What is menopause?

Menopause, also known as menopause, is a natural phase in a woman’s life that marks the end of her menstrual cycle. This period usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but can vary. Menopause brings with it a number of hormonal changes that can affect both the body and the mind.

Common symptoms of menopause

Many women experience a number of symptoms that can vary in intensity:

Hot flashes: Sudden waves of heat that spread throughout the body.
Night sweats: Sweating spells that can disrupt sleep at night.
Sleep problems: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
Mood swings: Changes in mood, including irritability and depression.
Weight gain: Especially around the midsection.
Reduced libido: Decreased sexual desire and vaginal dryness.

These symptoms can have a major impact on your quality of life, but help is available.

What do you talk about?

Typically the gynaecologist goes through:

Your symptoms – the 1–3 that affect your daily life the most
Health and safety – blood pressure, blood clots and breast cancer in you or your family
Hormone therapy (MHT) – whether it may be relevant and safe for you. You can also ask about things you have read
Advice and recommendations – lifestyle measures and possibly MHT
Next steps – what you do now, and what your doctor should follow up

The appointment is a conversation. You do not show anything on video, and the gynaecologist is bound by confidentiality.
