WHAT IS MENOPAUSE ?

Menopause, a natural phase in a woman's life, marks the cessation of menstrual periods and brings about various changes in your body. Hormonal fluctuations during this transition can lead to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and increased sensitivity. Menopause typically occurs in the late 40s but can vary for each individual.

The duration of menopause varies from 7 to 14 years on average. Symptoms such as hot flashes can be particularly challenging, causing discomfort and disturbances in daily life. Women may also experience weight gain more easily, changes in bone health, heart health, body composition, and physical function during this time.

Symptoms of menopause differ among women; some may face intense hot flashes while others may not experience them at all. Other common symptoms include irregular periods, heavy bleeding, spotting between periods, vaginal dryness leading to discomfort during sex or reduced interest in sexual activity.

While I am not a medical professional, as a certified sexologist and relationship coach who has personally navigated through over a decade of menopause experiences, I understand the challenges it presents. Seeking professional guidance for any concerns is crucial.
