Menopause happens when your periods stop due to lower hormone levels, usually affecting women aged 45 to 55.
Perimenopause is when you experience menopause symptoms but haven’t quite stopped having periods yet, continuing until you've gone 12 months without one.
Both menopause and perimenopause can bring on symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes, and irregular periods, which can really impact your daily life, relationships, and work.
Some symptoms include:
1. Changes to Your Periods:
- Irregular periods
- Eventually, periods will completely stop
2. Mental Health Symptoms:
- Mood changes (low mood, anxiety, mood swings, low self-esteem)
- Memory or concentration issues (brain fog)
3. Physical Symptoms:
- Hot flushes (sudden feelings of heat or cold)
- Difficulty sleeping (often due to night sweats)
- Heart palpitations
- Headaches and migraines
- Muscle aches and joint pains
- Changes in body shape and weight gain
- Skin changes (dry and itchy skin)
- Reduced sex drive
- Vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Sensitive teeth, painful gums, or other mouth problems
If you need extra support and care regarding menopause, it’s essential to consult your GP or visit the official NHS website for more information and resources.
