Understanding Menopause
Menopause is a natural transition that can bring changes to how you feel day to day - physically, emotionally, and mentally. It doesn’t happen all at once, and experiences can vary widely from person to person.
The term menopause is often used to describe the whole journey, including the lead-up to menopause (perimenopause) and the time after periods have stopped (postmenopause). Understanding where you might be within this transition can help make sense of the changes you’re noticing.

Perimenopause
Perimenopause is the transition into menopause, when your hormones start to shift, and symptoms can come and go. This stage often lasts years and is when most symptoms begin.
Menopause
Menopause is the point when your periods stop completely - officially confirmed after 12 months without one. It marks the end of monthly cycles, but it’s also the start of a new stage.
Postmenopause
After menopause, hormone levels stabilise at lower levels. Some symptoms ease, others continue -support still matters.
