It’s time we understood menopause better
Menopause marks the transition from having a menstrual cycle to not having one. Menopause occurs when a woman hasn’t had a period for 12 consecutive months. This is followed by several years during which her body adapts to no longer having menstrual cycles. The roughly 4-10 years before this time is referred to as perimenopause, and the time after the onset of menopause is called postmenopause.
A study looking at the impacts menopause can have on quality of life found that women experiencing ten menopausal symptoms reported significantly lower levels of health-related quality of life and significantly higher work impairment.
Menopause can have profound effect on both quality of life and a woman’s earning and career potential. That’s why Embr Labs is dedicated to bringing a new wave of relief for menopausal women.
Stage 1
Perimenopause
Most women start feeling signs of perimenopause in their 40s, but some women notice signs as early as in their 30s.
When a woman experiences early menopause symptoms in her 30s, she could be entering perimenopause. This is the stage she begins to search for menopause symptom relief.
This stage is triggered when estrogen and progesterone levels become inconsistent.
Symptoms include:
● Unpredictable Menstral Cycles
● Fatigue/Low Energy
● Sleep Disruptions
● Weight Changes
● Brain Fog
● Anxiety
This stage can last 4–10 years.
Menopause
On average, women will hit the menopause stage at 51. Black and Latina women can experience menopause as much as two years earlier than white and Asian women.
Official menopause begins when a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a period.
During that time, if her period begins again, the timeline starts all over—often triggering a renewed search for menopause symptom relief.
Symptoms include:
● Hot Flashes
● Night Sweats
● Sleep Disruption
● Joint Pain
● Vaginal Dryness
● Brain Fog
● Headaches
● Mood changes
Postmenopause
The stage in which a woman's menstrual cycle has been absent for twelve consecutive months.
Hormone fluctuations stabilize but symptoms of menopause can persist. Because of the decrease in estrogen, women should be aware of long-term health risks associated with estrogen deprivation.
Things to look out for include:
● Bone Loss
● Cardiovascular Disease
● Muscle-Skeletal Weakness
● Vaginal Issues
● Sexual Issues
This stage sometimes lasts up to 30 years. Despite lingering symptoms, many women say these are the best years of their life.
We understand that:
Menopause can feel lonely.
Nearly half (49%) of women think that menopause is a taboo subject in the workplace. Their mothers didn’t talk with them about menopause symptoms. Their friends aren’t getting better answers from doctors. It can feel incredibly lonely — but you’re not alone.
Embr Labs is keeping the conversation going around menopause.
We understand that:
Menopause can feel confusing.
One survey of U.S. obstetrics and gynecology residents found that fewer than one in five OBGYNs receives formal training in menopause medicine. On top of that, the perimenopausal symptoms may be subtle, leaving women wondering, “Is there just something wrong with me?”
Embr Labs is keeping science and education around menopausal symptom relief at the forefront of our technology.
We understand that:
Menopause can feel debilitating.
The physical, mental, and emotional toll menopause takes can have real and serious impacts on women’s lives. Over a third (36%) of menopausal women have had to take time off work due to their symptoms. It can be easy to find yourself struggling with issues of self-esteem and self-worth.
