How can you be 100% sure? This article will go through some of the tell-tale signs to help you better understand it and work towards feeling better about yourself.

Common Menopausal Symptoms

Believe it or not, sometimes women can demonstrate all the early signs and signals. This is quite common in ladies who are under 40 years of age. But, if you ask any healthy 20 year old female if she is in her pre-menopause stage, most will deny it. The misconception out there is that only women in their 40s can be at risk. This simply is not true.

Anyone at any age can begin to show these signs. What can you expect? Often, mood swings are an early sign that something isn’t right. However, the evidence here is inconclusive. In other words, it can be common for anyone to be on an emotional roller coaster ride. This is part of everyday life.

Do changes in your mood indicate that you may have a hormonal imbalance or estrogen level issue? Once again, this is not always the case. Quite often, a lack of sleep or hypotension can cause relates issues that are not directly caused by anything remotely menopausal related.

Are You Premenopausal?

Have you gained an excessive amount of weight recently? This could mimic the triggers associated with premenopause. For example, some females who are overweight have infrequent menstrual symptoms and bleeding patterns that are irregular. Before jumping to conclusions, if you notice any of the conditions mentioned above, you should consult your health practitioner.

What About Relief, A Treatment, Or Cure?

As you have probably noticed, a ton of remedies have flooded the market recently. With the Baby Boomers in their 50s and 60s, it’s no surprise that smart companies are trying to offer products that best suit their needs. As a result, everything from pills to magic sprays have hit the market offering instant relief.

Do they work? Unfortunately, these products are designed to help mask the problem, but there is no cure. As an aging female, you must be in touch with your body. Embrace change and rejoice as you transition through this new stage in your life.

If you are able bodied, happy and full of energy, the inconvenience of wild moods and night sweats are really insignificant compared to other health ailments that many of us experience while reaching the age of retirement.

Don’t get yourself down if you experience the triggers often associated with “the big M”. After all, like many things in life, this too will pass. Unlike serious health issues, this is not something that will last for years or cause you to be uncomfortable for the rest of your life.

And at the end of it all, if you can say goodbye to your menstrual cycle and hello to your newfound freedom, this alone is a good reason to celebrate!

What Is Paget’s Disease Of The Breast?

It is an eczema type change in the skin of the nipple, and most women that develop it, will have an underlying breast cancer.
Paget’s Disease occurs in about 1 or 2% of women that have breast cancer, it appears firstly as a scaly, red rash affecting the nipple and the areola. It can be very sore, may bleed and it will not go away.

The disease can be difficult to diagnose, because it can be very similar to other skin problems like eczema or dermatitis, but this disease usually affects the nipple first then spreads to the areola, whereas the other skin problems usually start in the surrounding areas, first before spreading to the nipple.

I have been asked to include the following in this article, it is taken from an actual case, where the person with the disease wanted this message passed on by you, to all the ladies in your life, Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, Aunts and Friends.

“A lady developed a rash on her breast, similar to that of young mothers who are nursing. Because her mammogram had been clear, the doctor treated her with antibiotics for infections.

After two treatments it continued to get worse, her doctor sent her for another mammogram, and this time it showed a mass.

A biopsy found a fast growing malignancy. Chemotherapy was started in order to shrink the growth; then mastectomy; then a full round of Chemotherapy; followed by radiation treatment.

After about 9 months of intense treatment, she was given a clean bill of health. She had one year of living each day to its fullest. Then the cancer returned to the liver area. She took four treatments and decided that she wanted quality of life, not the after effects of Chemotherapy.
She had 5 great months, and she planned each detail of the final days.

After just a few days of needing morphine, she slipped away saying she had done what God had sent her into the world to do.”

PLEASE be alert to any thing that is not normal.

Her message is shown below:

“Paget’s Disease: This is a rare form of breast cancer, and is on the outside of the breast, on the nipple and areola. It appeared as a rash, which later became a lesion with a crusty outer edge. I would not have ever suspected it to be breast cancer, but it was. My nipple never seemed any different to me, but the rash bothered me, so I went to the doctor for that. Sometimes, it itched and was sore, but other than that it didn’t bother me.

It was just ugly and a nuisance, and could not be cleared up with all the creams prescribed by my doctor and dermatologist for the dermatitis on my eyes just prior to this outbreak.

They seemed a little concerned. Mine started out as a single red pimple on the areola. One of the biggest problems with Paget’s disease of the nipple is that the symptoms appear to be harmless. It is frequently thought to be a skin inflammation or infection, leading to unfortunate delays in detection and care.

What are the symptoms? The symptoms include:

A persistent redness, oozing, and crusting of your nipple causing it to itch and burn. (As I stated, mine did not itch or burn much, and had no oozing I was aware of, but it did have a crust along the outer edge on one side.)

A sore on your nipple that will not heal. (Mine was on the areola area with a whitish thick looking area in center of nipple).

Usually only one nipple is affected. How is it diagnosed? Your doctor will do a physical exam and should suggest having a mammogram of both breasts, done immediately.

Even though the redness, oozing and crusting closely resembles dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), your doctor should suspect cancer if the sore is only on one breast. Your doctor should order a biopsy of your sore to confirm what is going on.

This message should be taken seriously and passed on to as many of your relatives and friends as possible; it could save someone’s life

My breast cancer has spread and metastasized to my bones after receiving mega doses of chemotherapy, twenty eight treatments of radiation and taking Tamaxofin.

If this had been diagnosed as breast cancer in the beginning, perhaps it would not have spread”.

TO ALL READERS: This is sad as women are not aware of Paget’s disease.

As we all know, early diagnosis is so important with all kinds of diseases, so if you are in any doubt about any medical problem, for goodness sake, make an appointment to see a Physician, soon as possible.
