Managing your
menopause
Is it perimenopause?

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.
