Your Menopause Journey

What to expect during menopause?

Menopause signifies the end of menstrual periods, officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without any bleeding or spotting. It usually occurs in a women’s 40s or 50s.

While menopause is a natural part of aging, it can bring physical and emotional symptoms that may affect your daily life and overall well-being.

Fortunately, various treatments are available, including lifestyle changes and hormone therapy, to help manage these transitions and support your overall health.

What to expect during menopause

Menopause typically occurs gradually, with the months and years leading up to it known as perimenopause. During perimenopause, hormone levels fluctuate which can lead to a range of symptoms, including:

Irregular periods
Hot flushes and night sweats
Mood swings
Sleep disturbances
Vaginal dryness
Memory issues

Diagnosing menopause

Most women can recognise the onset of menopause by its symptoms. Generally, menopause is diagnosed based on symptoms alone, so tests are usually unnecessary.

However, in some cases, your doctor may recommend blood tests to measure hormone levels.
