Bloating, Breast tenderness, Brittle nails, Body odor changes and Burning tongue!
There might be an increase in bloating, as well as abdominal discomfort, tightness, and swelling in the pelvic area. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day and avoiding a high-sodium diet can help decrease bloating.
Breast tenderness and swelling is symptomatic of menopausal-related hormonal changes. Avoiding caffeine may also help relieve breast tenderness and fibrocystic changes.
Hormonal irregularities and decreased collagen production associated with menopause can lead to brittle nails as a result of dehydration, which is not uncommon in menopausal women.
Changes in body odor may result from hormonal changes, which can cause an increase in perspiration. Menopausal-related anxiety can also alter body odor.
Some menopausal women may experience a condition known as “burning mouth syndrome,” which can cause burning sensations on the tongue, lips, soft palate, and lining of the cheeks.
