menopause-Menopause Symptoms and Memory Loss
"
Although you may be feeling the misery of hot flashes and mood of menopause, something that is not the fault of the memory loss "change."
The latest study, which relieves menopausal memory as a cause of loss of capacity, Taiwanese researchers compared the memory of hundreds of women before they have symptoms of menopause menopause memory used.
They found a woman in menopause, the process was as good or as well on five different tests of cognitive function. The results of the study are the fourth meeting of the American Neurological Association meeting in October in Toronto.
"When women go into perimenopause, they do not have to worry about cognitive decline," said Dr. Jong-Ling FUH, a physician at Veterans General Hospital Taipei and Yang-Ming University professor, Faculty of Medicine.
The researchers said the myth of memory loss during menopause is a perception, as some women go through menopause, they felt their memory was not as strong as before. Studies suggest that HRT might against dementia strengthened that to protect the faith. However, a large study later found that older women, hormone replacement therapy not only to protect women from dementia, but may increase the risk.
To determine if menopause has no effect on the response of memory and his colleagues studied nearly 700 premenopausal women FUH, a group of rural islands between Taiwan and China. Taiwanese government restricted to the island until 1990, so the authors report that the study population was nearly homogeneous, which would contribute to other factors potentially associated with memory loss.
The women were between 40 and 54 years, none has had a hysterectomy and had no hormone replacement therapy during the study.
The five different cognitive tests for memory and cognitive abilities were conducted at baseline and again 18 months.
During the study began with 23 percent of women have symptoms of menopause.
The researchers compared the memory of postmenopausal women that do not, and found little difference. There were four of the five trials there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of women.
Only one study, the difference is statistically significant, said Fuh, was too low. This test was designed to assess verbal memory and the number of women 70 shit. Some numbers are repeated throughout the process, but most do not. Women were asked whether they had seen the figure.
"For women, menopause does not mean you will develop a memory," said Dr. Rainer Ernstoff, attending neurologist at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan When you go through perimenopause and experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, said, sit and sleep disorders that may be temporarily in their cognitive abilities.
"I do not think it reduces the level of estrogen, which causes memory loss," said Dr. Steven Goldstein, an obstetrician and gynecologist at New York University Medical Center in New York. "It's as if your memory is bopping along, doing well, and then takes big dive during menopause, like bone density can."
Both Ernstoff and Goldstein said he knew that many women, menopause can cause memory loss created. On the other hand, I felt that the results of this group of women who were so homogeneous might not apply to other groups of women, as people in industrialized society. Said other factors were not studied could play a role in memory loss, such as high blood pressure, may play help to reproduce the vascular dementia.
Ernstoff also pointed out that education is an important role in memory loss. FUH renowned scientists try to control the data for differences in education.
