Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life, but let’s be honest, it can feel like your body is on a rollercoaster. You’re not alone, and with the right care, managing menopause becomes a lot easier.
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycle. It usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55, when the ovaries stop releasing eggs and hormone levels (especially estrogen and progesterone) drop.
Menopause is confirmed when a woman has not had her period for 12 months straight.
Not everyone experiences menopause the same way, but here are some common signs:
Hot Flashes– Sudden warmth, especially around the face and neck.
Night Sweats– Waking up drenched, even in winter.
Mood Swings – Feeling irritated one moment, teary the next.
Sleep Problems – Trouble falling or staying asleep.
Vaginal Dryness – Can cause discomfort during intimacy.
Weight Gain – Especially around the belly area.
Low Energy – Feeling tired more often.
Managing menopause isn’t about “toughing it out.” It’s about knowing your options and choosing what works best for your body.
Here’s what can help:
Add more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Cut down on processed foods and sugar.
Try walking, yoga, or swimming to keep your body and mood in check.
Deep breathing, meditation, or even a hobby can ease anxiety and mood swings.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) may be recommended in some cases.
Vaginal creams, antidepressants, or calcium supplements might also help— the doctor will guide you.
If your symptoms feel overwhelming or affect your daily life, it’s a good idea to consult a gynaecologist. Early guidance can help prevent issues like osteoporosis or heart problems that become more common after menopause.
Menopause isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning. With a little help, you can move through this phase with comfort and confidence.
