Menopause Symptoms and Memory Loss- Check Out here!
Written by Liana Badea
While you may experience the misery of hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia as you enter menopause, one thing you can’t blame on menopause is memory loss.
In the latest studies that blame menopause as a cause of memory loss, researchers compared the memory of hundreds of women who had entered menopause to those who had not, and found very little difference. in four out of the five tests, there were no statistically significant differences in the two groups of women.
The reality is that when women go into menopause, they don’t need to worry about cognitive decline. the researchers said the myth of memory loss during menopause is a perception some women have because as they went through menopause, they felt their memory wasn’t as sharp as it had been before.
Studies suggesting that hormone replacement therapy might protect against dementia strengthened the belief that memory loss is caused by the hormonal imbalance at menopause. However, a large study later found that in older women, hormone replacement therapy not only didn’t help protect women from dementia, but could actually increase the risk. so what is the truth?
The truth is that as you enter menopause that does not mean you’ll develop memory loss. as you’re going through perimenopause and experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, anxiety, fatigue, mood swings, you may feel lousy and have trouble sleeping, which might temporarily affect your cognitive skills. how many times you felt your brain doesn’t work right after a night of insomnia, even if you are not menopausal?
As a final thought, I urge menopausal women to stop blaming menopause for their short or long term memory loss. Memory loss is not caused by the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone at menopause, therefore any hormone replacement therapy will not improve your cognitive skills.
