JAKARTA - Obstetrician and Gynecology specialist who graduated from the University of Indonesia, dr. Devi Marischa Malik, Sp.OG said, women who have hypercolesterol disorders need to be aware of the increasingly severe symptoms of menopause, especially at the risk of cardiovascular disease due to the absence of esterogenous hormones.

"For example, if there is a hypercolsterol disorder, it will be more dangerous because it is easier for heart and blood vessels to occur," said Devi, ANTARA, Sunday, April 18.

He said the risk of cardiovascular disease in women would increase according to the increase in age, especially when women had entered the menopause phase.

This is due to the lack of reduced esterogenous hormones in this phase so that it affects the heart organs and blood vessels. Other complaints can also have an impact on frequent sweating at night which is similar to symptoms of lung infection.

"The complaints can strengthen, one of which is hot flashes or feelings of sweat to sweat, usually sweat at night, but be aware that there is also lung infection, so look around first," he said.

Devi added that complaints from women who entered the menopaus period started from the head, such as memory problems that are easy to forget, and hair that fall out more often.

In addition, the joints will also have an impact because the menopause is the beginning of the emergence of bone loss or osteoporosis, so women are advised to consume additional calcium and vitamin D3.

The Menopaus word Devi can also cause depression and mood change due to the ups and downs of esterogenous and progesterone hormones. If you have relatives who show symptoms of depression, he suggests that immediate assistance is given. Assistance needs to be given so that depression does not lead to self-harm or those around you.

"For example, friends who experience this sign should provide assistance. If there is a history of baby blues, there has been a family history of depression, you should help quickly," suggested Devi.
