Menopause Care
Understanding and Supporting Women Through Change
Menopause happens because the ovaries gradually produce less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. While it is a normal biological process, the symptoms and changes it brings can affect a woman’s physical and emotional well-being.
Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life when her menstrual cycles stop, and fertility comes to an end. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, though the timing can vary for each individual.
Common Signs and Symptoms
Every woman’s experience of menopause is different. Some may have few symptoms, while others find daily life affected.
Typical symptoms can include:
- Irregular or stopped periods
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Mood swings or irritability
- Sleep problems and tiredness
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Changes in weight or body shape
- Reduced concentration or memory
- Hair or skin changes
These changes are normal and can often be managed with lifestyle adjustments and medical guidance.
Why Menopause Care Matters
Menopause is not an illness — but the hormonal changes can increase the risk of certain health conditions such as:
- Osteoporosis (bone thinning)
- Heart disease
- Weight gain and diabetes
- Mood and sleep disturbances
With the right support, these risks can be reduced, and quality of life can be maintained.
