If the pain is really sharp, you should definitely go see your gynaecologist. Maybe this is due to the recent inside body changes because of the menopause. Don't practise auto-medication, heed medical advice as soon as possible. Good luck!

tight muscles in your back can press onto the nerves going to any of the organs to make them act up or go into pain. If the muscles are touching the nerves going to your uterus you will have pains there, the same if they were touching the nerves going to your ovaries. To get rid of that pain you have to free up your back muscles and here's how to do that:
Back:
(do while sitting on a chair)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front, and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm as straight as possible. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, then release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

Menopause is the turning point of women when they stop ovulating. It is natural problem. Usually women, who are reaching the age of around 50, pass this period. Actually it changes the life of women. They lose fertility in this time and they cannot give birth anymore.
In this period, the monthly cycle of women which is called menstrual cycle is stopped, because production of estrogen becomes less in that time. Thus ovulation is finished. Approximately 70% of women experience this problem. So there are some problems regarding menopause. Some of troubles may be very harmful for women. There are 7 common symptoms which are treated as very dangerous.
The first problem is putting on weight. Due to this problem, women face trouble around the waist, hips and thighs, because of hormonal changes. Change in metabolism is also responsible.
Another problem is “Hot flashes”. It happens to most women. It is also a troublesome symptom. Women feel intense heat which comes all at once. It can hit in all types of weather. It can also hit any time day or night. The amount of pain or duration is not the same for all women. Many women take it as a big trouble because they face a lot of distressing feelings. These feelings may remain for years.
Women face trouble while sleeping. They sweat on that time, which is pathetic. Due to this reason, women wake up early in the night, or waking up a lot at night. They may not enjoy a sound sleep. Thus trouble in sleep hampers their daily life particularly physically and emotionally. If it is regular, they suffer a lot.
Overwhelming fatigue is a common problem. It creates a problem with feelings. For this reason, women feel as they are running a marathon or feel drained. If they remain in rest or running on empty, this feeling throws them into great trouble.
Irregular menstrual cycle occurs due to menopause. As mentioned earlier, menopause is the stopping point of ovulating. So irregular periods, shorter, lighter or heavier periods occur. Cycle length can be random. Some cycles become shorter and some cycles become larger.
Women face memory loss during this time. They find it difficult to concentrate on something. They also worry about this. This worry combines with natural symptom and creates insomnia.
The last point is incredible mood swings feelings of dread, instant irritation, overwhelming sadness, apprehension etc. It may happen in the same day, same hour. This appears randomly like a roller coaster. If mood swings become uncontrollable, there may be a serious problem regarding this issue.
These are the symptom that most of the women face. These are very unbearable problem for women. It is notable that, people who remain near to them also suffer. So everybody should help women with this period and realize their pain and sufferings. Menopause is natural event for women so steps should be taken to control symptoms. Of course women of that period have a right to enjoy their lives, so they should be taking care of themselves.
