What Is Menopause?

Peri-menopause is defined as the point in time when a woman’s menstrual cycle changes, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. Menopause is one day in time, 12 months after your last menstrual period. The transition is huge and can be life altering. This marks the end of fertility and is often accompanied by a range of symptoms due to hormonal changes, primarily a decrease in oestrogen production. While menopause is a natural process, the symptoms can vary in intensity and may affect your physical and emotional wellbeing.

At The Glasgow Skin Clinic Perth, we understand how menopause can impact your health and quality of life, which is why we offer tailored treatments to help you manage these changes effectively.

Common Symptoms of Menopause

1. Hot Flashes and Night Sweats (Vasomotor symptoms)
   These sudden waves of intense heat, often accompanied by sweating, are some of the most common symptoms of menopause. They can disrupt daily activities and sleep patterns, leaving you feeling uncomfortable and fatigued. It can also affect skin.

2. Sleep Disturbances & Insomnia
   Many women experience difficulty sleeping during menopause due to hormonal fluctuations. Night sweats, discomfort, and changes in mood can all interfere with your ability to get restful, restorative sleep.
   

3. Mood Swings, Anxiety & Depression
   The hormonal shifts during menopause can lead to irritability, mood swings, and increased feelings of anxiety. These emotional changes can impact relationships and overall mental health
   

4. Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort
   As oestrogen levels decrease, many women experience vaginal dryness, leading to discomfort during sex and an increased risk of urinary tract infections.
   

5. Decreased Bone Density
   Oestrogen plays a vital role in maintaining bone health, and a decline in this hormone during menopause can lead to a decrease in bone density, making bones more susceptible to fractures.
