Menopause is a natural biological milestone, typically occurring between ages 45–55, when menstrual cycles permanently stop. However, many women experience perimenopause—the years leading up to menopause—with irregular cycles and hormonal fluctuations. These changes can impact both physical and emotional health.
What Happens During Menopause & Perimenopause?
- Decline in estrogen and progesterone
- Irregular or skipped periods
- Symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, mood changes, and sleep difficulties
Why It Matters in the UAE
- High rates of osteoporosis among postmenopausal women due to vitamin D deficiency
- Increased cardiovascular risks after menopause
