Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, typically occurring in the late 40s to early 50s. It is officially diagnosed after a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period. Menopause results from a decline in the ovaries’ production of reproductive hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal change can lead to various physical symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances, as well as emotional symptoms including mood swings and irritability. Long-term effects of decreased estrogen levels include an increased risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. The experience of menopause can vary widely among women, and treatments are available that can alleviate symptoms and manage the health risks associated with this stage, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes, and supportive therapies.
