Menopause: No woman has to suffer from it
Menopause doesn’t have a good reputation. Just a few years ago, hardly any women spoke openly and honestly about how they were really feeling in this phase of their life. Many remained silent – and functioned. Only recently has the topic received much attention. Women are finally talking openly and honestly about what it feels like when estrogen levels drop; one in three really suffer from the changing hormones.
“The most common symptoms that women seek medical attention for during menopause are hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, mood swings and vaginal dryness. These symptoms can affect the quality of life and may require medical treatment,” says Primary Lukas Angleitner-Boubenizek, head of the gynecology and obstetrics department in Steyr. There are many options. These range from herbal supplements to hormone replacement therapy, creams, lifestyle changes, stress management and medications such as antidepressants. Sports scientist and Uniqa vitality coach Barbara Schagerl-Müllner advises bringing more exercise into your life during this phase. “Women who are active in sports have been proven to suffer less from symptoms such as hot flashes.”

Dizziness: Successful therapy after an exact diagnosis
The floor sways”, “everything is spinning” or “the feeling of falling to one side” – those affected can experience dizziness in very different ways. One in three Austrians knows what these symptoms feel like. Statistically speaking, women are affected more often than men.
“It is important that the cause of the dizziness is found quickly. Only then can treatment be successful,” says Raimund Helbok, head of the University Clinic for Neurology at the Kepler University Hospital.
A detailed diagnosis leads to the diagnosis Description of symptoms. How is the dizziness? How long does it last? Are there triggers? Is it accompanied by nausea, hearing or vision problems or perhaps headaches?
A neurological examination is also important. “Depending on the findings, imaging may be necessary – computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasound examination,” says Helbok. In addition to the neurologist, the ENT doctor also plays a significant role in dizziness.
The sense of balance can also be trained. “Physiotherapy and balance training are important pillars of vertigo therapy,” says neurology clinic boss Helbok.
