The menopause is a natural stage in every woman's life and marks the end of the fertile years. During this time, the body gradually stops producing the female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone. This hormonal change can last for several years - not every woman needs medical treatment.

However, the menopause is often accompanied by physical and emotional changes that can cause considerable suffering.

Typical symptoms of the menopause

The symptoms vary greatly from woman to woman. The most common symptoms include

- Hot flushes and night sweats

- Sleep disorders

- Mood swings, irritability or depressive moods

- Dry skin and vaginal dryness

- Decreased libido

- Weight gain

- Joint and muscle pain

- Concentration and memory problems

Diagnostics

The menopause is defined retrospectively - as a period of twelve months without menstruation. The phase before this, in which cycle changes occur, is known as the perimenopause.

Not every woman needs a hormone test. A careful medical history and physical examination help to correctly classify complaints and find individual solutions.
