MENOPAUSE SYMPTOMS

Overview

Around 75% of women experience menopause symptoms, yet many suffer in silence without seeking professional help or receiving an accurate diagnosis. Menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years, accompanied by various symptoms due to hormonal changes, which can significantly impact both professional and personal lives.

Every year, numerous women struggle with the effects of menopause without proper support. Studies have shown that individuals experiencing menopause often face misunderstandings and misconceptions, resulting in feelings of frustration, low self-esteem, and anxiety about their condition.
