Menopause turns your world upside down.

Women make up 50% of the global population, and every one of us will experience menopause. Too many of us face this transition without a complete understanding of what happens to our bodies. Menopause ends menstruation—but there’s much more to learn about its long-term health effects.

What is menopause?

On entend souvent dire que les femmes sont "en ménopause". Cependant, officiellement, la ménopause est le terme qui désigne le moment où une femme n'a pas eu ses règles pendant 12 mois consécutifs. Cette simple définition ne reflète toutefois pas l'expérience en plusieurs phases, qui dure des années et qui marque la fin des années de fécondité d'une femme et le début d'une nouvelle étape de sa vie.

Comme pour la puberté, les femmes atteignent officiellement la ménopause à des âges différents, le plus souvent entre 45 et 55 ans

Just like puberty, the start of menopause isn’t the same for everyone—most often it happens between 45 and 55. It may also be set off by surgery or other treatments. The journey divides into three phases: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause, with symptoms and duration differing from one woman to another.

Perimenopause

This is the heart of the matter—the proper term for what people mean when they talk about menopause. Perimenopause is triggered when estrogen and progesterone levels begin to fluctuate erratically. It usually starts in your forties, though some may experience it earlier or later.

What changes occur in perimenopause?

Irregular Periods

During perimenopause, your ovaries start running low on eggs and slow down. This causes erratic fluctuations in your key hormones—estrogen and progesterone—which can in turn disrupt your cycle.

Your periods may become irregular, heavier or lighter, shorter or longer, or sometimes skip altogether. It also means that some months you may ovulate, other months you may not—and occasionally, you might even ovulate twice in one cycle.

Perimenopause Symptoms

Changes in your menstrual cycle are often the first sign of perimenopause. Other common symptoms include hot flashes and mood swings. These symptoms often flare up before your period when your estrogen levels drop.

Menopause

A woman is officially considered menopausal when she hasn't had her period for 12 consecutive months. If her periods stop for several months and then resume, the countdown to menopause resets.

What happens at menopause?

The End of Your Periods

You have officially reached menopause, which definitively ends your periods. But can you also say goodbye to your symptoms?

You might think things start to stabilize after 12 months without bleeding, but that’s not always the case. As with everything about menopause, what happens next is entirely unique to you.

Symptoms Ease Up

For some, the body adapts to these new low hormone levels, and symptoms gradually fade until they’re completely relieved.

For others, symptoms may persist longer, intensify, or even new ones might appear. Whatever happens, we’re here to help you navigate menopause.

Postmenopause

Postmenopause is an important phase that, like every stage of life, comes with its pros and cons. It follows menopause, and for most women, symptoms generally ease up.

D'une part, vous n'avez plus à faire face à des règles pénibles ni à vous préoccuper d'une grossesse non désirée.

Goodbye, Symptoms?

On one hand, you no longer have to endure painful periods or worry about an unwanted pregnancy.

On the other, postmenopause can introduce new health challenges—some simply part of natural aging, like osteoporosis or heart disease.

What’s Next?

The good news? There’s still plenty of life to live! But it remains important to look after your health.

Whether you’re managing lingering menopause symptoms or focusing on a healthier lifestyle—quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, exercising regularly, and eating well.

We won’t say it’s easy, but there’s a wealth of support available to help you.

It's not only hot flashes—there's more to the story.

Menopause signs break down into four key groups: physical, cognitive, emotional, and genito-urinary (GSM). You could face some or even none of these symptoms throughout menopause’s three stages. Whatever your experience, knowing the impact on your physical and mental health is essential.

Perte de libido

Loss of libido

Let's not let low libido, common in menopause, stay hidden. Often linked to declining estrogen and progesterone, it affects desire and emotional well-being. Let's tackle this topic openly and take action to restore balance and vitality.

Règles irrégulières

Irregular periods

Period changes often signal perimenopause. Every woman experiences it differently: your flow might be heavy, light, or even irregular, with months without a period. When bleeding stops and then resumes, the countdown to menopause starts over.

Anxiété et dépression

Anxiety and depression

Once, you conquered every challenge; now even minor hassles overwhelm you. Irritability, restlessness, and panic signal a reaction deeper than mere stress. Exhaustion and tension creep in—it’s time to rethink your balance.

Difficulté à se concentrer

Struggling to stay focused

You feel dizzy and confused, even forgetting simple details. Your focus fades, especially at work, and key words just slip away. You ask yourself, "What's wrong with me?" and long for the old you. Rest assured, many menopausal women feel exactly the same.

Infections urinaires

Urinary tract infections

Urinary infections cause a burning sensation when you pee, frequent urges to go, and can change the smell or color of your urine, sometimes with cramps, fever, or nausea. During menopause, lower estrogen levels disrupt your natural flora and thin the vaginal tissues. See your doctor if these symptoms occur.

Bouffées de chaleur

Hot flashes

Hot flashes show as a sudden surge of heat in the chest, neck, or face, lasting from 30 seconds to several minutes. The face blushes, the heart races, and sweating is heavy. When they occur at night, they are known as night sweats, a vasomotor symptom (VMS).

Prise de poids

Weight gain

During the menopausal transition, many women notice weight gain, especially around the abdomen and thighs, turning their silhouette into an apple shape rather than an hourglass. Besides hormones, aging, genetics, and lifestyle all play their part.

Troubles du sommeil

Sleep disorders

During perimenopause, falling asleep is tough, and frequent awakenings break your sleep. Over half of women experience this, often due to body temperature imbalances. This fragmented sleep can trigger mood swings that worsen these issues.

Relations sexuelles douloureuses

Painful sex

The drop in estrogen thins the vaginal wall, making it dry and less flexible, which can cause pain during sex. About 25% of menopausal women experience this discomfort that affects both body and mind. Talk with a menopause specialist.

Palpitations cardiaques

Heart palpitations

Your heart might pound or skip a beat. Hormonal fluctuations can boost your heart rate by 16 beats per minute and trigger hot flashes. Although common in menopause, these palpitations might signal other risks. Check in with your doctor if they persist.

Douleurs articulaires

Joint pain

Many women going through menopause report discomfort, warmth, and swelling in the neck, back, knees, ankles, fingers, elbows, or jaw. Roughly half of perimenopausal women suffer from joint pain, and you may wake up feeling unusually stiff due to a drop in estrogen, which normally helps keep inflammation at bay.

Irritabilité

Irritability

Your patience wears thin, and you snap at the smallest detail. Irritability is the most common symptom for perimenopausal women, often driven by hormonal ups and downs. Don't be hard on yourself—you’re not alone.

Chaque femme vivra le passage à la ménopause à sa façon. Chez certaines, il s’agira d’une transition progressive à peine perceptible alors que chez d'autres, la ménopause peut être caractérisée par des symptômes graves pouvant nuire à la qualité de vie.

Menopause is a unique journey for every woman.

For some, menopause means battling a host of severe symptoms; for others, it’s a gentle transition. But one fact remains: Menopause goes far beyond hot flashes and doesn’t happen in an instant. It also brings social and career challenges alongside its physical, emotional, and cognitive effects.
