Menopausal? See a midwife! Find a midwife and benefit from their support!

Midwives support women in caring for their health at every stage of life – including the perimenopausal period.

In 2025, the Kulczyk Foundation, under the patronage of the Ministry of Health, in partnership with the Supreme Council of Nurses and Midwives, and under the supervision of the National Consultant in Gynecological and Obstetric Nursing, conducted the first pilot training course for midwives: "Counseling during Menopausal Transition."

MORE ABOUT THE COURSE? » read here «

As a result of this course, dozens of midwives updated their knowledge about menopause and its impact on physical and mental health, and expanded their knowledge and skills in providing effective emotional and psychological support to women during the menopausal transition. They have therefore gained new competencies to support women and conduct menopausal consultations.

We hope that thanks to this initiative, more midwives will soon have the opportunity to complete similar courses, improve their qualifications, and thus support women during the menopausal transition.

To make it easier for Polish women to find contact information for their nearest midwife trained to support women during the menopause, we are providing a map that will help you find the right midwife and benefit from her support.

    Answer the question: 1/7

    How old are you?

    It is generally accepted that perimenopause, a period beginning with the first symptoms of impending menopause, may begin around age 40, up to 12 months after the last menstrual period. In Poland, the average age of women experiencing menopause (last menstrual period) is 51. If menopause occurs between the ages of 40 and 45, it is considered early menopause. If it occurs before age 40, it is called primary ovarian insufficiency (POI).

    How would you describe your periods?

    In the early menopausal transition, cycle lengths vary by more than seven days. When monthly bleeding is interrupted for at least 60 days, this is considered late menopause. If vaginal bleeding occurs after menopause, meaning after more than a year without a period, you should consult a doctor.

    Is your skin drier now, feeling tight, irritated, or itchy?

    Declining estrogen levels during perimenopause trigger a cascade of events in the skin. The sebaceous glands stop producing a protective layer of sebum. Without this lipid layer, the skin becomes dry and prone to irritation. Allergies to cosmetics, itching, and tightness may occur.

    Reduced estrogen levels during menopause affect thermoregulation, hence hot flashes. These are sudden waves of heat that spread across the upper body. The skin sweats and becomes flushed, and red blotches may appear on the face and décolleté. The heart may beat faster and blood pressure may rise, which can lead to feelings of anxiety. Hot flashes can last several minutes and can end with a feeling of cold or even chills.

    Have you experienced sleep problems (difficulty falling asleep, waking up during the night)?

    Perimenopause can be associated with sleep disturbances. Difficulty falling asleep or waking up during the night are the first symptoms of hormonal changes for many people. Nighttime hot flashes are an additional sleep disruption.

    Have you recently noticed more severe mood swings than usual (not caused by difficult events)? Do you get angry more easily, are irritated by things you previously ignored, become depressed, cry more often, or feel like doing nothing?

    The decline in hormone levels during perimenopause affects our well-being. Irritability, anger, decreased patience, sadness, and frequent mood swings can also worsen our moods. Some typical menopausal symptoms can also worsen our moods, such as trouble sleeping, constant fatigue, or hot flashes. Even a single symptom of the menopausal transition is enough to cause us to behave differently than before. Mood swings become a problem when we don't see any underlying causes that can be linked to the sudden change in attitude.

    Have your weight and waist circumference increased even though you have not changed your eating habits or activity?

    During perimenopause, as estrogen levels decline, the body becomes more susceptible to metabolic changes, accumulating fat more readily around the abdomen. With age, we also gradually lose muscle tissue, which physiologically requires more energy than fat tissue. We can eat and exercise as usual, but body composition changes unfavorably, and body weight increases. Between the ages of 40 and 60, women gain an average of 10 kg.
