flo. </u></p><p>There’s no denying that the G-spot is a hotly debated topic. But when it comes to getting intimate with a partner or having fun alone, you don’t need to worry too much about pleasure politics. If you’ve found something that makes you feel good, then keep going. </p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Male_vs_female_orgasms_How_do_they_differ"></span>Male vs. female orgasms: How do they differ? <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p>It might feel like it takes you ages to reach climax, whereas your male partners can get there in 30 seconds. But while the timing of orgasms can differ, fundamentally, male and female orgasms are the same. “Both are the release of built-up sexual tension resulting in rhythmic muscle contractions in the pelvic floor,” says Dr. Wilson-Manigat. </p><p>“It seems to be easier for males to orgasm simply because their penis can be directly stimulated during intercourse, whereas for women, stimulation of the areas on her body that can lead to orgasm is not as easily achieved with [penetrative] intercourse alone,” Dr.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/www.eroboom.org/photoset/Vintazh/1498923602/478623b1583b9f3121e7753605a17a5a/9998e9eade8ad914acd9087f89013041/WWW.EROBOOM.ORG_602478623-3.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/www.eroboom.org/photoset/Vintazh/1498923602/478623b1583b9f3121e7753605a17a5a/9998e9eade8ad914acd9087f89013041/WWW.EROBOOM.ORG_602478623-3.jpg' /></noscript> Wilson-Manigat continues.</p><p>One key difference between male and female orgasms is that male orgasms usually involve the ejaculation of semen. <u>Female ejaculation</u> can happen when fluid is released from <u>the Skene’s glands</u>, two ducts found on either side of your urethra (the <u>tube connected to your bladder</u> that allows urine to leave your body). This can feel like a trickle of liquid. You might not even notice it’s happened. </p><p>Another key difference is that female orgasms can come in multiples — one after the other in a short amount of time. “Males have a longer resolution (<u>also known as refractory</u>) period so have longer time between orgasms, whereas females can have consecutive orgasms,” explains Dr. Twogood. So while it might take you a little bit more time to get there, in the right situation, you could reach climax after climax. Lucky, right?</p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="How_to_orgasm"></span>How to orgasm <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p>There’s no cheat sheet to having an orgasm. The best way to work out what you enjoy and how you might most easily reach climax is by <u>experimenting with masturbation</u> (with your fingers or a sex toy) and by communicating with your sexual partner(s).<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/javhd.pics/photos/japanese/climax-girls-serina/2/climax-girls-serina-10.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/javhd.pics/photos/japanese/climax-girls-serina/2/climax-girls-serina-10.jpg' /></noscript> </p><p>“<u>Masturbation is important</u> to learn about your own body, to see what feels good and what movements, textures, vibrations, and pressure the body is responsive to,” says Dr. Twogood. “Everyone is different! What is arousing for some people is not for others.” </p><p>There’s a myth that female orgasms are complicated and elusive, but that’s not at all true. “Orgasms are not inherently difficult to reach,” says Dr. Wilson-Manigat. Here, she gives some tips on how to reach orgasm.</p><ul><li>Explore your body. “The first thing you need to know is where to stimulate and spend some time <u>exploring those areas</u>. Pay attention to what feels good to you.” </li><li>Be in the moment. “Orgasm is easier to reach when you are present and in the moment.” One way to do this is to <u>find mindfulness techniques</u> that work for you. These include practicing breathing exercises, meditation, and body scans. </li><li>Try to relax. “You may have the <u>intention to orgasm</u>, but don’t get so caught up in reaching orgasm that you can’t enjoy the buildup of pleasure and excitement.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/x3vid.com/images/6293/ep1.xhcdn.com_000_114_161_269_1000.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/x3vid.com/images/6293/ep1.xhcdn.com_000_114_161_269_1000.jpg' /></noscript> Relax into the sensations and enjoy the journey.” </li></ul><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="What_are_the_health_benefits_of_female_orgasms"></span>What are the health benefits of female orgasms? <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p>Aside from feeling great, Research has suggested that female orgasms <u>have several health benefits.</u> Win, win!

It’s estimated that <u>65% of heterosexual women, 66% of bisexual women, and 86% of lesbian women</u> usually or always reach orgasm during sex with a partner. The people who orgasm the most are more likely to receive oral sex, be more satisfied with their relationship, and feel comfortable asking for what they want in the bedroom.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/cdn.germanscooterforum.de/post-6014-1123188818.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/cdn.germanscooterforum.de/post-6014-1123188818.jpg' /></noscript> </p><p>And while it may not be something you feel comfortable speaking about with your friends, they’ll likely have experienced not reaching the big O all of the time, too. You might struggle to orgasm for so many reasons, and it’s crucial that you don’t blame yourself. </p><p>One factor could be that you may <u>not be getting the sexual stimulation you need.</u> Problems within your relationship or a previous sexual trauma can play a role in struggling to orgasm. And hormonal changes such as transitioning into menopause can impact your experience in the bedroom. You also might just not orgasm every time you have sex, which is a totally normal thing. </p><p>Some <u>medical conditions that impact blood flow and nerve supply</u> to the pelvis can affect your ability to have an orgasm. These include <u>hypertension</u>, coronary <u>artery disease</u>, multiple sclerosis, and <u>spinal cord injury</u>. And <u>certain medications like antidepressants </u>(such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and blood pressure medications may also make it harder for you to reach orgasm.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/i.ytimg.com/vi/XHqu6RQkxWM/maxresdefault.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/i.ytimg.com/vi/XHqu6RQkxWM/maxresdefault.jpg' /></noscript> If you take any medication, you can speak to your doctor about whether it could impact your libido and ability to have an orgasm. </p><p>We all deserve a satisfying sex life, so if you’re struggling to reach orgasm, then don’t be afraid to speak to your doctor. They may ask you questions about any changes in your life and your relationship. They may also pass you on to a specialist (like a sex therapist). </p><p>Dr. Wilson-Manigat explains that in some cases, struggling to orgasm can be a sign of <u>female orgasm disorder</u> (it used to be called <u>anorgasmia</u>). “It’s characterized by delayed, infrequent, or absent orgasms after sexual arousal,” she says — even if you’ve tried all the things you know you like. </p><p>“The cause of female orgasmic disorder is complex, and no single cause has been identified,” adds Dr. Wilson-Manigat. “It can be associated with stress, relational issues, depression, anxiety, certain medications, chronic illness, and chronic pain conditions.” </p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="What_is_the_orgasm_gap"></span>What is the orgasm gap? <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p>A term has been coined that refers to the fact that statistically, women have fewer orgasms than men.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/pbs.twimg.com/media/FNCf4dOXoAIHtzl.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/pbs.twimg.com/media/FNCf4dOXoAIHtzl.jpg' /></noscript> It’s called the “<u>orgasm gap</u>.” </p><p>“The orgasm gap is a term to describe the difference in orgasm frequency between women and men,” says Dr. Wilson-Manigat. “The way I explain it is, for every 10 times a heterosexual couple engages in sexual intercourse, the man will orgasm eight to 10 of those times, while the woman will orgasm four to five of those times. For women in lesbian relationships, the number of orgasms for women will increase to six to eight of those times.”</p><p>“A common feeling is that sex is over once the male partner has climaxed. That leaves open the question of what happens to the female partner?”</p><p>One study revealed that women orgasm <u>around 62% of the time</u> while having sex regularly with a familiar partner. This is compared to 85% of the time for men — but the research into the orgasm gap varies. </p><p>“A common feeling is that sex is over once the male partner has climaxed,” explains Dr. Twogood. “That leaves open the question of what happens to the female partner if she hasn’t climaxed.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/bufetprl.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/fantasy2.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/bufetprl.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/fantasy2.jpg' /></noscript> How is sex over if she still wants to climax?” </p><p>A recent study even showed that <u>women who have a harder time reaching orgasm </u>stop prioritizing their sexual pleasure, meaning that they end up having fewer and fewer orgasms. No matter how difficult it is for you to reach orgasm, you deserve a <u>healthy and fulfilling sex life</u>. </p><p>Having said that, it’s important to know that orgasms are not the be-all and end-all of sexual pleasure. You can still have a positive, satisfying sex life even if you don’t orgasm every time or at all. But no one should be made to feel like their sexual enjoyment isn’t important. If having orgasms is important to you, you should try to open a conversation with your partner about it. </p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Can_you_speak_to_your_doctor_if_you_can%E2%80%99t_orgasm"></span>Can you speak to your doctor if you can’t orgasm? <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p>“If you’re having trouble climaxing, start with your doctor,” recommends Dr. Wilson-Manigat. “They may be able to rule out some of the medical conditions, like hypertension or diabetes, that can affect blood flow and nerve endings to the genital area.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/colorclimax.dk/_library/files/CCC_Garantee.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/colorclimax.dk/_library/files/CCC_Garantee.jpg' /></noscript> ” </p><p>Once you’ve had an initial chat with your doctor, they may refer you to an OB-GYN.

However, there are a number of reasons why menopause may begin earlier. Causes of early menopause can be:</p><ul><li> <b> The ovaries stop producing the right amount of hormones </b> due to autoimmune diseases or genetic predisposition.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/i.ytimg.com/vi/4QhYyaMkjdk/maxresdefault.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/i.ytimg.com/vi/4QhYyaMkjdk/maxresdefault.jpg' /></noscript> In this case, a woman may experience menopause before the age of 40. To help the body, it is important to carry out hormone therapy at least until the age of physiological menopause. This will help prevent premature health problems.</li><li> <b> Surgical spaying </b> , after which menstruation stops and menopause occurs almost immediately. Hormonal changes occur abruptly, so a woman’s body feels serious stress.</li><li> <b> Surgical removal of the uterus </b> , after which menstruation stops, hormone production gradually decreases. Menopause begins earlier than usual, but more gradually than in the case of removal of the ovaries.</li><li> <b> Chemical or radio beam therapy </b> in the treatment of cancer may induce menopause. In the case of radiation therapy, the effect occurs only if the ovaries are specifically irradiated.</li></ul><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Menopause_treatment"></span> Menopause treatment <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p> We have already said that if the climacteric period did not come naturally and much earlier, the woman definitely needs hormonal therapy.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/i.pinimg.com/736x/16/f7/0c/16f70c3e73cf8a54c417b6732b71f787.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/i.pinimg.com/736x/16/f7/0c/16f70c3e73cf8a54c417b6732b71f787.jpg' /></noscript></p><p> Treatment of natural menopause is necessary if its symptoms complicate life. For example, when memory impairment and irritability interfere with normal work. Recall that most diseases occur due to a lack of hormones, so everything is decided by hormone therapy. It allows you to artificially maintain the necessary level of hormones in the body.</p><p> In the clinic “BaltMed on Vasilevsky Island” we select drugs and make a regimen of hormone replacement therapy individually for each woman. In the recommendations, we prefer natural estrogens and their analogues. If the patient has a preserved uterus, be sure to include progesterone in the regimen to exclude endometrial hyperplasia. We also provide advice on lifestyle changes. We discuss the importance of giving up bad habits and maintaining proper nutrition, as well as regular visits to doctors, primarily a gynecologist.</p><p> It is the gynecologist who prescribes the necessary examination and, based on its results, draws up a hormone replacement therapy regimen.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZTBiOTM4ZGUtZDVhOC00NDRiLWE3MzYtYWY1MjUxODQ4NmU2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDA2ODI5MTQ@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZTBiOTM4ZGUtZDVhOC00NDRiLWE3MzYtYWY1MjUxODQ4NmU2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDA2ODI5MTQ@._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg' /></noscript> It is important to choose a qualified specialist, since improper hormone intake can provoke thrombosis or the appearance of tumors. A well-designed scheme is designed to relieve the symptoms of menopause and make a woman’s quality of life better. The gynecologist also monitors the changes in the woman, adjusts the course and makes additional appointments. For example, in the absence of menstruation for 5 years, some patients notice urine leakage when sneezing. This is due to dryness in the vagina and urethra. To control this process, it is important to choose candles or ointments for artificial moisturizing.</p><p> If necessary, the gynecologist also recommends additional methods to return the woman’s life back to normal. For example, he advises the patient to work with a psychologist in order to get rid of the idea that the onset of menopause speaks of old age, to cope with depressive moods that exhaust and deprive a woman of strength. With the right mindset and therapy, menopause can be as comfortable for a patient as her whole life.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/media.tenor.com/images/f500e674e9adadd8b26fdaa34807ac2f/tenor.png' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/media.tenor.com/images/f500e674e9adadd8b26fdaa34807ac2f/tenor.png' /></noscript></p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Resume"></span> Resume <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3><p> Thus menopause is a stage in a woman’s life, which is laid down by nature.

The totality of conditions and changes occurring in the body during this period is referred to as the “climacteric syndrome”.</p><p> The onset of menopause is a natural process that cannot be prevented, but it is possible to control it, minimize negative factors, alleviate symptoms, and maintain vigor of the body and spirit throughout the menopause and postmenopausal period.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/2.bp.blogspot.com/-lgyx8tU7rHw/U3b2c8kmfjI/AAAAAAAAT0o/_cGc74tpofU/s1600/001.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/2.bp.blogspot.com/-lgyx8tU7rHw/U3b2c8kmfjI/AAAAAAAAT0o/_cGc74tpofU/s1600/001.jpg' /></noscript></p></p><p> It is impossible to say exactly what time menopause begins in women – everyone has individual genetics and health conditions, and the reproductive system functions differently. As a rule, menopause in women occurs after 45 years. During this period, there is a deficiency of estrogens – the most important female hormones that are produced in the ovarian follicles. Lack of these hormones causes ovarian failure and leads to menopause.</p><p> Wrong lifestyle, bad habits and other negative factors can contribute to premature menopause (35-37 years old).</p></p><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Stages_of_menopause"></span> Stages of menopause <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3></p><p> The decline of reproductive function in women occurs gradually. In general, the menopause can be divided into 3 main stages:</p></p><ol><li> Early (premenopausal) <br /> Occurs around age 45, although in some women the first signs of menopause may appear as early as 38-40 years. The function of the ovaries is still preserved, but menstruation becomes irregular, the intervals between them increase.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/i.ytimg.com/vi/RD-TG5_uF18/hqdefault.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/i.ytimg.com/vi/RD-TG5_uF18/hqdefault.jpg' /></noscript> A woman may feel the first ailments associated with a change in hormonal levels, including a decrease in libido, headache attacks, a feeling of blues and apathy.</li><li> Intermediate (menopause) <br /> Occurs in women at 50-55 years of age. Immediately during menopause, the ovaries stop working, menstruation disappears completely, but occasionally it can come at very long intervals. It is at this stage that the climacteric syndrome manifests itself most of all. Estrogen deficiency can cause the development of various pathologies. Therefore, women are advised to contact specialists to correct the hormonal background and exclude complications during menopause.</li><li> Late (postmenopausal) <br /> This is the period from the very last menstruation to the end of life. Postmenopause is characterized by a complete “turn off” of the reproductive function, the disappearance or attenuation of all the unpleasant symptoms that plagued during menopause.</li></ol><h3><span class="ez-toc-section" id="Signs_and_symptoms_of_menopause"></span> Signs and symptoms of menopause <span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h3></p><p> At each stage of menopause there is a certain set of symptoms and signs, but they are most pronounced during menopause.<img class="lazy lazy-hidden" loading='lazy' src="//elispot.biz/wp-content/plugins/a3-lazy-load/assets/images/lazy_placeholder.gif" data-lazy-type="image" data-src='/800/600/https/st4.depositphotos.com/2824873/20036/v/1600/depositphotos_200362206-stock-illustration-menopause-symptoms-and-physical-changes.jpg' /><noscript><img loading='lazy' src='/800/600/https/st4.depositphotos.com/2824873/20036/v/1600/depositphotos_200362206-stock-illustration-menopause-symptoms-and-physical-changes.jpg' /></noscript> Women begin to notice changes in their health and appearance, in connection with which they turn to a doctor.
