Understanding Menopause: What You Need to Know
Menopause is a natural part of life, but its symptoms can feel overwhelming. Learn about common changes, practical ways to manage them, and how to care for your health during this transition.
Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life, marking the end of her reproductive years. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but every woman’s experience is unique. In UK the average age is 51 years.
What Is Menopause?
Menopause happens when your ovaries stop releasing eggs and your periods stop. It’s diagnosed after 12 months without a period. This change is caused by a drop in hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone.
Common Symptoms
Some women experience mild symptoms, while others may find them more challenging. These may include:
- Hot flushes
- Night sweats
- Mood changes
- Sleep problems
- Vaginal dryness
- Reduced bone density
Caring for Your Health During Menopause
Although menopause can be a challenging time, there are steps you can take to feel better:
- Eat a Healthy Diet: Include calcium and vitamin D for bone health.
- Stay Active: Regular exercise can help with mood, weight, and heart health.
- Talk to Your Doctor: Treatments like hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and natural remedies can help manage symptoms.
