Managing your
menopause

If you start noticing possible menopause symptoms, it’s important to speak with a healthcare professional. They can confirm whether you’re experiencing menopause or a different health condition.

Is it perimenopause?

A diagnosis of perimenopause may be given by a healthcare professional when there is an initial change to your menstrual pattern, for example if your menstrual cycle length shortens to 2-3 weeks or lengthen to many months, or your amount of menstrual blood loss changes.1

Is it menopause?

A diagnosis of menopause may be given by a healthcare professional when menstrual bleeding hasn’t occurred for at least 12 months, and by assessing whether you are experiencing symptoms such as (but not limited to) hot flushes, mood changes, urogenital symptoms, altered libido and sleep disturbances.1,2

Tracking your symptoms

Some women may notice changes in their symptoms over time. Tracking your symptoms can be an effective way to spot any changes, and flagging changes to your healthcare professional can help them to provide you with the right support as your needs evolve.

Regularly keep in touch with your healthcare professional to explore menopause management options and discuss whether your current treatment is still the best option for you.
