Women’s HealthMenopause is a natural life stage, not a medical problem to be fixed — but the symptoms that come with it are real, and support is available. This article covers what to expect during the transition and the care options that can help.
Recognising Perimenopause and Menopause
In the years leading up to menopause, it is common to notice:
- Irregular periods, and changes in flow
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Disrupted sleep, and changes in mood
- Vaginal dryness or discomfort
- Changes in memory or concentration
Menopause itself is confirmed once periods have stopped for twelve consecutive months.
Managing Symptoms Day to Day
Many symptoms respond well to a combination of lifestyle adjustments, non-hormonal treatments, and, where suitable, hormone therapy — the right mix depends on your personal and family health history.
When to See a Specialist Sooner
Any bleeding after twelve months without a period (post-menopausal bleeding) should always be reviewed promptly, even if it appears minor.
Long-Term Health Through the Transition
Falling oestrogen affects more than cycles — bone density and cardiovascular health both benefit from attention during and after menopause, alongside ongoing screening.
Menopause looks different for everyone. With the right support, it is possible to move through this stage with comfort, clarity, and confidence.
Key takeaway
What to Prepare for Your Appointment
Note which symptoms bother you most, how long they have been occurring, and any questions you have about treatment options, including hormone therapy.
