Know What’s Happening
What Is Menopause?
Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 and is confirmed after 12 months without a period. The transition leading up to it — known as perimenopause — can begin several years earlier.
Hormone levels (particularly oestrogen and progesterone) fluctuate during this time, which can lead to a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms.
Understanding Your Symptoms
Common Menopause Symptoms
Every woman’s experience is different, but common symptoms include:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Irregular or heavy periods
- Sleep disturbances
- Mood swings, anxiety or low mood
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Reduced libido
- Joint aches and muscle pain
- Headaches
- Weight changes
If symptoms are affecting your quality of life, support is available.
