Menopause Is a Journey, Not a Destination
Menopause is defined as a year after the last menstruation, but the preceding perimenopausal phase, marked by fluctuating estrogen levels, can last from two to ten years on average, often leading to troublesome symptoms. These symptoms can persist even after menopause, continuing to affect women for years, challenging the myth that they conclude with the end of perimenopause. Research indicates that while the frequency of symptoms gradually decreases over time, they remain notably high five years post-menopause. Additionally, routine blood tests to determine hormonal status during this phase are ineffective due to daily hormonal fluctuations, leading to wasted resources and misunderstandings about women's health. There's significant financial waste associated with unnecessary testing, highlighting the need for better information and monitoring solutions.
