October is National Violence Awareness Month. The month of observation began in 1981 by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence as a Day of Unity to connect battered women’s advocates across the country.
Menstruation is common knowledge to everyone, especially to ladies who experience this natural body cycle at least monthly.
However, these “periodic visits” don’t last forever. Menstrual cycles stop temporarily during pregnancy. They punctuate most women’s lives for decades until they permanently stop. This phenomenon is known as “Menopause”. It is the body’s natural way of saying that your reproduction role is at rest permanently.
Menopause is more than just hot flushes and total arrest of a woman’s period. A female’s body undergoes many other changes, including sleeping problems and several hormonal issues. Though these are a natural part of a woman’s life, they can still be uncomfortable too.
The menopausal years may not be something women look forward to, but it will happen sooner or later. Whether it’s you, your mother, sister, or friend, all ladies will eventually go through this transition. However, understanding the whole gamut of a period and menopausal issues can help you manage this concern and sail through this phase in stride.
Ladies, embrace this new phase of your lives. If you have some coping mechanisms that are worth sharing, please feel free to tell the community in the comments. Don’t forget to share this post with someone you see fit!
