Menopause and Mood: How Your Body Changes and How to Care for It
In discussions about the female body, we often hear about the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and hormonal changes—but we hear far less about what comes next.
Menopause is a natural phase in every woman's life, yet it is often shrouded in mystery due to taboos, silence, and embarrassment.
Navigating it can be challenging, especially if you don’t know what to expect. That’s why it is vital to understand how the body changes, how menopause shows up, and the impact it can have on our emotional well-being.
Menopause: How it changes your body and mood
Menopause marks the end of ovulation, triggered by a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels.
We consider it "full menopause" once the menstrual cycle has been absent for 12 consecutive months. In reality, however, it is a long and gradual process that involves the body, emotions, and self-perception.
- Mood swings, anxiety, and irritability
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Reduction of sexual desire
- Vaginal dryness, due to the drop in estrogen and the loss of collagen
These symptoms manifest themselves differently from woman to woman, both in timing and intensity, and can profoundly affect the mood, balance and self-confidence.
