Menopause Treatment at Wyborns Pharmacy
Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, marked by the end of monthly periods. It is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period.
The transition leading up to menopause, known as perimenopause, can last from a few months to several years. During this time, hormonal fluctuations may cause a wide range of symptoms — some of which can significantly affect daily life.
At Wyborns Pharmacy, we understand the impact menopause can have and are here to support you every step of the way.
Symptoms of Perimenopause and Menopause
The time leading up to menopause, called perimenopause, can begin years earlier. During this stage, fluctuating hormone levels can cause a range of physical and emotional symptoms, including:
- Anxiety
- Hot flashes
- Depression
- Painful sex
- Night sweats
- Vaginal dryness
