Menopause Counselling

To all women, have you been experiencing sleepless nights? Does your body experience sudden temperature spikes? Have you been having night sweats? Or, fluctuating mood, brain fog, sudden hair loss or facial hair growth? All these symptoms may sound like they are scary but fret not! This is a natural process and transition of life that you are going through - menopause! Dry skin, leaky bladder, pain during intercourse are the other symptoms that you might experience and this is certainly an inevitable part of your life.

It can also cause mental health issues like increased stress, anxiety, fear and depression. A menopause counsellor will help you be prepared for this stage of life and positively go through the natural biological process.

What is menopause?

Menopause is a period of 12 months in a woman’s life after the last menstrual cycle. Some women can experience perimenopause when the menopausal symptoms can occur 10 years before, usually in their 40s but can start as early as a person’s mid- to late 30s. During these years a woman can experience hot flashes, night sweats, sleeplessness, poor memory, vaginal dryness and depression.
