What Is Menopause?

For those assigned female at birth, menopause is a natural part of life where you permanently stop having periods. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 to 55, signaling the end of your menstrual cycles. As your body’s hormones shift, you may experience hot flashes, mood swings, sleep disturbances, or even changes in your skin and hair. While this transition is normal, it doesn’t always feel easy—and that’s okay.

Stages

Perimenopause

Perimenopause is the phase before menopause begins, usually lasting three to five years. Most women enter this stage during their late 40’s. During this time, your hormone levels start to change, and your body produces less estrogen. You might notice irregular periods and start experiencing some common menopause symptoms. However, it is still possible to become pregnant during this stage.

Menopause

Menopause is the stage when your menstrual periods stop for good. At this phase, your ovaries stop releasing eggs, and your body produces very little estrogen. A healthcare provider typically diagnoses menopause when a person has gone without a period for 12 consecutive months. As such, this is the best time to seek menopause treatment.

Post-menopause

This period is after menopause and lasts for the rest of your life. While menopause symptoms tend to fade during this time, some mild symptoms may linger for a few years. Due to low estrogen levels, individuals in the postmenopausal phase are at risk of conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis. For your post-menopause care needs, we are here to be your reliable partner, helping you stay healthy and feel your best in this new chapter of life.
