Menopause
Menopause is a natural stage of life, yet for many women it can bring physical changes, emotional challenges, and uncertainty about how best to care for their health. At Alara Women’s Health, we want to change the conversation around menopause. This is not the end of vitality — it’s a new chapter, and with the right support, women can feel strong, confident, and empowered through the transition and beyond.
Understanding Menopause
Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles and typically occurs between the ages of 45–55. The years leading up to it (perimenopause) and after it (postmenopause) can bring a variety of symptoms, including:
- Hot flushes and night sweats
- Fatigue or disrupted sleep
- Mood changes or anxiety
- Weight gain or changes in body composition
- Vaginal dryness or pain with intimacy
- Reduced bone density and muscle mass
- Pelvic floor changes, including bladder leakage or prolapse
While every woman’s experience is unique, what’s common is the need for understanding, reassurance, and practical strategies for navigating these changes.
