Every woman will go through menopause, but most donât realise just how many symptoms come with it.
Menopause is a natural stage of life, usually occurring in the early 50âs, when periods stop completely. In the years leading up to it (perimenopause) and those that follow (postmenopause), itâs common to experience a variety of changes and symptoms.
Yet many women begin this transition unaware of just how wide-ranging these symptoms can be. Hereâs a list of the medically recognised menopause symptoms:
Hot flushes
Night sweats
Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
Daytime fatigue
Sleep disturbances
Mood swings
Irritability
Anxiety
Depression or low mood
Tearfulness or feeling more emotional
Loss of motivation
Loss of confidence
Memory problems
Poor concentration or brain fog
Vaginal dryness
Vaginal itching and/or irritation
Painful in*******se (dyspareunia)
Decreased libido (low sexual desire)
Urinary urgency
Urinary frequency
Urinary incontinence
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Joint pain
Muscle aches
Back pain
Heart palpitations
Dizziness and light-headedness
Headaches and migraines
Dry skin
Thinning hair
Increased facial hair
Crawling, tingling or pins-and-needles sensations (paresthesias)
Irregular periods
Heavy or prolonged bleedingÂ
Thereâs a lot, but knowledge is power! By staying informed on what to expect and seeking support, there are many treatment options available. No woman should have to go through this stage feeling unsupported or without relief.

HPV is more common than most people think, and often, it clears without symptoms. Here are the facts in Australia:
ă°ď¸ Around 85% of people who have ever been sexually active will get HPV at some stage.
ă°ď¸ Most infections are harmless and are cleared by the immune system within 1â2 years.
ă°ď¸ Some HPV types are âhighâriskâ. If infection persists, they can lead to cervical preâcancer or cancer.
Thatâs why HPV vaccination (before exposure) and regular cervical screening (every 5 years for people aged 25â74 with a cervix) are so important, even if you feel fine.
