Humans are bestowed with the reproductive system by nature. Males and females have distinct reproductive systems. Their characteristics get accentuated during adolescence. Females start getting menses, which is time repetitive in nature. The cycle has interval between 21 to 35 days for individuals, with 28 days taken as an average. Women encounter bleeding during menstrual period. This is the most worrisome part in a woman’s life, when she feels exhaustion coupled with mood changes. The menses disappear at certain age generally between 45 to 55 years of age, causing menopause. The time between the first signs of irregular menses to actual termination also varies from two to ten years. However, a few years before actual menopause, women experience a transitional period. The menstrual cycle goes irregular in terms of the time interval and intensity of bleeding.
Studies have been conducted to assess the impact of menopause on women’s life. It is widely accepted that anxiety and apprehension are major sentiments faced by women during the menopausal transition. Women start feeling that something is wrong with their body due to erratic changes they experience during this intervening period. The studies have shown that the concerns felt by individuals are common across the female population. The findings would relieve womenfolk of their heightened worries about some queer things happening to them. The studies also show that bleeding irregularities are inseparable part of impending menopause and that it has to be faced dispassionately to retain emotional stability. The findings have come just in time to reassure women, who do need succor in such an emotionally difficult period. The study was conducted specifically to address these relevant issues.
The important findings can be grouped into three segments. Variation in number of days, quantum of bleeding and age are represented in these three segments.Women now can check for themselves, where they stand in the statistical data and approach suitable entities to discuss their individual cases. The study is expected to help women to get better treatment for their menopause related physical or emotional ailments.
Many cases in the study have shown that the number of days bleeding is experienced, exceeds even 10 days. The study is conducted across many ethnicities, geographical locations, thus avoiding any bias. Many a cases had the experience of bleeding for six or more days. Some had the same experience for just about three days. Thus, statistically speaking, all possibilities exist and there is nothing greatly abnormal if one gets bleeding with dissimilar frequency. One would certainly need medical advice, if their individual experience falls much beyond these stated figures.
A pattern involving irregular and heavy bleeding is also found in quite a number of cases. Heavy bleeding causes heightened worries to women, thereby complicating the pattern. Experts have felt that women need to monitor their cases over sufficiently longer period of time to understand their own pattern. Relatively early age of menopausal onset is another situation involving emotional turbulence. Women in this category tend to lose patience in this period.
This delicate subject needs further understanding and study in detail. It would be a great help for women, if the findings of the study on bleeding irregularities in menopause are discussed in many formal and informal settings. Women would be really feel relief, if their concerns are addressed at a professional level at various forums.
