Pre & Post-Menopause Syndrome: Causes & Holistic Healing with Ayurveda, Siddha & Homeopathy

What is Menopause?

Menopause is a natural phase in a woman’s life when menstrual cycles stop permanently, marking the end of reproductive years. It typically occurs between 45-55 years. The transition period leading up to menopause is called Perimenopause (Pre-Menopause), while the years after menopause are known as Post-Menopause.

Pre-Menopause (Perimenopause) – What Happens?

Starts 5-10 years before menopause (usually after 40).
Estrogen & progesterone fluctuate, causing irregular cycles.
Symptoms are similar to menopause but cycles are still present.

Post-Menopause – What Happens?

Occurs after 12 consecutive months without periods.
Estrogen & progesterone drop significantly.
Increased risk of osteoporosis, heart disease & weight gain.

Common Symptoms of Pre-Menopause

Irregular Periods – Heavy, light, or skipped cycles.
Mood Swings & Irritability – Emotional ups & downs.
Hot Flashes & Night Sweats – Sudden heat surges.
Sleep Disturbances – Difficulty falling or staying asleep.
Weight Gain & Slowed Metabolism – Common in midlife.
