Unbalanced estrogen-progesterone levels associated with menstruation can cause headaches, irritability, mood swings, depression, weight gain from excess water retention, and loss of libido. In addition, hypothyroidism and depression are two underlying physiological causes that can be responsible for women not experiencing sexual pleasure.

Nutrient deficiencies can cause deficiencies in estrogen levels that result in insufficient lubrication and vaginal dryness.

Many women in Asia, Yucatan, and Mexico are fortunate enough to go through menopause with few problems. Other cultures are not so fortunate. The symptoms of perimenopause and menopause can exaggerate PMS problems, along with irregular menstrual cycles, more irritability, anxiety, depression, bloating, food cravings, and breast tenderness. Menopausal symptoms are caused by erratic estrogen dominance as the body's supply of progesterone declines and by hormonal output alternately stopping and starting. Symptoms include memory loss, irritability, depression, water retention, and weight gain. Vaginal walls become drier and thinner and sexual interest may decline or increase. This is accompanied by increased susceptibility to yeast and bacterial infections, fibrocystic breasts, breast cancer, fibroids, or endometrial cancer.

Sugar, alcohol, smoking, coffee and tea consumption can worsen symptoms. Becoming well informed about helpful lifestyle changes, a natural whole foods diet, nutritional supplements, and regular exercise can help maintain female health.
