Menopause

Menopause is a natural stage in a woman's life marking the end of fertility. It is characterised by hormonal changes that can have notable effects on both physical and mental well-being.

Pre and peri-menopause are transitional phases leading up to menopause. During these times, women may experience a range of symptoms, which can vary in intensity. These symptoms may include irregular periods, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mental fatigue. This transition can last several years and is marked by significant hormonal changes. Understanding these phases can help manage symptoms more effectively and find solutions to alleviate various challenges.

Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation and the end of fertility. It is typically diagnosed when a woman has not had a period for 12 consecutive months. In Central Europe, menopause generally occurs around age 51, though the timing can vary widely among individuals.

The changes associated with menopause are primarily driven by hormonal shifts in a woman’s body, notably a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. As the ovaries gradually reduce progesterone production, this leads to irregular periods and a range of symptoms, including:

• Hot flushes
• Disturbances in sleeping patterns
• Difficulty with memory or concentration
• Mood swings
• Difficulties with weight control
• Muscle pain
• Vaginal dryness

Approximately 60% of women are likely to experience multiple symptoms associated with menopause, and 20% of these women find that these symptoms significantly impact their quality of life, as well as the lives of those around them. During this transitional period, stress levels can be heightened due to concerns about body image, age-related changes, and the various challenges presented by daily life and one's living environment.

From a psychological standpoint, perimenopause can lead to feelings of anxiety and mood swings. Many women may feel overwhelmed by the accompanying changes and symptoms. It's crucial to understand this transitional phase and seek solutions to maintain both physical and emotional well-being during menopause.
