Menopause Support
Menopause is a natural transition that can bring a wide range of symptoms. Here's an overview of what to expect and how support can help.
A natural transition, usually late 40s–mid 50s
Symptoms vary widely — some have very few
You don't have to just put up with symptoms
Support and options from your physician
Menopause is a natural stage of life, but that doesn't mean you have to simply put up with difficult symptoms. With understanding and the right support, this transition can be managed far more comfortably.
What's happening
Menopause marks the end of menstrual periods, usually occurring in the late 40s to mid-50s. The years of change leading up to it — perimenopause — are when many symptoms appear, as hormone levels shift. Every person's experience is different.
Common symptoms
These can include hot flushes and night sweats, changes in sleep and mood, irregular periods during the transition, and other changes affecting comfort and wellbeing. Symptoms vary widely in type and intensity, and some people have very few.
How support helps
A conversation with your physician can help you understand what you're experiencing and weigh the options for managing symptoms that bother you — there are more than many people realise. Your overall health and individual situation guide what's appropriate.
