Menopause Awareness Month

Menopause Awareness Month, observed in October, aims to increase understanding of menopause, a natural biological process marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years typically around age 45-55. During this time, estrogen levels decline, causing physical and emotional symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes. The month promotes education on managing symptoms, encourages open conversations, and highlights the importance of health screenings and support. It’s a chance to empower women with knowledge about menopause, dispel misconceptions, and foster community awareness about this significant life transition.
