Menopause

Every menopausal journey is different

The transition from menstruation to menopause, also called perimenopause or the menopausal transition, is marked by a period in which your ovaries gradually produce less of the female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. This triggers many physical changes, which can be quite overwhelming. Although perfectly normal, this doesn't mean you have to suffer in silence. Quite the contrary! There are many things you do to ease your symptoms. 

The menopausal transition does not have to be the end of life as you know it. It can be a special stage in your life, with no or hardly any obstacles.

Stages of menopause

The entire transition from the reproductive to the postreproductive years in a woman’s life consists of several stages. Understanding how this transition works and what is happening to your body is the first step to a happy menopausal journey. First of all, let's talk about these three main stages: perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause.  

Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles. It is not a period, but a moment in time. The preceding period is called perimenopause, during which your ovaries gradually produce less female sex hormones. Postmenopause is the final stage and refers to the remainder of a woman's life one year on from her last period. During this period, your body adjusts to the reduced hormone levels and restores balance. 

The entire transition, from the first symptoms to postmenopause, lasts between six to 12 years. That's a big difference! It means that no women's experience of the menopausal transition is the same. Here's a fun fact. Did you know that the age your mother hit menopause can help you estimate your own timing? Research has shown that a woman’s mother’s age at menopause appears to be a factor in her own age at menopause.

Am I menopausal?

I’m having all these symptoms. Could they be related to menopause? Many women around the age of 40 ask themselves this question when they start experiencing physical and emotional changes. A menopause test can help you confirm where you stand in the menopausal transition.

What menopausal symptoms can you expect?

The menopausal transition affects different women in different ways. Some women experience few, or no, menopausal symptoms, while others are plagued by life-altering changes that stop them in their tracks. The fact of the matter is that 80 percent of women do experience some kind of symptoms, the most common ones being hot flashes, sleep problems, mood swings and weight gain. Most women experience a variety of symptoms (three or more), and one in three women have severe symptoms that have a significant impact on everyday functioning.
