Menopause marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Typically, this transition occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. The transitional phase leading up to menopause is referred to as perimenopause. During this time, many women experience significant physical, mental, and emotional shifts. In previous generations, including those of our mothers and grandmothers, this phase was also encountered, but it often went unrecognized by many. They quietly endured this challenging period without adequate support, resulting in numerous issues such as muscular pain, weight gain, urinary problems, sleep disturbances, and more, which received little attention from those around them.

However, the situation has evolved significantly. Over the years, the emergence of a more cultured and well-informed world has raised awareness and offered new insights into women’s health. Menopausal issues have begun to gain attention, leading to research on their holistic remedies. Consequently, health awareness within our society has grown considerably.

When comparing the same age group of our generation to that of our mothers, the differences become quite clear. In this modern age, menopause is seen as "the beginning of a new chapter," or a newfound freedom—free from concerns about periods, contraception, and pregnancy.

The health risks associated with the menopausal stage arise from decreased production of estrogen and progesterone, affecting both muscle mass and bone density. Alongside weight gain, other common issues such as insomnia, urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, joint pain, hot flashes, depression, and anxiety often emerge during this phase of life.
