#Menopause

Menopause is a single point in time, twelve months after your last period, but the years around it touch almost every system in the body. Indian women reach it around 46 to 47, earlier than the global average, and often with far less information than they deserve.

The articles here cover that full range: what falling oestrogen does to joints, bones and the brain, why sleep breaks down and what actually repairs it, the loneliness that few women say out loud, and what it costs organisations when experienced women are left to manage all of this alone.

None of it argues that menopause is something to endure quietly. Each piece explains the biology in plain language, then sets out what helps, so you can decide what to try and what to raise with a clinician.
