Breaking the Silence: The New Era of Women's Health and Menopause
Nowadays, talking about women's health, including menopause and perimenopause, is no longer off-limits. Unlike our mothers' generation, which rarely shared their experiences, today's women openly discuss their stories. Thanks to social media and public platforms, a growing conversation is removing the stigma around menopause. This openness empowers women with information and support, changing how menopause is viewed, as a normal part of life, not something to hide or be ashamed of.
"Our mothers were largely silent about what happened to them as they passed through this midlife change. But a new generation of women has already started to break the wall of silence." — Trisha Posne
Menopause in the Workplace: Why It Matters
Addressing menopause in the workplace is essential for supporting employees' health and well-being during this natural life phase. By acknowledging and accommodating menopausal symptoms, businesses can reduce absenteeism, maintain productivity, and foster a culture of understanding and inclusivity.
Understanding Menopause: Key Facts
Menopause marks a significant milestone in a woman's life, signifying the end of her menstrual cycle. It is confirmed after twelve months without a period. The time leading up to menopause is called perimenopause,)) and the time after is postmenopause. Typically occurring around ages 50 to 51, menopause onset and duration vary. Early menopause occurs before 45, and premature ovarian insufficiency before 40. Induced or surgical menopause due to medical interventions can cause more abrupt and severe symptoms. Diagnosis after 45 is usually symptom-based, while younger women may require blood tests.
