UNDERSTAND
What changes in the body at menopause?
When estrogen falls, temperature control, sleep, the bladder and metabolism change together. That is why we look at the whole body instead of a single symptom.

Urinary discomfort · dryness
Frequent or urgent urination and vaginal dryness can occur. They are easy to postpone because they are hard to talk about.
Insomnia · persistent fatigue
Fatigue that rest does not relieve. It is a change in the body, not a matter of willpower.
