Menopause is a natural cycle of a woman's life.
It is caused by the loss or our sex hormones estrogen and progesterone due to a reduction in ovarian follicles. This in turn causes our periods to cease. The most common age for menopause to start is between 45 to 50 years of age. The symptoms of menopause can start up to 10 years before the actual menopause, and this is known as the Perimenopause. Some notable changes that can start to occur during this phase include weight gain, hot flushes night sweats, irregular menstrual periods, mood & sleep patterns, ageing and feeling not able to cope easily with everyday stresses. During the peri & menopause phase some 15% of women may possibly not experience troublesome signs or symptoms but most do. The loss of these hormones can create hormonal imbalances that can have some undesirable effects which make us feel just not right. Fortunately these hormones can be rebalanced and a sense of wellbeing can be restored.
