What is menopause?
Menopause is the natural process of your periods becoming irregular and eventually stopping. This means your body has ceased preparing every month for pregnancy - your ovaries stop releasing eggs and your hormone production decreases.
How do you know if you are going through menopause? The symptoms for menopause are varied and vast. You could experience any or all of the following symptoms:
- hot flushes
- night sweats
- irregular periods
- loss of libido
- vaginal dryness
- mood swings.
Side effects of menopause
Other changes during menopause may include fatigue, hair loss, sleep disorders, dizziness and weight gain. As bones can get thinner due to hormone changes, some woman are also at risk of developing osteoporosis. Talk to your community pharmacist about managing the possibility of weakening bones.
Many women do not seek treatment for menopause but those that do often experience severe symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the most common treatment and comes in the form of tablets, creams, patches and implants.
