The Thyroid in Menopausal Women

If you are experiencing Menopause you will probably know the discomfort of heat flashes or night sweats. The link between thyroid and menopause is significant as both conditions share similar symptoms and can influence each other. Hypothyroidism, or underactivethyroid, is more common in women, especially during menopausal age. The decrease in estrogen levels during menopause can affect thyroid function, leading to overlapping symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, and weight changes. It is crucial for women experiencing menopausal symptoms to consider the possibility of thyroid issues and consult with their healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Understanding the relationship between thyroid health and menopause is essential for managing symptoms and potential

complications associated with both conditions. Thyroid function can influence the severity of menopausal symptoms, as hormonal changes during menopause may affect thyroid hormone production.

What are night sweats and what causes them?

Night sweats are episodes of intense sweating that can soak through your clothes and bedding, disturbing your sleep. They are not the same as the normal sweating that helps regulate your body temperature. Instead, they are a response to a trigger, such as hormonal changes or an underlying medical condition.

There are several causes of night sweats, including:

  • Hormonal changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels during menopause, perimenopause, pregnancy, or as a result of conditions like primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) can cause night sweats. These hormonal changes can affect the part of the brain that controls body heat (the hypothalamus), leading to a glitch in the body’s internal thermostat and causing night sweats as a cooling mechanism.
  • Medications: Certain medications can cause night sweats as a side effect. These include some antidepressants, hormonal therapies, and steroids.
  • Underlying medical conditions: Night sweats can be a sign of various underlying medical conditions, including infections (such as tuberculosis or endocarditis), cancer (such as lymphoma), neurological disorders (such as autonomic dysreflexia), and endocrine disorders (such as hyperthyroidism). It is essential to consult a healthcare provider if you experience night sweats alongside other symptoms to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
  • Hyperhidrosis: This is a condition characterized by excessive sweating not related to any apparent reason or underlying medical condition.

BioAcoustic Menopause Research : We have successfully been able to assess the root cause of the night sweats or hormonal imbalances and to re-balance these hormone levels and the thyroid functioning with sound presentation, to completely remove night sweats and other hormonal symptoms associated with Menopause.
