Menopause – Natural, Not a Defect
The actual menopause – medically defined in retrospect as the time of the last menstrual period – usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. However, many symptoms such as hot flushes, depressive moods, sleep disturbances, weight gain, palpitations or digestive problems go far beyond the hormonal.
This is where the holistic approach to health at Park Igls comes into play: not every symptom is “just” hormonal – stress, diet, changes in the microbiome, and psychosocial factors often play a key role.
Recognising Perimenopause
When Menopause Begins Quietly
What many women don’t realise: hormonal changes begin long before the final cycle. From the age of 30, the “hormonal symphony” begins to shift, as Dr Sybille Matzenauer, Mayr physician at Park Igls, puts it. This phase is known as perimenopause – and it is often accompanied by subtle but distressing symptoms: sleep disturbances, anxiety, irritability, irregular cycles, exhaustion.
Women in midlife – professionally active, challenged by family responsibilities – often don’t expect these symptoms. Many only start looking for answers later on. An extended hormone lab, combined with a structured case history, can offer early guidance here.

Menopause
A New Centre, Not an Ending
Our society often portrays ageing in terms of loss. Yet it is precisely now that new sources of strength can be discovered: greater calm, more awareness, new priorities. Women who take new paths at Park Igls often speak of a stronger sense of self, a new approach to nutrition, exercise, daily rhythm – and to womanhood itself.
