The Importance of Understanding Menopause

Menopause is a significant transition affecting half the world's population, yet many women are unaware of its symptoms and implications. Common signs include fatigue, irritability, hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, disrupted sleep, and decreased libido, which can begin as early as ten years before menopause itself. The term perimenopause describes this transitional phase, which can last for an extended period, complicating diagnosis due to the vague nature of early symptoms. Proper understanding of these stages is crucial for women to seek appropriate treatment and manage their health effectively.
