Menopause

What is Menopause?

Menopause is a natural stage of life for women which typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, when menstrual periods stop and hormone levels, particularly oestrogen, decline. While menopause is a normal biological process, it can bring a range of physical and emotional changes that vary from person to person. Many people experience some symptoms during menopause, but for some, these can become more persistent or distressing and begin to affect daily life, relationships or work.

In our clinic, we often see that menopause can have a significant impact on mental health as well as physical wellbeing. Changes in hormone levels can influence mood, sleep, energy and concentration. Some individuals may experience increased anxiety, low mood or symptoms of depression during this time.

With the right understanding and treatment, many people are able to manage symptoms effectively and maintain a good quality of life.

Signs and Symptoms of Menopause

Symptoms of menopause can vary, but may include:

  • Hot flushes and night sweats
  • Difficulty sleeping or disrupted sleep
  • Low mood or increased anxiety
  • Irritability or mood changes
  • Fatigue or low energy levels
  • Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”
  • Reduced confidence or changes in self-esteem
  • Changes in libido
  • Physical symptoms such as headaches or joint discomfort

These symptoms can affect both physical comfort and emotional wellbeing.
