Understanding and Living With Menopause

We’ve all heard of menopause, and for women who are getting older, it can be a very scary and confusing experience. Menopause is a natural biological process and typically occurs in women anywhere between the ages of 40 and 60; about a year after a woman's last menstrual cycle. The process is the endpoint for a woman's fertility and is usually accompanied by some unwanted side effects and health issues.

The side effects that come along with menopause can impact one's daily life. These side effects include hot flashes, weight gain, change in sleep patterns, and night sweats. Menopause can also cause more serious issues like change in mood, depression, and anxiety. Finally, menopause can cause changes in a woman’s sexual health, including vaginal dryness and lack of sex drive. Despite these side effects, living with menopause doesn’t have to be difficult. There are ways to reduce symptoms and treat hormonal deficiency or imbalance – both common symptoms after a woman has gone through menopause.
