Menopause is the ceasing of a woman’s menstrual cycle due to the decline of reproductive hormones. During the change from pre-menopausal to post-menopausal phases,** FSH and LH levels will spike significantly.**
This spike occurs because decreasing levels of estrogen cause the ovaries to cease production of this hormone, resulting in decreased negative feedback on the hypothalamus and pituitary glands, which control the release of gonadotropins—hormones responsible for regulating reproductive function including Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH). During menopause, when there is an absence of eggs, FSH increases its efforts to stimulate follicles that are already atrophic.
High levels of FSH during menopause can lead to poor egg quality, infertility, hot flashes, night sweats, hair loss and other associated symptoms. Similarly, ** high levels of LH** can also contribute to these same issues as well as inability for eggs to implant into the uterus leading to potential miscarriage risk.
Women who are going into menopause can take hormone therapy pills or injections prescribed by their gynecologist to help manage their symptoms caused by hormonal imbalance such as FSH and LH spikes. However, if a woman chooses not to take hormones for her menopausal symptoms there are some alternative solutions that may help alleviate her suffering:
