The mid-life changes of women are seen as synonymous with ageing and disease. However, I like to view these transitional years as marking the beginning of the second half of a woman’s life, often a time of self-empowerment and certainly a natural process (not a disease) that can be a rewarding experience and a positive event in a woman’s life.
Perimenopause is when menstrual periods stop or become irregular as a result of decreasing function of the ovaries. Menopause is usually a retrospective diagnosis, made when there has been no period for a year. Natural menopause occurs on average between 45 and 55 years of age. As the ovaries age, they gradually cease producing their hormones. These transitional months or years are called the perimenopausal stage. Symptoms include the well-known hot flushes and night sweats, low libido, insomnia, brain fog, memory lapses,, heavy or longer periods, shorter menstrual cycles of less than 26 days, migraine headaches, unexplained weight gain, vaginal and skin dryness, insomnia, joint pain and mood swings.
