Dear Kysh Community, the menopause It doesn't just mean hot flashes or irregular periods, but a transformation that involves the whole body and emotional balance.
During the perimenopause —the phase preceding menopause, which can begin as early as your mid-40s—the ovaries begin to produce less estrogen and progesterone. This decline occurs irregularly, with alternating peaks and troughs: this is why many women describe the feeling of being on a real roller coaster.
Hormones not only regulate the menstrual cycle, but also affect organs, bones, skin, brain, and heart.
This is why the symptoms of menopause can be so diverse and surprising, ranging from rapid heartbeat, mental confusion, and dry skin to stiffer joints, mood swings, sudden hot flashes, and a general sense of restlessness.
Even if the hormone replacement therapy (HRT) It is now considered an effective and safe option for many women. Each choice must be personal, conscious, and discussed with your doctor.
