Menopause
Take ownership of this time in your life
For some, the transition happens with relative ease. For many of us though, it is a time in our lives that we start experiencing a range of symptoms that not only throw our lives in to turmoil and affect our everyday life.
Menopause Management
What Are the Symptoms?
Menopause is a period of transition. Some describe it as the ‘autumn phase’ in a woman’s life and it is a time when fluctuating hormones cause a woman’s body to behave differently. Whether it is due to natural causes, or surgical or medical-induced menopause, the loss of oestrogen can cause a range of symptoms and increase your risk of developing some diseases.
The most common symptoms are often hot flushes and night sweats with other symptoms including disturbed sleep and insomnia, low energy levels, low mood, anxiety, low libido and low sexual drive, impaired memory and concentration, a sensation of ‘brain fog’, joint aches, headaches, palpitations and vaginal dryness and urinary symptoms.
Oestrogen also important role in maintaining bone and heart health as well as brain function during the reproductive years so a fall in your oestrogen puts you at a higher risk of developing issues with your bones, heart and brain function.
Whilst not all women will experience menopausal symptoms when they go through the menopause, up to 80-90% will have some symptoms, with 25% describing them as severe and debilitating. Clearly this has significant implications for women at work.
