It’s not time to pause, it’s time to tame menopause

 Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life when her ovaries stop producing eggs. This typically happens between the ages of 45 and 55. During menopause, a woman’s body goes through a number of changes, including changes in her menstrual cycle, vaginal dryness, and hot flashes.

 The symptoms of menopause can vary from woman to woman. Some women may experience only mild symptoms, while others may experience more severe symptoms. The most common symptoms of menopause include:

• Hot flashes: Hot flashes are sudden feelings of heat that can occur in the face, neck, chest, and other parts of the body. They can last for a few minutes or up to an hour.
• Night sweats: Night sweats are similar to hot flashes, but they occur at night. They can cause you to wake up feeling hot and sweaty.
• Vaginal dryness: Vaginal dryness can make sex uncomfortable or painful. It can also make it more difficult to urinate.
• Mood swings: Mood swings are common during menopause. You may feel more irritable, anxious, or depressed.
• Sleep problems: Sleep problems are common during menopause. You may have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep.
• Weight gain: Some women experience weight gain during menopause. This is due to a number of factors, including changes in hormones and metabolism.
