Menopause And Skin 

Learn The Effects!

 

The subject of menopause and skin, which is already aging is important for understanding the daily maintenance of anti-aging for soft, moist skin. However, there are other affects you should know about as it is important to understand a few of the symtoms leading up to menopause. 

Menopause is defined as the time when a woman has been diagnosed as not having a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months.  This signfies the permanent cessation of menstruation.

The average woman normally begins menopause in her early to mid-50's. Leading into this time, changes in hormone production occur, most notably a decline in oestrogen levels (hypo-oestrogenism).

It is important to know that oestrogen affects every organ system of the body, including the skin, and that oestrogen receptors are most abundant around the genital area, face and lower limbs. This is why these areas are especially vulnerable to reduced amounts of circulating oestrogen and are the reason for certain skin conditions involving these areas to be more common in peri- and post-menopausal women than in women of other age groups.  

Menopause And Skin In The Beginning  

The time leading up to menopause is described by:  

  • menopausal transition

  • peri-menopause or climacteric. 

During this time, which may precede several years before menopause, fluctuations in menstrual cycles and hormonal changes occur. This is evident from the signs and symptoms that a woman might experience.

Common peri-menopausal signs and symptoms

  • Irregular periods (may not occur every month, may be light or heavy)  
  • Hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, night sweats (a sudden flush of heat or a warm feeling, possibly blushing) 
  • Mood swings and or depression
  • Vaginal dryness 
  • Changes in skin (particularly around genitals but also in other areas resulting in laxity, reduced body and scalp hair and dryness  

What treatment is available for menopausal symptoms?

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been shown to have beneficial effects in preventing many of the signs and symptoms experienced in peri- and post-menopause, including urogenital and general skin and hair problems. 

HRT may consist of oestrogen tablets, patches, vaginal rings, implants or cream (particularly useful for atrophic vulvovaginitis), or a combination of oestrogen and progestogen as patch or tablet. However, the HRT is no longer recommended for healthy women without specific problems caused by menopause.

Other treatments for urogenital problems may include:

  • avoidance of soaps and harsh rubbing of the affected area to prevent further irritation of the skin
  • topical or oral antibiotics if infection is present
  • emollients and bland lubricants to keep the area moist
  • antidepressants, particularly if pain is neuropathic.
  • natural remedies that are safe and effective 
  • Over the counter medications such as Cystex for the sensitivity of tissue caused by not drinking enough water.  
    It is important to hydrate throughout the day.
