“…However, it is known that the lipid profile alone cannot be effective on bone density, but estrogen level and the period of menopause would play important roles [10]. Also in our study, the HDL (p<0.001), LDL (p<0.01), and cholesterol (p<0.01) levels of women in menopausal period were found to increase as compared to the values of women in the pre-menopausal period.…”

“…Since the follicles in the ovaries of women in the menopause period are drained decrease in estrogen and progesterone hormone levels and as a consequence of this increase in the levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is a part of the natural process. If the blood FSH level is > 30 mIU/mL and the menstrual period had not occurred for one year the subject can be diagnosed with menopause [10].…”

Abstract:The target of this study is to determine the interrelation among serum Li level on bone metabolism (Ca, P, Parathormone, and Vitamin-D), sex and metabolic hormones (estrogen, FSH, LH and TSH), and some biochemical parameters in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. The study is carried out with 10 women, 5 of which is in the premenopausal period. The serum Li levels, bone metabolism indicators (i.e., ALP, Ca, P, Mg, Cu, and Zn) and some biochemical parameters such as serum triglyceride, alkalene phosphatase, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and cholesterol levels were determined. The estrogen blood level of women in menopause period was found to be lower than that of women in pre-menopause period (p<0.01) and the FSH level was found to be higher (p<0.01). In the lipid profile, the triglyceride level in the post-menopause period was found to be low (p<0.05) and HDL (p<0.001), LDL (p<0.001) and the cholesterol levels were found to be high (p<0.001). The alkalene phosphatase (p<0.001) and Vitamin-D levels (p<0.001) were found to decrease. When the mineral levels were investigated, no meaningful difference was observed in the serum magnesium and copper levels while zinc (p<0.01) and phosphorus (p<0.005) levels were observed to increase, the calcium levels (p<0.05) decreased and Li levels considerably decreased (p<0.0001). According to the results obtained it was determined for the first time that Li deficiency can be related with menopause and the related diseases and thus Li therapy can be used in developing new treatment protocols of menopause as an alternative method.

“…AFC and AMH have been limited to qualitative descriptors because these measures have not been standardized across centers and are used primarily in infertility populations and particularly in women over 35. 77 Addition of changes in estradiol to this schema permits understanding the clinical symptoms of changes in menstrual cyclicity, vasomotor symptoms and GSM, 78 in the context of evolving hormonal changes with progressive loss of ovarian function (Fig. 3).…”

In women, age-related changes in ovarian function begin in the mid-30s with decreased fertility and compensatory hormonal changes in the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis that maintain follicle development and estrogen secretion in the face of a waning pool of ovarian follicles. The menopause transition is characterized by marked variability in follicle development, ovulation, bleeding patterns, and symptoms of hyper- and hypoestrogenism. The menopause, which is clinically defined by the last menstrual period, is followed by the consistent absence of ovarian secretion of estradiol.

“…Menopausal coping strategies have been deemed as a necessary support for women undergoing menopause (Santoro et al, 2015) and these have been divided into hormonal and nonhormonal coping strategies (Ewuzie, 2007;Nnodum, 2004). The results of this study revealed that age may be a factor in menopausal coping strategies.…”

“…The author further stressed the need for self image improvement, marital and sexual satisfaction as supportive strategies to cope with menopause. Having mentioned the above coping strategies, Santoro et al (2015) further stated that menopausal women need support, counselling and education during menopause and were the need arises, hormone replacement therapy could be employed for hot flushes, while systemically administered selective estrogen receptor modulators e.g Ospemifene could be utilized for Vaginal dryness/ atrophy. They need to be encouraged, reassured, loved, and cared for, hence in situations like sleep disturbances appropriate clinical evaluation need to be done and managed accordingly while in case of depressive mood, drugs like citalopram and escitalopram that has less metabolic interactions could be utilized.…”

Abstract:We assessed the knowledge and awareness of menopausal coping strategies among women in Umuowa community, and we specifically looked at diet, exercise, estrogen replacement and their overall level of knowledge to these coping strategies. Two hundred and thirty-two respondents who had experienced menopausal symptoms responded to a questionnaire. Data collected was presented in tables and described with frequency distributions and percentages. Results showed that the level of awareness of diet, exercise and estrogen replacement as coping strategies for menopause were low. Also the overall knowledge about these strategies was also low among the women. Consequent upon these, we recommend enlightenment campaign and education of women about these strategies to cope with menopause while suggesting further studies on the subject matter.
