Menopause
Menopause can be a sensitive topic — for many women, the menopause transition marks the end of their reproductive years and the onset of aging, which can be a difficult and emotional time. Speculations about menopause also create stigmas and actually prevent women from getting the support and treatment they need - and deserve - during this phase of life.
The first stage of the menopause transition is perimenopause, which begins for some women as early as in their 30s. This is the point at which the body begins to gradually reduce its production of the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, resulting in symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and over 100 others. The next stage is menopause, the conclusion of the reproductive cycle, marked by twelve consecutive months without a period. A woman may still experience symptoms during this stage and up to 20 years from the beginning of perimenopause.
Just because menopause can be clearly defined, doesn’t mean the experience is easy or straightforward. Here at Winona, we’re focused on taking care of women and supporting them along this journey. Find out more about the menopause transition, symptoms, and how to manage them – so you can get on with living your best life.
