Managing Hormonal Health: Understanding Menopause and Perimenopause

Menopause and perimenopause bring natural changes, but expert care can make the transition smoother.

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
  • Limited cultural awareness leading women to suffer in silence

 

Health Risks If Ignored

  • Bone loss leading to osteoporosis and fractures
  • Elevated risk of heart disease and stroke
  • Anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life
