Menopause is an important natural biological process that all women experience as they age. It refers to the permanent end of menstruation and fertility, marking the transition out of a woman's reproductive years.
Typically, menopause happens between the ages of 45-55. As a woman reaches menopause, her body produces lower levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This signals the ovaries to stop releasing eggs every month, leading to the end of her periods.
Common symptoms of menopause include:
The transition can begin a few years before the final menstrual period when a woman starts experiencing periomenopause. The years leading up to menopause are a time of hormonal fluctuations that can last even after, until the body adjusts to lower hormone levels.
While menopause marks the end of fertility, women can still lead rich, fulfilling, and healthy lives. However, managing symptoms is important during this transition. Lifestyle measures like avoiding triggers, layering clothing, consuming soy, and practicing stress relief techniques can provide relief. For more severe symptoms, low-dose antidepressants, vaginal estrogen, or hormone therapy may be options under a doctor's supervision.
