Menopause

Menopause is a natural transition in a women’s life which marks the end of her reproductive life and the permanent cessation of her menstrual cycle. The key thing here is that menopause is a natural transitional time in a women's life; it is not a disease and by no means does it need to be riddled with seemingly endless issues, discomfort and sleeplessness!

• You are said to have reached menopause after 12 months in a row of no further periods (the usual age is between 45 to 55 years.)
• About 70% of women have significant symptoms with menopause and 40% will see a doctor because of their symptoms.

Here are some menopausal symptoms that you may be experiencing:

• Hot flushes
• Vaginal changes
• Night sweats and chills
• Mood changes
• Libido issues
• Fatigue
• Headaches or migraines 

• Insomnia
• Weight gain
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Change to urinary frequency and urgency 
• ​Sleep disturbances 
  

Here at Flourish Health Emporium our team of health care professionals are experienced in treating and managing menopausal symptoms and they will create a treatment plan that will be tailor made to fit your individual case.

​To do this we use evidence-based suggestions which may include diet and lifestyle recommendations or herbal and nutritional supplements where appropriate while prioritising safety and consulting with your primary health care provider. We also utilize lab testing when appropriate because we believe testing is better than guessing!
