Brain fog: when the brain shuts down
Do you have trouble concentrating? Following a conversation? Or finding that cursed word on the tip of your tongue? This phenomenon, often described as “brain fog ,” can be directly linked to hormonal fluctuations.
Tingling, pinpricks… What if it’s hormonal?
Unusual sensations in the hands or feet, such as numbness, itching, or tingling, may occur due to nerve damage related to the drop in estrogen .
Dry eyes and blurred vision: an unexpected side effect
Dry eyes are common during menopause. The glands that naturally moisturize the eyes become less effective, causing irritation and visual discomfort .
Changing body odor
Some women notice that their body odor changes. Sweating becomes more abundant and sometimes more acidic . This phenomenon is explained by hormonal changes and the increase of certain bacteria on the skin .
Fine hair, tight skin
The less estrogen there is, the drier, thinner, and more sensitive the skin becomes. Hair thins and loses volume, while slight fluffiness may occur on the face. These transformations can be slowed down with proper care and a balanced lifestyle .
And even… Digestive problems
Bloating, slow bowel function, gas, loss of appetite: the digestive system also reacts to this hormonal upheaval. It is affected by the decrease in estrogen , which interferes with digestion and overall metabolism.
In short: knowing better means living better.
Early menopause is neither a myth nor a taboo. It’s a reality experienced by thousands of women in France , sometimes as young as 35. By recognizing these signs early, you can anticipate them, adjust your lifestyle, and seek advice at the right time. Never forget: everyone talks, you just have to know how to listen.
