Menopause Support – How To Overcome the Menopausal Myths

Menopause takes on new dimensions these days, reaching more and more women either when they have just returned to the work force or when their job careers are peaking.

As a consequence, the problem that their mothers generally faced alone at home must now be approached in a way that will minimize its impact on women at work. Every woman reaches menopause at some time in her life. Some women face it in their early 40s, others in their early 50s, with most women becoming menopausal in the mid- to late 40s.

Unfortunately, up to now menopause has been a matter too often not taken seriously. Jokes are still being made about hot flashes, and even today menopause is seldom explained and dealt with frankly and openly. Witches' tales are still told: that you dry up, you get hairy, you sweat all the time, you lose control of your functions, your, libido is lost. All of these, of course, are at best half-truths that can be dealt with intelligently with a doctor's help.
