PRE/POST MENOPAUSAL

GOOD NEWS: Menopause is a natural biological process and not an illness. It is the permanent end of menstruation and fertility. Menopause is the date on which you haven't had a menstrual period for a year. Perimenopause is the period of hormonal fluctuation that leads up to menopause and it can last from 5 to 15 years or longer. The physical and emotional symptoms of the perimenopausal/menopausal process can disrupt your sleep and sap your energy. Menopause can be caused by medical treatment (for example, hysterectomy) with the same symptoms. Menopausal symptoms are the result of hormonal imbalance.
