Menopause is a significant life transition that brings various physical, emotional, and mental changes, often leaving many women feeling unprepared. Common symptoms include mood swings, sleep disturbances, and a decline in libido, which can disrupt relationships and personal well-being. There is a pressing need to raise awareness about menopause and the realities of perimenopause, as many women experience these hormone-related changes without adequate support or resources. Addressing misconceptions and fostering open discussions can help shine a light on this often stigmatized topic, allowing women to seek help and validation as they navigate this transformative stage of life.
