The onset of menopause brings considerable hormonal fluctuations that can generate various signs. Understanding typical symptoms helps determine if they require attention from a menopause specialist.
- Perimenopause - The transitional stage before the final menstrual period when hormone levels begin varying. Usually lasts four years on average. - Postmenopause - Defined as the point 12 months after the last menstrual cycle ceases. Marks the end of fertility.
- Hot flashes - Sudden feelings of intense body heat, flushing, sweating - Night sweats - Severe hot flashes occurring during sleep - Vaginal dryness - Thinning and inflammation of vaginal tissues - Urinary problems - Increased urgency, frequency, incontinence - Sexual dysfunction - Lack of libido, arousal issues, discomfort - Sleep disturbances - Insomnia, difficulty falling/staying asleep - Mood changes - Irritability, anxiety, depression - Cognitive issues - Impaired memory, difficulty concentrating - Weight gain - Accumulation of belly fat as metabolism slows
| Key Timepoints | Changes |
|---|---|
| 1 year before last menstrual period | Hormone levels begin fluctuating |
| Final menstrual period | Loss of ovarian follicular activity |
| 1 year after final menstrual period | Postmenopause officially begins |
These representative symptoms demonstrate why consulting a menopause specialist can greatly help address challenges during the menopausal transition.
Confirming menopause involves blood tests measuring follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) levels.
Accurately diagnosing menopausal status is crucial for determining appropriate treatment options if needed.
| Phase | FSH Levels | AMH Levels |
|---|---|---|
| Premenopause | Normal | Normal |
| Perimenopause | Fluctuating | Declining |
| Postmenopause | Elevated | Very low or undetectable |
Regular reassessments help identify progression through the menopausal transition and indicate if additional interventions could help relieve escalating symptoms. Our exceptional menopause experts handle required testing and continually track your status.
Allowing menopausal symptoms to persist untreated can negatively impact quality of life and increase future health risks. Research shows hormone therapy (HT) commenced around the onset of menopause provides the greatest benefits and reduces risks when taken appropriately.^1
- Worsening menopause symptoms interfering with sleep, work, relationships - Higher chance of developing osteoporosis and bone fractures later in life - Increased likelihood of cardiovascular disease, stroke - Greater risk for neurological conditions like dementia - Problematic urogenital atrophy leading to infection - Declining physical and mental health
Consulting a dedicated menopause specialist allows timely interventions to prevent such consequences and helps women transition through menopause safely and comfortably.
