I wonder how the menopause was dealt with back in medieval times when it hadn't been identified as a medical condition. Were older women thought to be generally miserable buggers back then?  |

They rounded them all up and put them in the front line of the army. Could just imagine lining up against a load of menopausal, toothless hags, but you've been to Chams, so you'll know what it's like  |

Women didn't make a fuss of it in the past.. in fact even today in many cultures they don't have it.. yes biologically they go through it.. but they don't seem to suffer the issues many western women do...

quite seriously the angle we were looking at it from was that its the way in western cultures psychologically once you hit this stage in your life its heading towards the end.. Other cultures see getting older as a fantastic thing.. and for some reason didnt suffer the physical effects many westerners seem to suffer.
so our question on this subject is yes hormones change, but are the symptoms psychosomatic.? and to be honest it pointed very well to that.. and actually there is a study that was where they gave some European women FAKE HRT tablets.. and all of them showed improvement in their symptoms.

Same here, it was over and done with before I even noticed it. I will also support what Cali said. I lived in India for a while and meet a lovely Indian lady Obstetrician/Gynaecologist who also practised in the States. She seldom saw patients with problems in India. There a woman gain status with age and are not measured by remaining "youthful". |
