Menopause shows up in different ways. Understand how different symptoms might be impacting you.
Treatments and Symptoms
Gastrointestinal Changes
What it feels like
Gas, bloating, irregularity, stomach cramps and other digestive issues
Why it happens
Estrogen also helps regulate cortisol, which is the “fight or flight” hormone that gets triggered by stress. So when estrogen starts declining, not only do feelings of stress increase, but ramped up cortisol slows down digestion, leading to a host of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms.
According to the 200,000 respondents who have taken our Menopause Assessment:
51%
