HLA San Carlos Hospital in Dénia emphasizes the significance of social and family support for women going through menopause. According to psychologist Jessica Sanchis, this life stage can be experienced in various ways, from natural acceptance to concern about physical changes or loss of fertility.

Menopause marks the end of menstruation and reproductive capacity, with a decrease in estrogen and progesterone production. These hormonal changes can lead to mood disturbances, such as irritability, sadness, anxiety, increased sensitivity, or difficulty concentrating, as well as sleep disturbances that heighten fatigue.

While menopause itself does not cause severe psychological disorders, it can predispose individuals with prior history or stressful situations to episodes of anxiety or depression. Open communication about feelings and experiences with other women, along with understanding from their environment, are effective tools for reducing emotional distress.

Maintaining healthy habits such as physical exercise, a balanced diet, adequate rest, and relaxation techniques also significantly contribute to psychological well-being. Psychological therapy offers strategies to manage these changes, strengthen self-esteem, and facilitate adaptation to this new phase.

HLA San Carlos hospital provides a specialized psychology service for women, addressing needs across different life stages, including menopause, with the aim of promoting a positive outlook and enhanced quality of life.
