Menopause FAQs: Menopause Mindfulness is some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about how mindfulness may relieve some menopause symptoms.
Is there an association between mindfulness and some menopause symptoms?
In Women’s Wellness: Mindfulness May Ease Menopausal Symptoms published on 19 March 2019, the (United States) Mayo Clinic News Network elaborate on:
““In this study, we found that midlife women with higher mindfulness scores experienced fewer menopausal symptoms,” says Mayo Clinic general internist and women’s health specialist Richa Sood, M.D., the study’s lead author. “These findings suggest that mindfulness may be a promising tool to help women reduce menopausal symptoms and overall stress.””
The study also found:
“The higher a woman’s perceived level of stress, the greater the link between higher mindfulness and reduced menopausal symptoms.”
Is there an association between mindfulness and “irritability, depression and anxiety in middle-aged menopausal women”?
In Women’s Wellness: Mindfulness May Ease Menopausal Symptoms the Mayo Clinic News Network note:
“An exciting finding in the study, according to Dr. Sood, was the association of higher mindfulness scores and lower symptom scores for irritability, depression and anxiety in middle-aged menopausal women.”
Is there an association between mindfulness and hot flushes/flashes and night sweats?
In Women’s Wellness: Mindfulness May Ease Menopausal Symptoms the Mayo Clinic News Network explain:
“One surprising outcome of the study is that higher mindfulness scores were not associated with lower hot flash and night sweat symptom scores, Dr. Sood says. One theory as to why is that the amount of distress experienced from night sweats and hot flashes may have more to do with individual personality traits rather than the symptoms themselves.”
In Menopausal Symptoms In-Depth: What the Science Says About Complementary Health Approaches for Menopause Symptoms – Mind and Body Practices: Mindfulness the (United States) National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) elaborate on:
“In an NCCIH-funded study, mindfulness meditation training reduced the bothersomeness of hot flashes in menopausal women and led to improvements in anxiety, perceived stress, self-reported sleep quality, and quality of life. However, the intensity of hot flashes did not change.”
