QUEENSLAND, Australia- A study conducted by the University of Queensland has found that exercise benefits may include helping decrease the effects of menopausal symptoms in women who went through cancer treatment.<\/p>\n
Suppose you are among the women who survived cancer, or you are probably going through cancer treatment; this report may help you. Exercising may help you avoid the early onset of severe menopausal symptoms that are treatment side effects.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Tom Bailey, a research fellow at the UQ’s School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Social Work, there is a clear connection between exercising and reducing menopausal symptoms.<\/p>\n
“Women who remained physically active and met guidelines for more intense physical activity reported fewer symptoms associated with the menopause,” <\/em>Dr. Bailey stated.<\/p>\n
He added, “The main benefits were reduced depressive symptoms and reduced somatic symptoms, such as nausea, dizziness, tiredness, muscle and joint pain, as well as some improvement in sleep patterns and sexual function.”<\/em><\/p>\n
