The impact of menopausal symptoms can be debilitating for some. As this phase lasts for years, so will its effects on your life. When you reach menopause (when you have had no periods for 365 days), your body’s lack of oestrogen creates a brand-new set of health risks that need to be minimised.

More than menopause
Perimenopausal symptoms vary widely, and it can be hard to be sure if what you’re experiencing is menopause-related or is something else altogether. Sometimes we focus on the symptoms because we want to be able to get on and do our everyday activities. We need to also look at the greater health picture to prevent heart disease and osteoporosis for example.
Most people are aware of the more common symptoms, like hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness, insomnia, and brain fog.
Did you know that there are a host of less common symptoms of menopause? Symptoms like formication (a feeling like ants crawling all over your skin), burning tongue, and heart palpitations, can all be related to menopause. They may not immediately be thought of as such, especially in persons under the age of 40. Some women go through menopause early. There are special health considerations here.
If you’re experiencing any perimenopausal symptoms that are bothering you get clarity and a plan to ease symptoms and look after your health by booking your complimentary call with Lynda right now.
