Читать книгу With SEX, No Drugs and Rock'n Roll Through Menopause - Susanne McAllister - Страница 63

Some women experience extreme itchy skin during menopause that drives them nearly insane. Itchy skin during menopause is often the result of the drop in oestrogen. As the level of oestrogen in your body falls, so does the amount of collagen and skin-moistening oils produced. Therefore your skin ends up being dry and irritated. This can happen all over your body. This gets even worse when you are stressed because the stress triggers the release of histamine, which then can cause your skin to flush and itch.

If you’re dehydrated or take caffeinated drinks, your uric acid rises which makes the itching even worse.

Things that help

Fatigue can be managed by having better sleep habits too. Check out Chapter 8 and read all about how to sleep through menopause.
