Alongside the natural process of menopause, women often experience symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats, decreased bone density, weight gain, and sleep disturbances. These changes can have a profound impact on overall wellbeing and quality of life as well as on families and loved ones.
Managing menopausal symptoms depends on individual circumstances, relationships, and overall health. Empowerment through tips and tools for comfort during this phase is crucial.
Menopause may cause you to feel challenged by things that were not front of mind before, you may start to feel more anxious and apprehensive about what’s to come next or even feel like people see you differently or have changed their opinion about you because you are going through menopause.
