This is a scary word

The word climax did not tell me anything for a long time. Well, the grimzas of the teachers at the school and the University: yes, they, they probably have menopause … Well, brutal women in the subway and shops - and with these it is understandable. Occasionally, I heard rumors about my mother's friends: her husband left one, the other suddenly became disabled at fifty, and something happened to the third that they never told me. I thought: well, menopause, it's not at all soon … But time is inexorable, and the terrible word menopause is approaching faster and faster.

What happens to a woman between 45 and 65 years old? The body is rebuilding, the hormonal background is changing. Suddenly you begin to feel somehow strange: at night you are tormented by hot flashes, brain and physical activity decreases, your health worsens, and nervous breakdowns become more frequent. In general, suddenly, from a young, active and successful woman, you turn into a wreck. And naturally, it is during this period that the number of divorces increases.

But the psychological state is still half the trouble. The worst begins to happen to health, and there are real reasons for that. From about 45 years of age, women have a rapidly increasing risk of hip fracture, which is associated with accelerated bone loss (this is called the dreaded word osteoporosis). With such a fracture, 20% of women die within six months from the addition of a secondary infection, 50% become more or less disabled, and only 30% of women restore their previous degree of physical activity. In addition, it is the severe course of menopause that leads to an increase in women over 45 years of age in the incidence of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction (the main cause of death in women of adolescence in Russia), as well as diabetes mellitus, urogenital infections that cause urinary incontinence.

But it is at this age, at about 45-47 years, that it is so important to stay afloat: husbands begin to look towards young girls, employers also prefer young ones. You have to prove your worth as a professional and as a woman every day. This requires additional strength, and we do not need all these climacteric disorders at all. After all, at our forty-five, we definitely need to be a berry!

There is another side to this problem. Now in Russia, women in the pre- and postmenopausal period make up one fifth of the population (29.6 million - 20.3%). According to demographers' forecasts, by 2015, almost half of women in Russia (46%) will be between the ages of 45 and 65. Researchers believe that the current situation with the health of women over 45 in our country in recent years poses a direct threat to the health of the population and national security, and the losses it causes lead to significant economic damage! It turns out that the problem of menopause is not a personal problem of a single unhappy woman, it is a state problem. Researchers even calculated the economic damage caused by disability, premature death of women due to complex fractures, cardiovascular diseases - in 1999 it amounted to about 29, 3 billion rubles. Therefore, by protecting ourselves from climacteric disorders, we will not only help ourselves, but also contribute to matters of state importance.
