Every woman has a different menopause experience. However, there are plenty of common signs and symptoms that indicate menopause is starting. Menopause can cause significant changes to both mind and body. These fall into several main categories, including:
Menopause hormones alter your body’s normal functions and cause a series of physical changes including hot flushes, headaches, heart palpitations, fluctuations in your weight, and bloating. Menopause can also cause vaginal dryness, joint pain, hair loss, and bladder issues.
Changing hormones can also affect your mood, causing anxiety, irritability, and episodes of depression. Many menopausal women also experience low libido and a drop in self-confidence. Menopause can cause temporary problems with memory and recall and make focusing on specific tasks harder.

Menopause is a normal part of life signalling the end of the time in which a woman can get pregnant. This is the period immediately after menstruation stops as hormones change and fluctuate. While menopause can be a difficult and emotional time for many women, it is temporary.
Hormone levels help to regulate your body and impact everything from metabolism and weight to fertility, mood, and the cardiovascular system. As a woman’s hormones naturally fluctuate, it can cause the symptoms associated with menopause and the end of menstruation. Many women take steps during perimenopause and menopause to help regulate and balance hormone levels, minimise symptoms, and promote overall health and well-being during this difficult time.
Menopause will affect all women at some stage, but it usually starts after the age of 45. However, it can happen earlier. The early stage of hormone fluctuations, called perimenopause, often begins at the age of 40 and causes irregular periods. After menopause, hormone levels stabilise and symptoms should disappear.
Oestrogen is a key hormone supporting fertility and reproduction. During menopause, oestrogen levels decline to bring menstruation to an end. This results in vaginal dryness, low sex drive, mood swings, and hot flashes.
Oestrogen deficiency at any stage in life can have a big impact on fertility and libido. In addition, low oestrogen levels can cause the overproduction of other hormones resulting in a permanent hormonal imbalance impacting your overall health.
The progesterone hormone works alongside oestrogen to regulate the menstrual cycle. Before menopause, it helps shred the uterine lining as part of menstruation. During menopause, progesterone levels fluctuate and decline, resulting in irregular periods and vaginal dryness.
Progesterone deficiency can cause panic attacks and anxiety as well as prevent normal menstruation. Very low progesterone can also cause hot flashes at night, headaches, abdominal pain, and acne.
Often considered a male hormone, testosterone plays an important role in menstruation and menopause. Testosterone helps regulate the female sex drive and helps keep reproductive tissue healthy. During menopause, testosterone levels fluctuate. Increased testosterone contributes to mood swings and can cause hair growth on the face and body. Low testosterone causes mood swings, low libido, and weight gain.
When menopause creates low testosterone over an extended period, it can cause problems with the cardiovascular system.
Also known as DHEA, Dehydroepiandrosterone helps your body produce and regulate your other hormones. As DHEA levels shift, it can cause an imbalance of the other hormones. Maintaining DHEA levels during menopause can help regulate other hormones and minimize symptoms.
Low DHEA levels can also contribute to menopausal symptoms such as decreased sex drive and vaginal dryness. If levels remain low, it can cause severe dehydration and lead to further health complications.
