Menopause symptoms:
Self-care tips

According to the experience of doctors, psychologists and women themselves, this 5-point plan can help relieve menopausal symptoms and encourage a positive outlook on life.
The five-point plan to tackle menopause symptoms
Stay positive!
The less you think about the symptoms, the easier it is to stay relaxed.
Hot flushes and sleep problems as well as emotional challenges are common menopause symptoms, which can often get in the way of the positive new beginning many women hope for during this stage of life. To stop yourself from slipping into a negative mindset, it is helpful to remember that the symptoms of menopause are only temporary. The less you think about the symptoms, the easier it is to stay relaxed. It can also help to laugh or joke about the symptoms with your friends now and then.
Exercise is the best medicine
Just 20–30 minutes per day is enough.
Like with many other conditions, it has been scientifically proven that exercise plays an important role in improving symptoms and well-being during menopause. To get the best results, you should exercise regularly and avoid pushing yourself too hard. 20–30 minutes per day is enough — whether you opt for walking, running, swimming or cycling.
Managing stress makes a difference
...even for menopause symptoms!
Most of us think that our stress levels will reduce at some point. This is a common mistake. As we get older, the number of responsibilities and sources of stress we face — whether at work or at home — usually increases, which can have a negative impact on menopause symptoms. This means that you need to take action if you want to reduce your stress. Take a look at your responsibilities and identify any unnecessary tasks or tasks that can be delegated. Relaxation techniques, such as autogenic training or progressive muscle relaxation, can also help to lower stress levels. Your health insurance company can help you to learn these techniques.

It's advice you'll find everywhere: Treat yourself. And yet, that massage voucher you got for your birthday is still sitting in a drawer two years later because you just haven't found the time. Start setting aside some time to treat yourself. Start with just ten minutes a week. What you do with this time is up to you — the important thing is that you don't miss this opportunity to pamper yourself. Have fun!
Love and relationships during menopause
Experience passion in new ways and with intensity
Many women wonder what their sex life will be like during and after menopause. The answer is simple: the same as before. Studies have even shown that women's interest in sensuality may increase during menopause in spite of any symptoms. This is where life experience really pays off: Once the uncertainties of their younger years are behind them, most women experience desire and passion in new ways and with greater intensity. Make the most of this opportunity, which can enhance your natural radiance.
Additional information
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.
