When Does Menopause Start?
Let’s Talk About It…
These days, we are constantly flooded with messages about our bodies and how to take care of them. We're encouraged to eat right, exercise regularly and get our yearly check-ups. Despite this abundance of communication, there's one issue that's rarely discussed openly: menopause.
You deserve answers to your questions: When does menopause start? What is menopause? What are the symptoms of menopause? And how can we make the transition as seamless as possible?
Let's start a conversation about menopause so we can dispel the mystery surrounding this natural phase of every woman’s life.
When Does Menopause Start?
You may have heard of the phrase "hitting menopause age,” but contrary to common belief, menopause can come at any time. Most women begin to experience menopause in their early 50s, however it can start as early as age 40 or as late as over 60 years old!
What is Menopause?
Menopause is the natural, permanent end of a woman's menstruation cycle and fertility. Due to the drastic change in hormones, menopause can come with a variety of unpleasant symptoms such as hot flashes and mood changes.
Fortunately, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) can provide balance and relief during this often difficult time of life. With BHRT, selected bio-identical hormones mimic the structure of your body's hormones, resulting in holistic, efficient healing and soothing of the discomforts associated with menopause.
There is no need to dread the transition into this new phase of your life! With BHRT on your side, you'll tackle menopause with ease and grace.
