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 .
