The menopause - also known medically as the climacteric - refers to the natural transition from a woman's fertile phase of life to the time after the last menstrual period, the so-called menopause. This occurs on average around the age of 51, although the exact time can vary greatly from person to person. Many women do not perceive the absence of menstruation as a loss, but rather as a relief. Nevertheless, this phase of life is often accompanied by profound hormonal changes that can have noticeable physical and emotional effects.
Hormone levels, particularly oestrogen and progesterone, begin to fluctuate several years before the last menstruation. During this so-called perimenopause, the first signs often appear, such as cycle irregularities, hot flushes, sleep disorders or mood swings. These symptoms can be mild or very pronounced - every woman experiences the transition in her own way. Other possible side effects include night sweats, difficulty concentrating, lack of motivation, vaginal dryness, reduced libido or joint problems. For many women, this is a time of upheaval in which not only the body, but also their own self-image and social environment are undergoing change. Although the hormone balance stabilizes again after the menopause, it remains at a significantly lower level than before. The hormonal change can have long-term effects on bone health, bladder function, metabolism and the cardiovascular system. It is therefore important not to neglect preventive healthcare during this phase of life.
Today, there are a number of ways to alleviate the symptoms of the menopause and maintain quality of life. The fertisuisse treatment spectrum includes herbal or naturopathic approaches as well as modern medical therapies. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a proven and effective method of treating severe menopausal symptoms. However, it is not equally suitable for every woman and should be carefully considered. Due to numerous and often contradictory reports in the media, many women are very uncertain as to whether hormonal treatment makes sense or is even risky.
