A natural transition
The Transition: A New Phase
From April 7th to 11th, it is the Week of the Transition. A beautiful moment to reflect on a life phase that every woman goes through, but one that does not always receive enough attention. The transition is more than just a physical change. It is a period of new insights, challenges, and opportunities to rediscover yourself.
However, this phase can be tough and come with symptoms that significantly affect daily life – both at home and at work.
The Impact of Menopause on Work
In the Netherlands, there are 1.9 million working women between the ages of 40 and 65. A staggering 80 percent of them experience menopausal symptoms, ranging from mild to very severe. Research by TNO shows that 7 out of 10 women suffer from symptoms that affect their work. However, the connection between these symptoms and menopause is not always recognized, and there is still sometimes a taboo around discussing it. This is a shame because by being open about it and providing support, women can navigate through this phase better and continue their work with more energy.
Acupuncture as Support
If you are looking for ways to feel better during this phase, acupuncture is something to consider. Within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menopause is seen as a period in which the body needs to adjust to finding a new balance. Acupuncture can help you navigate this transition well. Women who have tried acupuncture often notice that they sleep better, have more energy, and feel emotionally more stable.
The transition deserves attention
Every woman experiences the transition in her own way. For some, it passes almost unnoticed, while for others, it has a significant impact. That is precisely why it is important to talk openly about it – at home, at work, and with healthcare providers. The Menopause Week is the perfect moment to create space for this.
