Menopause:
A completely natural
phase of life.

Although menopause is a completely natural life phase for women, it can often be accompanied by unpleasant physical and emotional symptoms.

During menopause, production of the sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which are important for the menstrual cycle, gradually decreases. This results in typical menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, sleep problems and mood swings.

During the menopausal transition, the body takes several years to adjust to this reduction in sex hormones. The disappearance of these unpleasant symptoms indicates that the natural hormonal transition process is finally complete.

During menopause, the ovaries produce fewer and fewer female sex hormones. This can result in typical menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes, mood swings and vaginal dryness.

Menopause is a time of change: Hormone levels fluctuate significantly, often causing physical symptoms and a reduced sex drive. However, this doesn't mean that sensuality and your sex life have to suffer — in fact, they may even become more fulfilling.
