Do You Tingle? Is it A Sign of Menopause? useful Snippet
While not a common sign of menopause, tingling sensations in your extremities, medically known as paresthesis, is an unsettling symptom some women experience and it can occur at any time. In more mild cases, it usually comes about after a certain body posture pinches a nerve or presses on an artery, causing a limb to temporarily "fall asleep." In these cases, the tingling extremities usually return to normal after compression is relieved.
Tingling can affect any part of the body, but commonly the feet, legs, arms, and hands and are usually the result of fluctuating estrogen levels.
Fortunately, this does not indicate that something more serious is going on. Nonetheless, women who are experiencing this tingling sensation and those who are curious about this sign of menopause are wise to learn more about its causes and treatment.
Symptoms of Tingling Extremities
Changes in sensation
Prickling or burning sensations

Vascular claudication, or lack of blood supply to an area
Migraines

If you experience any other unexplained symptoms along with tingling extremities-such as increased urination, worsening of symptoms while walking, rash, muscle spasms, or pain, it’s wise to seek medical help also.
Because most cases of tingling extremities during menopause do not require medical attention, it can be important for women to learn more about the treatment options available.
Treatment For Tingling Sensations
As with any sign of menopause, it’s usually wise to begin with the least aggressive treatment and move on to the next method only if relief is not achieved.
In most cases, a combination of lifestyle changes and natural therapies is the most effective and safe approach to tingling sensations during menopause. A good, balanced diet, hydration, and adequate sleep are basic lifestyle measures that can help. A doctor can also recommend other changes that can help to ease the tingling.
