Women and Men Experience Menopause by Ginger Malone
To begin with, someone should come up with a better definition for menopause other than referring to it as the "change". Men go through menopause, yet they are not labeled as such; but that's another topic for another article. Suddenly, the 70s' Harry Chapin song seems appropriate, "All my life's a circle; sunrise to sundown..." Perhaps menopause should be called the circle of life.
It can certainly be said that most women who experience menopause have a positive outlook during the entire time. Perhaps it's a byproduct of not having to go through their periods any longer, or dealing with PMS, or simply looking forward to enjoying life and intimacy on a whole new level.
Even though the symptoms accompanying menopause can be irritating, to say the least, it doesn't in any way diminish a woman or her role in society. In fact, there is no neurological disorder associate with menopause. Whether or not a woman experiences depression during this time is not any different than any other time in her life. The notion that a woman in menopause is somehow labeled as having emotional problems is absurd. So too is the stereotypical derogatory terms used just before a woman's monthly cycle.
To say that life changes occur about the same time as menopause is another untrue notion. Women and men evolve every day; one thing has nothing to do with the other. Yes, children grow up, parents become old, and decisions are made which alter one's course in life; but that is the point. Changes are made based upon our needs; our desire to change; to develop and grow; to become empowered by those changes. Menopause is just a fact of life. It neither changes nor diminishes a woman, but makes her stronger.
While it may no longer be true that menopause is a stigma, but to look upon it as a normal part of the life which allows every woman to continue to enjoy life to its fullest. On the other hand, if one takes the viewpoint that menopause is the start of the end, it will eventually become a disruptive and difficult adjustment to accept. Remember 50 is the new 40.
Change is sometimes difficult, even under the best of situations. Whether you have to move from a residence you've lived in for half your life, or if your spouse passes away; these times require periods of grief and regret. It's a natural and necessary course one must take. However, menopause does not need to invoke feelings of doom. Instead of fighting it; embrace it. If help is needed, there are so many support groups available to help you through it eg Meetup.com. No one said life was going to easy; and this cycle of life is no exception.
