★★★★★
“I went to my doctor, she told me I still have my period so it couldn’t be menopause. It was just a part of aging. Thank you PAUZ for providing me a community to share this is not acceptable and the evidence to be confident and access care.” - Dianna F.

Physiological changes such as atrophy, irritation, weakened pelvic floor muscles, and a reduction in lubrication can impact your desire to have sex.
Moreover, possible physical and mental symptoms of perimenopause such as weight gain and depression may hamper your confidence and interest in sex.
Let’s dive into what happens during menopause and what we can do to rev up our pink parts.
What is menopause, and when does it typically begin?
Menopause usually begins in the fabulous 40s or 50s, but it's as punctual as a cat—shows up when it wants. Some experience it earlier, especially if they've had surgery or medical treatment that affects the ovaries. Menopause marks the end of menstrual cycles and is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period. While it is used as an umbrella term to cover perimenopause and postmenopause, it really represents a single point in time, the day you officially missed your period for 12 consecutive months.
What are the signs that I’m entering menopause?
The first signals of perimenopause are typically a change in your period. A change in timing, duration, and heaviness. If you find yourself shedding clothes like it's summer in the Sahara or feeling moodier than a teenager, you might be getting some signals. Other signs include sleep disturbances, memory lapses, and saying goodbye to regular periods. In fact there are over 34 symptoms impacting almost every system in your body impacting your physical, sexual, and mental functioning and health.
How do perimenopause and postmenopause differ from menopause?
Perimenopause is the start of menopause where estrogen and progesterone begin to decline and your body tries to compensate, creating an internal rollercoaster ride. Your cycle gets irregular, and symptoms start popping up. Postmenopause is the stretch after you’ve hit the 12-month mark without a period. Menopause is the grand milestone in between. Think of it as the main event flanked by the pre-show and the after-party. This does not mean symptoms cease necessarily and introduces increased risks for osteoporosis, heart disease, and other metabolic chronic diseases.
