Menopause 101: What Every Woman Should Know

Menopause isn’t a cliff you fall off — it’s a transition your body has been preparing for. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help women understand what menopause actually is.

What menopause means:

You’ve reached menopause once you’ve gone 12 months without a period.
The average age is 51, but anywhere from 45–55 is normal.

Common menopause symptoms:

✔ Hot flashes and night sweats
✔ Sleep difficulties
✔ Weight changes
✔ Mood shifts
✔ Vaginal dryness
✔ Brain fog
✔ Joint aches
✔ Low libido

These changes are caused by low, stable estrogen levels.

Why menopause matters for long-term health:

Lower estrogen affects:
• Bone density
• Heart health
• Metabolism
• Genitourinary comfort
• Sleep and mood

This is why menopause care is so important — symptoms aren’t “just aging.” They’re treatable.

You’re not meant to suffer through it.

Hormone therapy, lifestyle support, and targeted treatments can make menopause a healthy, empowered next chapter.
