Fact sorted out from fiction, on menopause
BY MELODY FALCONER
CLINTON - A number of women
gathered in the Huronview auditorium on
the evening of September 11 in an at-
tempt to sort out the fact from the fiction
with regards to menopause.
The evening called, "What's Happening
With My Body?" was jointly sponsored
by the Huron County Health Unit and
Women Today.
'Ruth Linton, a public health nurse
specializing in sexual health, spoke about
the physical changes brought on by the
end of menstruation; and Geraldine
McAlorum of Women Today dealt with
the emotional changes.
"Women learn about menopause from
other women instead of talking to profes-
sionals. Many feel that it is the end of
their social value and it is our hope that
we put a stop to this belief right here in
this room tonight" explained Ms. Linton.
For young females, menstruation
begins at puberty, and it is believed it is
triggered when the girl reaches a weight
of 95 pounds.
•By the time a young woman reaches
the age of 25 the estrogen levels that her
body produces begin to decrease steadi-
ly, until between the ages of 45 and .55
there are insufficient levels being produc-
ed to maintain menstruation; thus
menopause results.
--Ms. Linton described the signs of
menopause as cessation of menstruation;
vasomotor symptoms; and drying and
atrophy of vaginal 'membranes.
'Side effects include insomnia, fatigue,
weight gain, headaches, hair loss, con-
stipation, depression, and changes in sex -

ual feelings,
Hot flashes are one of the most com-
mon side effects of menopause. This un-
comfortably warm feeling may be felt for
15 seconds or five minutes, once a month
or once an hour depending on the
woman.
The triggers of hot flashes change
depending on the woman, some common
causes include caffeine, alcohol, spicy
foods, hot weather, or stress (more than
40 per cent of women experience hot
flashes when under stress) .
There is tremendous variance from
women to women with regards to the
premenopausal time..Pericds may be er-
ratic, stopping for months at a time; ar-
riving early or late; and proving to be
long or short, heavy or light.
These symptoms may last up to 10
years, although most last only two years.
Only about five per cent of women
menstruate beyond the age of 53. Approx-
imate4y eight per cent experience
menopause before the age of 40.
A woman that has a tubule ligation or
a hysterectomy may reach menopause
earlier.
"It is an old wive's tale that women
who have it earlier have it longer. The

easiest way to judge what your
menopause stage will be like is to consult
your mother and sisters regarding their
experiences," commented Ms. Linton.
Ms. McAlorum described menopause as
the mature stage of life in which ladies
have reached perfection.
"It is a time of change for both your
body and your role in life. It is a very
stressful period of life; parents die,
spouses retire, children leave home, you
become a grandparent. It is crucial that
at this time you must be positive and try
to feel good about who you are," said
Ms. McAlorum,
The ladies in the audience than discuss-
ed as a group a variety of topics dealing
with menopause and middle age.
It was mutually decided that
menopause is not an end to a woman's
sex life but rather a new beginning as
less emphasis can be placed on the wor-
ries of periods or pregnancy.
Middle age is a time for freedom, both
personally and finanrially. Women are
able to put the experiences they have
gained to use whether it be through com-
munity involvement or education; and
they are also left with more time to con-
centrate on their spouses.
