Below it is an illustration: A woman with gray, shoulder-length hair, an orange sweater, and a green scarf is shown from behind, sitting on a wooden bench and gazing out over an autumnal mountain landscape with yellow and orange-colored trees, green meadows, a coniferous forest, a lake, and snow-capped peaks in the background. In the foreground are rocks and wildflowers. In the center of the image is a round white button with a green arrow pointing to the right; below it is a row of dots indicating additional slides. In the lower right corner, on a white background, is the logo of Familienpraxis Tirol, featuring a line drawing of a family against a mountain silhouette.

Today is World Menopause Day 🌿

Menopause is the last menstrual period. On average, this occurs at age 51, but it can only be confirmed after 12 months without a period. We refer to the time before and after this as perimenopause. The transitions are gradual, and every woman experiences them differently.

On top of that, this phase often coincides with a demanding time in life: work, family, caring for loved ones, and financial responsibilities. Physical and mental stress are closely linked. This year, World Menopause Day is focused on chronic pain during midlife. These issues, too, deserve to be taken seriously.

Are you experiencing symptoms? Have them checked by a doctor or gynecologist. If this time is taking an emotional toll on you, seek psychological support. That’s a big step. 💚
