“Menopause” is a word that is surrounded by a commotion of notions regarding a negative life change. Many articles warn readers that women going through menopause are miserable, disorderly and that their life has changed dramatically.
While those qualities might be true some of the time, the life a menopausal woman is pretty similar to the life she lived before entering menopause. She just has bouts of discomfort from vaginal dryness, and might have to spend a little more time at the market while looking for the best lubricant for menopause for her and her partner.
Cast in a Negative Light
There is a negative light that halos females going through, and females who have been through menopause. They’re often seen as old, washed up, tired and moody. This representation is an extreme portrayal of a few symptoms that a women can experience, but does not necessarily have to go through.
As a woman, brush off the media’s notion of what menopause is like, and focus on how you can take advantage of the next step in your life. You’re in the age of wisdom, for goodness sake.
It’s a Normal Phase of Life
It’s just the next stage in a female’s life. Menopause is not an experience that random groups of women go through—every woman goes through menopause. Pregnancy and menopause can be relatively compared in terms of the intensity and number of symptoms.
Millions of women worldwide have experienced menopause before you, and millions of women after you will experience menopause, too. You should use this population to your advantage. Knowledge is very easy to obtain this day in age, and learning how other women have coped with feminine dryness can help you with your journey.
You are still the same woman you were before menopause. Don’t let this step change who you are, and don’t let it control you. Commit to being the best version of yourself and find your new favorite skincare item, hobby and workouts.
