No more periods
If you have had the family you desire, this surely has to be one of the biggest benefits of being post menopausal!
Periods can be a monthly nightmare. Heavy bleeding, painful cramps, and other symptoms can interfere with daily life, causing missed work or school days, canceled plans, and a general feeling of being unwell. Post-menopause, you no longer have to deal with these issues and can feel more in control of your body. You can wear what you want (!), do what you want, and feel more confident in your own skin.
Freedom from pregnancy worries
The freedom from pregnancy worries that comes with being post-menopausal can be life-changing for many. It can open up new opportunities for travel, career development, and personal growth.
For some, it can even improve relationships, as you no longer have to worry about birth control or the risk of an unplanned pregnancy. This newfound sense of freedom can also lead to a more fulfilling sex life, and you can explore new forms of intimacy and pleasure without the fear of pregnancy.
More time and energy
Post-menopause, you often find that you have more time and energy to pursue interests and passions.
This can be especially true for you if you've spent years caring for children, working full-time, or dealing with the physical and emotional toll of your menstrual cycles.
With no more periods to deal with, you can take up new hobbies, start a new exercise routine, or travel more often. This increased energy can also lead to improved mental health, as you may feel more productive, engaged, and fulfilled.
Improved health outcomes
After menopause, you may experience a range of health benefits. For example, the risk of oestrogen dependent cancers can decrease, as does the risk of developing uterine fibroids.
Typically, you may also experience a reduction in hot flashes, night sweats, and other menopausal symptoms, leading to a greater sense of comfort and well-being.
Wisdom and experience
My personal favourite & seriously underrated!
Post-menopause, we offer a wealth of knowledge and experience to younger generations and our wider community. You may have experienced significant life changes, such as marriage, divorce, parenting, or career changes, and can now offer invaluable insights and advice on how to navigate these challenges.
You are a role model, demonstrating resilience, adaptability, and a commitment to personal growth and development. This wisdom and experience can be incredibly valuable, both to individuals and to society as a whole.
