On March 16, 2012-with hot flashes and night sweats are a common complaint of women menopause memory problems. Now a new research evidence can be a real nuisance "brain fog".

Research suggests that "change" is most often associated with aging research in lung and his time in memory, the key differences between the issues women around looking for a change in a woman's brain through conversion to provide clues about the.

University of Rochester Medical Center neuropsychologist Miriam T. Weber, PhD. "the memory issue, we saw that kind of old population saw the problem apparently differed on." says "I take home message, there's something about memory, during this phase of your life"

Research includes 75 women in various aspects of memory and thinking tests.

At the time of the test, the girls all in their menstrual cycle, menopause-related changes has occurred but at least one period during the previous year.

Take on a woman who had complained of memory and it's information, but Webber manipulation tasks that are described in the test designed to measure memory are more likely to perform poorly.

Leave a tip in a restaurant or to calculate the amount of a single itinerary at the last minute changes can include actions related to memory.

The researchers had women and age-related memory loss problems, common in patients with the information I found little evidence.

Psychiatry and psychology professor Paul Markey, PhD, research and recognize women's menopause worked in their memory deficit assessment tends to be much more than the older people.

"It's not that women are generally more coordinated body changes, too many changes happening at once, because it may be," she tells Webmd.

A study published this week in the journal menopause, memory problems, and estrogen levels observed did not show the link between.

Webber tells WebMD that estrogen levels fluctuate so dramatically closing a single measure can say almost, because this can be a while.

"Many women do not have this problem at all, and the good news is that they don't have to be transient memory deficit for the people."

To learn or menopausal women with Webber memory complaints and new information if they try to remember, you should try to avoid, especially in multitasking.

"Can really help remove distracting," she says. "Working on a document and e-mail when you create an appointment, instead of just focusing on the appointment and write it down."
