Crashing fatigue (a term used to indicate severe, persistent and often unexplained exhaustion) is a common and potentially debilitating menopause symptom. Women going through the menopause transition may experience an acute decrease in energy, leaving them unable to maintain the same level of activity as before. This intense tiredness can leave women feeling hopeless and depressed, but the condition can be alleviated with proper treatment. It is thus essential to get all the facts about crashing fatigue in order to overcome it.

Far more common in women than in men, crashing fatigue can be described as a deep, physical exhaustion and lack of stamina that impedes sufferers in their daily lives, and which can be worsened by physical and/or intense mental activity. Crashing fatigue typically is not improved by bed rest.

• Daytime tiredness.
• Urge to nap at unusual times.
• Falling asleep involuntarily.
• Depression, irritability.
• Lack of/changes in appetite.
• Inability to concentrate.
• Inability to carry out normal activities due to exhaustion. |

It should be noted that crashing fatigue is a condition distinct from chronic fatigue syndrome, a serious autoimmune deficiency usually accompanied by flu-like symptoms (muscle pain, nausea, and fever) that can last from several months to several years. The type of crashing fatigue typically experienced by menopausal women, on the other hand, is closely related to hormonal changes and the aging process, and is typically shorter in duration.
While treatment options for chronic fatigue syndrome remain unsatisfactory, menopausal crashing fatigue can effectively be alleviated. Because treatment should be tailored according to the causal factors in each case, it is important to be informed about the different triggers of crashing fatigue in menopausal women.

Treatment for Crashing Fatigue
with MacaActive Supplements |
|
As you have already read, crashing fatigue are mainly caused by declining estrogen levels, which is a natural part of aging. Therefore, if you want relief from this undesirable symptom, you must restore estrogen hormone levels.
Today there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine and drugs & surgery.
|
|
|
 |
Lifestyle Changes: This level of treatment involves no risk, but may be the hardest way to go because you'll have to restrict yourself from many things. That's why most people consider the next level of treatment, alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating crashing fatigue in a safe and natural way.

Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for treating crashing fatigue: Those containing phytoestrogenic herbs, and those containing non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogenic herbs (like Black Cohosh) are filled with phytoestrogens, which are similar to estrogens. They can increase low estrogen levels by replacing some of the missing estrogen hormones. This isn't the best solution, however, because your body will become less responsive to producing estrogen on its own, causing a further decrease in body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogenic herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain estrogen, but nourish hormonal glands to work more efficiently. This ultimately results in balancing not only estrogen, but other necessary hormones, as well. Non-estrogenic herbs are thus one of the best and safest ways to treat crashing fatigue naturally.
An excellent example of a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal imbalance is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is its ability to balance hormonal levels in women by nourishing the hormonal glands. It thus alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance, including crashing fatigue.  to read more about MacaActive.

Drugs and Surgery: This level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest costs. The most common drug therapy for treating crashing fatigue in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance. Unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different types of cancer in women. If you still want to consider this approach, see your doctor to become better informed about what this treatment option involves.
