Among all the symptoms, the most common are hot flashes, which are considered a heat stroke caused by a failure in the brain’s regulation of body temperature, which was achieved with the help of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone; but when it begins to decrease in the body, the brain does not know how to regulate the temperature, resulting in annoying hot flashes.<\/p>\n

Climacteric can occur up to five years before menopause and remain up to 15 years after it, that is, for up to two decades. Because of this, it is very important to receive timely medical attention.<\/p>\n

As a woman, you should pay attention to your periods and notice if they are having changes such as changes in color, duration, or smell. If you perceive one, or several, of these changes, it may mean that you are approaching the beginning of your climacteric.<\/p>\n

If you have the slightest suspicion that you are entering climacteric or menopause, it is important that you see your doctor to detect the symptoms and determine if they are related or not. If so, they will make some recommendations and even indicate the specialized treatment or, if necessary, refer you to another specialist.<\/p>\n

Dr. G\u00f3ngora points out that each case is unique and, therefore, the treatment you will receive will also be unique. From the age of 40 new diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure can occur; which, together with the symptoms of menopause or climacteric, can worsen. For this reason, it is of great importance that you don\u2019t miss your general check-ups.<\/p>\n

Something very important to keep in mind is that climacteric and menopause are completely normal stages in your life, and the first step to cope with them is to have a positive attitude, eat well, rest, exercise, and go to your medical checkup.<\/p>\n
