What is menopause?

Menopause is a natural and inevitable phase in a woman’s life that marks the end of her reproductive years. It is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation and fertility, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. Menopause is triggered by the gradual decline in ovarian function, leading to reduced production of reproductive hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone.

 

During menopause, women may experience various physical and emotional symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Additionally, the hormonal changes associated with menopause can increase the risk of certain health conditions, including osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases.

What are the symptoms of Menopause?

Common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and irregular periods. Women may also experience decreased libido, weight gain, and changes in skin and hair. These symptoms are due to hormonal fluctuations as the ovaries cease to release eggs and produce reproductive hormones.
