Prophylaxis
Since the menopause is a time of hormonal change to which the body must first get used to, there are a number of so-called climacteric complaints caused by changes in sex hormone production. If serious diseases of the ovaries have been ruled out by a doctor, some rules of conduct can help against pain in the ovaries: It is important to relax, as the pain often causes a cramping of the abdominal muscles, which in turn can cause pain. Bed rest, warmth, hot baths and, in case of very severe pain, the use of painkillers are recommended.
A healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet and regular physical activity also help to alleviate the symptoms of menopause. If the abdominal pain persists or if accompanying symptoms such as bleeding occur, a doctor should always be consulted. In addition, regular check-ups should be carried out by a gynecologist during the menopause and in the years after it, so that malignant diseases can be detected and treated early on.
