As women age, their hormone levels change, resulting in the gradual decrease and eventual stopping of ovulation and periods. During menopause, these changes can often result in unpleasant symptoms like anxiety, hot flushes, brain fog, lack of attention and irregular periods. There are many ways to manage menopause symptoms.
Menopause occurs when periods stop due to lower hormone levels and affects anyone who has periods. It usually affects women between the ages of 45 and 55 but can happen earlier. Menopause can happen naturally, or for reasons such as surgery to remove the ovaries (oophorectomy) or the uterus (hysterectomy), cancer treatments like chemotherapy, or a genetic reason. Sometimes the reason is unknown. Menopause and perimenopause can cause symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes, and irregular periods. These symptoms can start years before your periods stop and carry on afterwards and can have a big impact on your life, including relationships and work.
