Menopause and perimenopause weight loss

Menopause marks the end of monthly periods, and it is confirmed after one year without having a period. Perimenopause refers to the period of time prior to the final stage of menopause and is marked by changing hormone levels. These stages come with symptoms like weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, and changes in metabolism. At Sehha Healing Center, we are here to provide you with the knowledge and guidance necessary to manage weight loss during menopause and perimenopause by integrating conventional medicine, the Quran, and Sunnah.

How do you identify if you are in menopause or perimenopause?

Some of the symptoms seen in perimenopausal women are irregular menstrual cycles, sudden hot flashes, night sweating, and increased abdominal weight. The menstruation period can be confirmed after one year of not occurring again. Recognizing these signs and seeking timely management is essential to maintain optimum health.

Menopause and Perimenopause Weight Gain Causes?

Weight gain during menopause and perimenopause is caused by hormonal changes, decreased metabolic rate, muscle mass loss, and lifestyle changes. Lower estrogen levels result in increased fat storage and a change in body fat distribution. Managing these factors is central to any task of managing obesity, and this realization leads to the control of obesity.
