Understanding Menopause and Its Dynamics
Menopause is marked by significant hormonal changes that can occur in the years leading up to the last menstrual period, referred to as perimenopause, and lasts thereafter for the rest of a woman's life. During perimenopause, fluctuating estrogen levels can result in varied symptoms such as altered menstrual cycles, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and weight gain. Many women enter this phase unprepared, often lacking crucial knowledge passed down through generations. This lack of communication about menopause can contribute to misconceptions, making it vital for women to seek information and establish support networks during this transitional period.
