"Suddenly I felt a 'whoooosh' and so much blood came down , down my legs and soaked the chair I was sitting on!"
Surprise heavy bleeding hits 25% of women in perimenopause (usually at the worst possible moment!)
Why? Your hormones are playing musical chairs - estrogen builds up extra uterine lining, then progesterone shows up uninvited for a major clean-out
When to call doc: If you're soaking through protection hourly or feeling worried
Pro tip: Keep emergency supplies everywhere. And maybe skip the white pants for a while! 😉

Note: While common, always get checked if bleeding is concerning you. Your doc has seen it all!

ستايل توك مع شيرين حمدي - جلنار عصمت بتحكي عن تقلبات فترة انقطاع الطمث #Style_Talk

انا هبدا بالاجابه على الاسئله دي من اخر سؤال.... ايه اهم حاجه اتعلمتها في السنه اللي فاتت ؟
اتعلمت ان انا ما اعرفش قدراتي الحقيقيه ايه... وعمري ما هعرفها غير لما بتحط في المواقف اللي بتستدعي ان انا اعمل حاجات ما كنتش متخيله ان انا ممكن اعملها .
اتحطيت في تحدي ( تحدي جميل اي نعم ولكن تحدي ) والحمد لله قدرت اقوم بيه وقريب جدا هتشوفه نتيجه التحدي ده!!.
وبعيد عني انا اتعلمت من كل الاحداث اللي دارت في اخر السنه دي ان الظلم مهما طال اجلا او عاجلا الحق بيبان واصحاب الحق هيرجع لهم حقهم! و اتعلمت ان الجيل الجديد ممكن يكون اقوى مننا . احنا كنا فاكرين انه مش مهتم غير بمشاكله الشخصيه ولكن مع احداث غزه ظهر هذا الكم من الشباب و حتي الاطفال اللي حسوا بانتماء لقضيه فلسطين و من ده اتعلمت ان الحق عمره ما بيموت.
نفسي ايه يتغير في حياتي؟ نفسي ابقى ملتزمه اكتر. نفسي اني ما ابقاش بسيب كل حاجه لغايه اخر لحظه 🫣 نفسي اثق في قدراتي اكتر . نفسي اعرف استغل وقتي بشكل احسن!
واخر حاجه بتمنى ايه في السنه الجايه.؟.. بتمنى اني اكون راضيه عن نفسي. بتمنى ان يكون ليا دور ايجابي في حياه ولو شخص واحد بس. بتمنى ان كلنا نسعى ان يكون لينا دور ايجابي ولو في مجتمعنا الصغير و في الدواير بتاعتنا الصغيره . نفسي ان نبطل نقول انا ما ليش دعوه ده ما يخصنيش. نفسي اتعلم اكثر من الشباب ومن بناتي ازاي احط هدف قدامي واوصل له واني ما اخافش.
نفسي في السنه دي نشوف فلسطين حره!

A question we get asked a lot. How do I know if what I'm feeling is actually perimenopausal symptoms or not?
Firstly we need to answer the question of what is perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the period that precedes the cessation of menstruation completely and we consider a woman to be menopausal or having stopped menstruating when there has been 12 consecutive months without a period full stop .
Perimenopause is the time that proceeds this it usually lasts from four to eight years before your final period and the majority of symptoms that we associate with menopause tend to happen during this period.
But again how do I know that I'm currently in perimenopause?
Since this stage tends to have a lot of symptoms that can be overlapping it's important that we first start by asking five questions that could help us figure out if this is perimenopause or something else.
Q1. Are you in your 40s or 50s? Perimenopause usually starts during your 40s but that does not stop the fact that sometimes women can experience peri menopause starting their late 30s up to their late 50s.
Q2. Is your monthly period irregular or it has changed in any way?
Having an irregular period is one of the earliest signs of perimenopause. Also changes in the period itself meaning the flow could be heavier or lighter than usual is also a signal.
Q3. Do you suffer from hot clutches and or night sweats? hot flushes and night sweats are two of the most common symptoms of perimenopause and it usually happens because the hormonal changes affect your bodies ability in regulating its temperature.
Q4. Are you having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? Sleep problems is another common symptom that many women suffer from during perimenopause. The hormonal changes can cause either difficulty in falling asleep or if you wake up you find difficulty falling asleep again.

يعني ايه ٩ من كل ١٠ سيدات مش بيربطوا بين الأعراض اللي بيعانوا منها و مرحلة انقطاع الطمث ؟ بكل بساطة لأن اعراض ما قبل انقطاع الطمث كثيرة و متنوعة و لأن ٩٠ ٪ من الستات ما عندهاش معلومات كافية عن هذه المرحلة و اعراضها ، نجد أن كثير منهم لا يربطون بين اللي بيحصل لهم و المينوبوز. انا شخصيا بدأت الاعراض عندي قبل انقطاع الدورة بحوالي ٤ سنين بمشاكل في النوم و قلق ، و لم يخطر علي بالي ابدا ان دة ممكن يكون بسبب المينوبوز.ى
الحل ايه؟ أننا نزيد الوعي بهذه المرحلة و بالاعراض اللي ممكن تصاحبها!
هل تجربتك كانت مماثلة؟ هل عانيتي من اعراض و ما كنتيش عارفة أن دي اعراض ما قبل انقطاع الطمث؟
اكتبي لنا تجربتك في الكومنتس.

شهر أكتوبر هو شهر التوعية بمرحلة انقطاع الطمث(المينوبوز) و ضروري نستغل الفرصة دي بحيث صوتنا يكون مسموع.
مش معقول أن في مصر سنويا هناك حوالي ٤ مليون امرأة تدخل في مرحلة المينوبوز و ليس هناك اي دعم طبي أو نفسي او حتي مجتمعي لما نعانيه في هذه المرحلة. و التغيير لن يبدأ إن لم نقم بالمطالبة بحقنا في رعاية و علاج (إن لزم الأمر).
و لكن قبل أن نطالب بذلك، يجب أن يحدث التغيير فينا احنا كسيدات. ضروري احنا نتوقف عن التعامل مع انقطاع الطمث علي أنه عيب ! ضروري نتكلم عنه و نتعلم هو ايه و أعراضه ايه. ضروري نبدأ بنفسنا . و لا تنسي أن .
October is Menopause Awareness Month and we need to use this opportunity to make our voices heard.
It's not logical that Egypt alone has around 4 million woman annually that enter the menopause stage and we receive no support wether medical or mental or even societal. Change will not begin until WE start demanding our rights in adequate support and care.
But before we start demanding we need to make sure the change starts with us first. We need to stop regarding menopause as a taboo. We need to talk about it and learn about it. We need to start with ourselves!

Where has my s*xual desire gone?
Around 50% of menopausal women experience a decrease in their s*xual desire.
The main culprit is the decline in both estrogen and testosterone which are largely responsible in maintaining a healthy libido. With declining levels most women find that their arousal and libido fall quite drastically.
Another reason due to declining estrogen levels is dry va**nal tissues. This can lead to discomfort and pain during in*******se.
Other reasons related to menopause that can also be a contributing factor in lessening s*xual desire are:
Emotional and mental changes like anxiety and depression which affects the vast majority of menopausal women, can make the idea of intimacy daunting.
Chronic fatigue and problems sleeping.
Menopausal weight gain, which can affect a woman's self image and confidence.
Night sweats.

We need to change the concept that s*xuality and intimacy between couples has an age limit.
September is s*xual health awareness month and thus we need to normalise that intimacy and s*xual relations between couples is a taboo subject or concept.
Having a regular intimate relationship in every stage of your married life , whatever shape that might be for you, is crucial in maintaining both the psychological and physical health of both spouses.

How to overcome sleep anxiety
What is sleep anxiety?
Insomnia and trouble sleeping and staying asleep is one of the frustrating and challenging symptoms of menopause and many women suffer from it from time to time. But if it becomes a recurring problem it is normal to start getting anxious before going to bed.
Will I sleep today
How will I cope tomorrow if I don't sleep
I have so much to do!
Unfortunately this only makes the problem worse .
1. Stop trying to count how many hours are left before you need to get up. This will only stress you more.
Try instead to divert your mind into doing some progressive body relaxation.
Starting from your head, tense and relax every single muscle until the tips of your toes.
2. Keep your room clear of clocks or mobiles or any electronic, time checking device.
3. Do not use the time you are staring at the ceiling and trying to sleep, in going through your daily, weekly and monthly to-do list. This will pass the time but it will also keep your brain working fully.
You cannot sleep with an active brain!
Try doing deep breathing exercises. It helps to calm the nervous system, which will make it easier to relax an drift to sleep.
Inhale for a count of 6
Hold for a count of 4
Exhale for a count of 6.

5 tips to improve your Gut health.
1. Diversify your food intake with a wide range of vegetables and fruits to create a healthier gut microbiome.
2.Eat prebiotic rich foods. These are foods that contain a type of fiber that feeds your good gut bacteria.
Make sure you eat bananas, apples, artichokes, leeks.
3. Eat probiotic rich foods. Probiotics are the good bacteria that our gut needs to work efficiently.
They can be found in fermented foods such as torshy , sauerkraut, yogurt ( specially Greek yogurt), cottage cheese, onions, garlic or you can take a good probiotic supplement.
4. Drink from 2 to 3 liters of water a day. This will help with avoiding constipation and improve all body functions.
5. Walk for 20 to 30 minutes daily. This will help with gut motility and constipation.

We don't necessarily need a super complicated nutritional program or super expensive supplement to help our gut heal. Most of the time all that is required is some small but consistent changes in our system to make a big difference in our gut health as well as our entire well-being.
