The puberty of the mid-forties? And who clarifies us please before?
"Your body will change soon". Somehow or other, a conversation started that we all had sometime with somebody. In the best case with our parents, in the worst case with our teachers. But someone has told us: We will not be the ones we are right now. We knew that long before these nasty stinging bumps were felt in our breasts long before we got our spanking for the first time. But what about the second change of our femininity? What about the last period? Who wants to talk to us about it? Obviously not even ourselves.
What happens when it happens
At 13, we send our daughters to the gynecologist-girl's office. But where should we send ourselves? Sure, we'll go well for precaution. But has a gynecologist ever sat down and told us the truth about what's going to happen to us? Did anyone ever say, "Well, Ms. So and so, soon her hair will most likely thin out, so everywhere except in the bikini area, which unfortunately is the opposite of what they have always wanted. The fat will settle on body parts, that you did not even know before, your biceps will be felt soon under It will not be made up of muscle mass, but of limp tissue. In addition sprout small nasty witch hairs in the face. This is how your appearance changes, while its interior fluctuates in the hormonal chaos between extremes and your cycle begins to slowly but steadily change. You may get your days more often, shorter, stronger and also more painful. You did not expect that? Oh yes, that will happen. And that will be more and more strange until the day she suddenly does not come back. "Has anyone ever said something to us like that? Unfortunately no who knows this conversation: CONGRATULATIONS! You have caught the world's best medical doctor.
Luckily we are adults
For everyone else: Luckily we are adults and there is the internet. If you go through all the nice articles about small hot flashes and nice little pills, which cool you down again, you can dare to go for something: the forums. Because it will be honest. Since you can sometimes click through all the misery, because let's be honest: nice isses not. The only good news: At some point you are through. Then you can enjoy without a scheduler his beach holiday and no emotional outburst is pushed to the hormones. You're just a caustic old man. But at least you will be taken seriously again. And the best thing about the story: According to the study, we reached the height of our self-confidence at exactly 60. So there are very golden times ahead of us! And somebody should say that to someone!
