As we age, our bodies undergo significant physiological changes, often marked by a decrease in hormone production that leads to imbalances. For women, these changes frequently culminate in menopause.

Before reaching menopause, women experience two additional hormonal phases:

  • Premenopause: When menstrual cycles are regular.
  • Perimenopause: The transitional phase between ages 35 and 50, characterized by hormonal fluctuations.

After menopause, women enter the postmenopausal stage, which begins 12 months after the last menstrual period. During these phases, many physical and emotional changes can occur.

Common symptoms of hormone imbalance include:

  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Mood swings
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Insomnia
  • Unexplained weight gain

These symptoms are just a few that women may encounter, but it’s essential to recognize the potential long-term complications that can arise from hormonal imbalances.

Potential Complications Include:

  • Osteoporosis (weakened bones)
  • Increased risk of heart disease
  • Depression
  • Loss of bone mass
  • Decreased muscle definition
