Symptoms that may occur during menopause

During menopause, your hormonal balance gradually shifts. As a result, these changes can happen slowly and may not always be immediately apparent. Even if you are not currently experiencing any noticeable symptoms, menopausal symptoms could still develop at a later stage. Sometimes they emerge gradually or only become recognisable once you know what to look out for. Below is an overview of symptoms that may arise during this phase.

If you would like to gain a better understanding of what is happening in your body or prepare for what may lie ahead, a consultation can help you have your situation carefully evaluated by a doctor.

Can I be in menopause without experiencing symptoms?

How do I know for sure if I'm in menopause?

Menopause is officially confirmed when your periods change or stop completely. Symptoms can start earlier, for example, during the premenopause. As this varies from woman to woman, it's not always possible to be certain straight away. Tracking changes in your body over time and reading reliable information will help you get a better understanding. A consultation can help you get your situation personally assessed by a doctor.
