Menopause Explained: What You’re Feeling Is Real and You’re Not Alone

"Menopause looks different for every woman. With the right support, it can be a time of strength, clarity, and renewed confidence. Inova Aesthetics and Wellness is here to guide you every step of the way."

Menopause is one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman’s life. For many women, it can feel confusing, isolating, and overwhelming, especially when your body suddenly does not feel like your body anymore.

At Inova Aesthetics and Wellness, we want you to know something important right away.

What you are feeling is real, and help is available.

If you have been feeling off, exhausted, moody, foggy, or unlike yourself lately, menopause or perimenopause may be playing a larger role than you realize.

What Is Menopause and Perimenopause?

Menopause officially occurs when a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, typically between the ages of 45 and 55. However, many women begin experiencing symptoms years earlier during a phase called perimenopause.

This hormonal transition can last several years and affects far more than just your menstrual cycle.

Common Menopause Symptoms Women Experience

Every woman’s experience with menopause is different, but many share similar symptoms. These may include:

• Persistent fatigue or low energy

• Brain fog or difficulty concentrating

• Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability

• Trouble sleeping or night sweats

• Weight gain or changes in body composition

• Hot flashes

• Low libido

• Joint aches or muscle soreness

• Feeling disconnected from yourself

Too often, women are told these symptoms are just stress, just aging, or something they should push through.

You do not have to accept feeling miserable as your new normal.

Why Menopause Can Feel So Disruptive

Hormones play a powerful role in nearly every system in the body, including energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, and mental clarity. As estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels fluctuate and decline, the entire body can be affected.

Many women describe menopause as feeling like:

• I do not recognize myself anymore

• I am doing everything right, but I still feel awful

• I am tired of being tired

If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and you are not imagining it.
