When the menopause transition begins, several years before the actual end of menstruation, the hormonal balance is impaired due to a significant decrease in ovarian function and a decrease in estrogen secretion.
This period is supposed to be a time when a woman is flourishing, feels confident and in-charge of her life, however the dramatic hormonal fluctuations often impair a woman’s functioning and well-being.
The transition from reproductive years to menopause and beyond can start from as early as the age of 40 and in 1% of cases even earlier. Accelerated changes in hormone levels in the body as happens in menopause, have physical effects typical of older age. Added to this the effect of each person’s unique genetic code, an unhealthy lifestyle and the stresses of life that can all in addition to the less than optimal mid-life feeling, also increase the risk of age-dependent diseases such as bone loss/osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, cognitive disorders, sexual dysfunction, genitourinary syndrome as well as accelerated skin aging.
Hormonal changes occur naturally throughout a woman’s life, but 4-8 years prior to menopause hormonal fluctuations become significant with hormone levels plummeting dramatically, disrupting the body’s natural balance. These hormonal changes trigger the onset of menopause that comes along with many unwanted symptoms such as:
• Irregular menstruation
• Stronger or weaker menstrual bleeding than usual
• Fatigue/Exhaustion
• Mood swings
• Insomnia/Difficulty sleeping
• Anger and nervousness
• Anxiety/Panic attacks
• Heart palpitations
• Loss of memory
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Decrease in sexual desire
• Dryness of the skin
• Weight gain/Abdominal fat
• Swelling
• Breast sensitivity
• Joint pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Vaginal dryness
• Incontinence
