Menopause: Phases and Symptoms

Menopause is an important time in any woman’s life - it’s a transition that involves both body and mind.

Menopause occurs when the hormones produced by the pituitary gland no longer stimulate the reproductive cycle.

In most cases, the changes are gradual. While it can be divided into three stages, the duration and the symptoms vary from person to person.

1. Perimenopause

Perimenopause is what we call the transition to menopause.

It occurs at the end of the female reproductive cycle and it usually begins approximately 4 years before the menopause. It is characterised by a decrease in the production of oestrogen in the ovaries.

2. Menopause

The menopause is characterised by a permanent cessation of the ovarian function. The menstrual period no longer occurs due to the exhaustion of egg production and hormone release.

Hormone reduction can cause changes in the genital area, affect bone health and can cause an increase in blood cholesterol levels.

Menopause usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age. On average, women start their menopause at 51 years of age.

3. Postmenopause

Postmenopause begins when the menopause ends - this occurs when 12 months have elapsed since the last menstrual period. Due to various factors, including the reduction of oestrogen levels, the risk of diseases such as osteoporosis and heart disease increases at this stage.
