What Should I Expect During Menopause?

Menopause is a natural transition—but it can come with frustrating symptoms. One common question: “How do I know if I’m in menopause, and what can I do about it?”

What Is Menopause?

It’s when you haven’t had a period for 12 months in a row, usually between ages 45–55.

Common Symptoms:

Hot flashes or night sweats
Mood swings or anxiety
Vaginal dryness or discomfort during sex
Irregular periods during perimenopause
Sleep disturbances
Weight gain or metabolism changes

How Your OB-GYN Can Help:

Hormone tests (if needed) to confirm
Lifestyle tips for managing symptoms
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) if appropriate
Non-hormonal treatments for hot flashes, mood, or bone health

You don’t have to suffer in silence. Menopause is a major life stage—support and treatment are available.
