Although you may experience the pain of hot, mood swings, when you enter the menopause, but one thing is you can’t blame on the “change” is a loss  memory.

In the latest study that exonerates menopause as a cause of impairing the ability to recall, Taiwanese researchers compared the memory of hundreds of women before they had any menopausal symptoms to their memory as they entered menopause.

They found that women who were going through menopause as the process or almost five different goal of cognitive function testing. Results of the study will be held on October 4 American neurological association annual meeting in Toronto.

“When women go into perimenopause, they don’t need to worry about cognitive decline,” said Dr. Jong-Ling Fuh, an attending physician at Taipei Veterans General Hospital and an associate professor of Yang-Ming University School of Medicine.

Researchers say these myths of memory loss in menopausal women who are a kind of feeling, because they have some experience menopause, they felt their memory, as had not sharp. Research shows that may prevent dementia hormone replacement therapy to strengthen this belief.

When people claim to be liberated sexually, what they really mean is that they explore and enjoy experimentation and variety at the active, lusty, passionate end of the scale. We feel we are being broad-minded when we are comfortable with or tolerant of sexual diversity, such as homosexuality or bisexuality, or are prepared to experiment with oral sex, sex toys, threesomes, or bondage and discipline. However, if we are to truly embrace the notion of individual differences in sexuality, we need to think far more broadly than this and become respectful of people who are at the other end of the spectrum. Where does the asexual individual fit into the scheme of things? How is a person who prefers only “conventional” sex judged? What label is given to someone who is turned off by oral sex or by being touched on the genitals? What words are used to describe a woman–or man–who doesn’t seem interested in sex? What are some of the factors that are commonly thought to lead to this disinterest?
In a recent survey in the United States, 43 percent of women and 31 percent of men identified themselves as having one or more sexual problems. Among women, 33 percent complained of low sexual desire, 24 percent reported inability to come to orgasm, and 14 percent stated they experience pain during sex. For men, the most frequently reported problem was premature ejaculation, accounting for 28 percent of complaints, while 15 percent rated themselves as lacking interest in sex, 10 percent said they had problems attaining or maintaining an erection, and 3 percent had physical pain during intercourse.

Some researchers have criticized this study because these problems were identified by self-rating rather than by clinical evaluation, but it is precisely this aspect of the survey that intrigues me. If one in three women believes she is not as interested in sex as she should be, and one in four men doesn’t last as long as he thinks he should last, which of the following is more likely?

* We have a major epidemic on our hands.
