I think that virtually everything is related to each other, when it comes to our physical and emotional connections. I tell my choir students that living a healthy and strong lifestyle builds a stronger vocal instument – and it does. Strength training is good for practically everything (if done correctly, with a trainer initially) It builds and maintains sexual desire; it builds self-confidence and esteem (which is certainly related to good sexual expression) since it has the potential to dramatically alter one’s body shape; and it even builds cardiovascular strength and endurance. All of this is beneficial to one’s sex life.

Question by Polly: What is the difference between perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause?
What are the differences between these and what are some symptoms of them?

Best answer:

Answer by Erica Jalone
The most common symptom of perimenopause, menopause signs symptoms associated with it is menstrual irregularity and spotting during the monthly cycle. Frequent periods for too long and heavy bleeding or light bleeding occur during peri menopause. While osteoporosis has now become common among women whose calcium intake is less, it also happens to women prior to entering this state.

As women grow older they tend to lack in calcium that weakens the bones and osteoporosis settles in. Taking 1500 mg calcium daily can prevent this from happening. Elevated cholesterol levels are also one of the symptoms. With age, the good cholesterol decreases and bad cholesterol will increases leading to coronary disease.

A rigid dietary control is essential during this period. The transition varies for each woman. Some experience it according to a mother’s or elder sister’s transition and changes at that time. With the decrease in the Estrogen hormone, some physical changes like hair loss, facial hair and weight gain are some problems that upset a woman.

A good diet and regular exercises will help in maintaining a balanced metabolism. This includes flushing out the system by drinking water which should be at least 8 glasses a day. Natural herbs can be taken after consulting a doctor.

Question by fergilicious: Are there similarities between the symptoms of early pregnancy & perimenopause?
I am 36 and 6 days late. I already have children and was not planning on more, so I do however recognize the symptoms of pregnancy. I have taken several home pregnancys tests and they all result in a negative reading? I did have unprotected sex so pregnancy could be a possibility. My mom go through menopause early she is convinced that I am going through perimenopause. Anyone every experience similar, or know anything about this I have been doing some research and cannot find much information. HELP!

Answer by MacJedi
Yes, there are lots of similarities. I had this happen when I was about your age – skipped one period completely, and was sure I was pregnant. The primary difference is that when I was pregnant my breasts were very sensitive, and with perimenopause, that doesn’t happen so much.
