Menopause, Perimenopause, its Symptoms & Treatment

Menopause: The End of Monthly Periods

Menopause is a normal part of aging where a woman's menstrual cycles permanently stop, marking the end of her ability to have children.

Defining Menopause:

It signals the conclusion of a woman's childbearing years.
Doctors confirm menopause when a woman hasn't had a period for a full year.
The time before menopause, when hormones start to change, is called perimenopause.
What Causes Menopause:

The main reason is the ovaries naturally slowing down, producing less estrogen and progesterone.
Menopause can also happen due to:
Surgery to remove the ovaries.
Cancer treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
Common Changes During Menopause:

Experiences differ, but typical symptoms include:
Sudden feelings of heat (hot flashes) and night sweats.
Changes in period regularity.
Dryness in the vaginal area.
Trouble sleeping.
Shifts in mood.
Changes in sex drive.
Problems with urination.
Timing of Menopause:

Most women experience natural menopause around age 51, though it can happen in the 40s or 50s.
Menopause before 45 is considered early, and before 40 is premature.
Health Risks After Menopause:

After menopause, women face a higher risk of:
Weakening of the bones (osteoporosis).
Heart and blood vessel problems (cardiovascular disease).
Dealing with Menopause Symptoms:

There are ways to ease menopausal symptoms, including:
Hormone replacement therapy.
Healthy lifestyle choices (diet, exercise, stress relief).
Medicines for specific symptoms.
