MENOPAUSE
Understanding Perimenopause
and Menopause
Perimenopause and menopause are natural stages in a woman’s life.
Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause. It can begin several years before periods stop completely, as hormone levels—particularly oestrogen and progesterone—start to fluctuate.
But for many, these natural stages can feel anything but straightforward.
Menopause is defined as the point when a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.While this is a natural biological process, the hormonal changes involved can have a significant impact on how a woman feels—both physically and emotionally.
Common Symptoms
Every woman’s experience is different, but some of the most commonly reported symptoms include:
-
Hot flushes and night sweats
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Low mood, anxiety, or irritability
-
Brain fog and reduced concentration
-
Fatigue and low energy
-
Weight gain, particularly around the middle
-
Reduced libido
-
Vaginal dryness and discomfort
-
Joint aches and muscle pain
-
Changes in skin and hair
Symptoms can range from mild to debilitating and often fluctuate, which can make them difficult to recognise and manage.
The Challenges Women Face
One of the biggest challenges with perimenopause and menopause is not just the symptoms themselves—but the journey to understanding and managing them.
Many women find that:
-
Symptoms are dismissed or misunderstood
-
They are told their blood tests are “normal” despite feeling unwell
-
Appointments feel rushed or limited in scope
-
There is confusion around HRT, including risks and benefits
-
Advice is often fragmented or inconsistent
-
They are left trying to navigate this stage of life alone
For women in their 40s and 50s—often at the peak of their careers and family responsibilities—this can have a profound impact on confidence, performance, and overall quality of life.
