Women in their mid-life will transition and experience hormonal changes that take them from their optimum fertile period to perimenopause and menopause. It can be plain sailing for some women whilst others may experience a range of physical and emotional symptoms. Intensity can vary with some women noticing minimal shifting and changing whilst others may have symptoms that can impact their daily life.
Perimenopause is the natural shift to menopause and is also called the menopausal transition. Perimenopause usually starts between the ages of 40 – 44 years, but it can start earlier or later. Symptoms include irregular and or heavy periods, hot flushes / flashes, night sweats, mood changes, headaches, brain fog or trouble concentrating, difficulty sleeping, vaginal dryness, lower libido and headaches.
Menopause is the permanent end of a woman’s menstruation; she will no longer have menstrual bleeds, often called periods. Once you have not had a period or spotting for 12 months then you know your periods have stopped for good and you have reached your Menopause. The average age for Menopause is 51 years. In many cultures the Menopause is welcomed and celebrated. The Menopause is a normal development stage in a woman’s natural journey through life; a time when she moves away from fertility and nurturing into her full power.
