WHAT ARE PERI MENOPAUSAL AND POST MENOPAUSAL CHANGES ?

PERIMENOPAUSE

Perimenopause is the transitional time around menopause(a period when a woman’s periods stop). It is marked by changes in the menstrual cycle, along with other physical and emotional symptoms. This time can last for 2 to 8 years.
Perimenopause is a natural process caused when your ovaries gradually stop working. Ovulation may become erratic and then stop. The menstrual cycle lengthens, and flow may become irregular before your final period.
During this time, your body releases eggs less regularly, makes less oestrogen and other hormones, becomes less fertile, has shorter and more irregular menstrual cycles.

SYMPTOMS:

• Mood changes
• Changes in sexual desires
• Trouble concentrating or with memory
• Headaches
• Night sweats
• Hot flashes
• Vaginal dryness
• Trouble with sleep
• Joint and muscle aches
• Frequent urination
• PMS like symptoms

POSTMENOPAUSE

Post menopause is a term to describe the time after you have gone through menopause. When you haven’t got periods for longer than 12 consecutive months. At this stage in life, your reproductive years are behind you and you are no longer ovulating.
Women in post menopause are at an increased risk for osteoporosis because their bodies don’t make a lot of oestrogen, which is essential for maintaining strong and healthy bones.
