Dealing with menopause | DW Documentary 

Why is this a taboo, it's just part of natural process of life, why would someone think this is a taboo ?

@@demoncloud6147 did you watch the video? these women seriously in their 30s and experiencing menopause. that must be embarassing.

It's taboo because women from previous generations made it taboo

@@demoncloud6147 For the same reason having a period is "taboo". Puritanical brain rot

Now ur 😺😺😺😺 is dry 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'll be 43 in September, Sis. I'm feeling it and it blows. Huggggs.

Take glucosamine chondroitin and hyaluronic acid formulas before and after exercising. Collagen type 2 also works. I'm in my 20s but I can feel the benefit

This is not true it just depends with your body it may have worked for you but it didn’t work for me and I’m a personal trainer I enjoy working out 6 days a week and that didn’t help me

​​@@mosimosi630xactly it does NOT help everyone, I am in the top 10% of severe menopause symptoms and I get so angry when other women don't have it as bad and think this is the answer.

Now ur 😺😺😺😺 is dry 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I used to exercise regularly but now I can't since I now suddenly have a shoulder pain ( frozen shoulder??) I'm scared if I try to push through I will make my pain worse. How do ladies exercise through your menopause?? Any answer is greatly appreciated.

@@sagebay2803 Thanks for sharing - it's important! I had a lot of menopause challenges and the hot flashes were brutal, I tried 'everything'; Vitamins, diet change, supplements, water fasting, OMAD, and what not, but then when I tried cannabis the relief was instant and I'm not exaggerating, it was instant, like a miracle. I can still get a hot flash every now and then but that's always because of too much coffee/caffeine, or if I had some alcohol (or spicy food/strong cheese), those things can trigger the hot flashes/night sweats, but otherwise I'm okay now thank god. And that's thanks to cannabis. It's the only 'supplement' I take nowadays. That was also something I realized, that vitamins and supplements are often too much for the body to process/handle, so sometimes if I take a vitamin pill or whatever, I can get hot flashes from them too. Just something to think about and experiment with to see what happens if you stop taking them (just speaking generally/to every woman out there suffering). I know a lot of women who take massive amounts of vitamin pills and supplements and to me that just makes everything worse. Regarding exercise; I can't do cardio (get a sweat up) as it can trigger hot flashes (for me) but swimming is really good, and walking too, I love walking/hiking. We (women) have to just experiment and remove certain things to see what triggers the hot flashes and not give up if nothing seems to work, that was something I was very determined to do; to find relief, and I did. I know other women have too, cannabis has been used by women (and people overall) for thousands of years before it was banned, and I know that as we share these things and talk about them, more research can be done, not only for women's health, but also for all the other things it can help with.

@@sagebay2803 Glad to hear it was helpful to you 😊 Yes, I got those nudges too, to stop taking all the supplements/vitamins, and it really helped. When you're desperate you try anything, I even tried magic mushrooms (both trip and micro-dosing), but cannabis is absolutely the number one thing that has helped the most. Not only with the hot flashes but also with brain fog, insomnia etc, all the common symptoms of menopause. I tried HRT too (Hormone Replacement Therapy) but that didn't work for me, it just made everything worse, plus added some side effects too, like swollen fingers, nausea, and some other things I don't remember anymore. Not to say HRT can't help - obviously it can, many women take them and it helps them. It's the same with cannabis, we're all different, and I did a lot of trial and error in the beginning too; tried different CBD oils, hashish, different weed strains etc before I found what works for me. So the most important thing is to not give up and resign to just 'tough it out', but to keep doing research and experimenting and you'll (any woman out there suffering) will eventually find what works for you. If cannabis can help you, then I'm thrilled and very happy for you. There's nothing worse than the hot flashes, so to have found a relief - I simply have to share it with other women! I'm so glad to hear you're off the pills and that you have found a medical marijuana doctor who could help you. We don't have that yet here in Spain, but I definitely think it will come. We're getting there, and I'm so glad to see cannabis be on the rise even if it's a slow process before the 'world' catches up on our revelations/discoveries. I did the carnivore diet too, but only for a short moment, it wasn't for me, but I'm glad to hear it works for you so thank you too for sharing tips! 😊

@@sagebay2803 And yes, I agree with the women's health not being taken seriously. I learned in my research that there's not much being done or invested in women's health issues actually, so yes, definitely still very much Middle Age mentality!

So hemp seeds are good?

@@alicemacharia8738 I don't know if they help relieve hot flashes but you could just try and see 😊

You're not entitled to anything just because of your gender

@@bleachdiet559 that's your opinion if you feel like you can't support women around and or those related to you,then don't, that's too bad. I said every kind of support they women can get when going through this and I'm not withdrawing my statement! Who feels it knows it you obviously got no idea what it's like!🤐

@@wangariwairimu1st That's your opinion if you feel like you can't support men around and or those related to you,then don't, that's too bad. I said every kind of support they men can get when going through this and I'm not withdrawing my statement! Who feels it knows it you obviously got no idea what it's like!🤐

Imagine having a 6 years shorter life expectancy due to higher work related stress, making up 93% of workplace fatalities, 96% of deaths due to war, 76% of suicides and homicides, 80% of the homeless, having a 3.6 times higher incarceration rate for the same crimes, having a lower chance to get adoped and so on... and getting no help from the opposite gender

@@bleachdiet559 copying and pasting 😂🤣 so lame and brainless

If he asked back then you would have allowed him to see sexual workers to make up for your low libido ?

Women bail men with low libido all the time, so he played the uno reverse card

I completely agree. I’ve been on a low carb diet for a few years and I’m going through menopause now. I have no symptoms… no weight gain… nothing. I’ve just turned 50 and never felt so good 😊

When I was 19, I worked with women from South America, and they told me women there know not to eat carbs the day their period starts. I found the night before also helped, and maybe the day after it began. I never had a problem for the whole of my fertile life. Now with menopause, coffee and alcohol will shoot flashes through the roof, so I just stay away. Walk every day, always maintained a healthy diet, very little dairy.

​@@Omeomy Your use of the word "fertile" hit me hard.😢

Hormone replacement has been a Godsend for so many women, and often a first line of treatment, not a last resort.

This does affect men. Name one male condition that gets the public awareness female conditions get. Women conditions get all the media awareness and preventative programs. Like breast cancer awareness day, cervical cancer, pink ribbon day, and various days to bring attention to womens issues. Men dont get any of that. Most men hate going bald, and some men spend thousands of dollars trying to fix it. There is no awareness day for that, or prostate cancer and other mens issues.

Like they did for prostrate issues right?

If there was any semblance of truth in your comment, they would have cured male pattern baldness.

yes, we in the west ignore our problems so the women can feel alone and terrible and the men can also feel confused and terrible.

😂 I'm praying that was wrote with my level of humor and sarcasm, I just spit coffee all over my bathroom mirror..

@@jessicaotto7110 a Dylan mulvaney comment 🤮

are you saying that women are incapable of doing scientific research?

FemceI spotted

Not really - can you imagine what life would be like when your wife is going through menopause?

Phenomena like menopause make me sort of believe the story that women were created after men. In other words, that women were meant as an upgrade over the baseline human version (men) but ended up being overcomplicated and failure prone. A similar analogy is modern cars vs cars from the 70's: these older cars seem to run forever, are easier to work on, can get you from point A to B but pollute more, and the modern ones are stuffed with electronics which improve comfort, safety, but have a higher failure rate and are a nightmare to troubleshoot.😂😂😂😂 Jokes aside, I wonder if the two genders originated simultaneously or not.🧐

@@TheStockwell 🤡👍

Men ALL Pause ⏸️

@barbaraboix8211 hall of cost.

You can live without wife and dont speak with you women relatives, your choice🥴

😂

Sure than can. They can get pregnant too. I mean, no one really knows what a woman is anyway.

@@michaeltellurian825 apparently all cis women who cannot go through menopause are no longer women, according to Michael here. Thankfully people are learning about the complexities of the world and don't see everything as if through the eyes of a 3-year-old who is too stupid to understand that not everything is black-and-white.

🤦🏼‍♀️

EXCUSE ME? This is the most cis-woman privileged things to say.

What has that to to with menopause? Its hormonal.

If you have a vagina you can get it. Otherwise not. Simple as that. This has nothing to do with feeling but with bioligy.
