Menopause

Menopause is the end of your menstrual cycle. The changes you go through right before or right after your menstrual cycle ends, signifying the end of your reproductive years, are commonly referred to by this phrase.

Overview


Menopause occurs naturally in most women between the ages of 45 and 55 due to biological aging. The permanent cessation of menstruation that occurs naturally and is not brought on by medical intervention is known as menopause. There are three phases to the progressive process: 


The term "perimenopause" or "menopause transition" refers to the period eight to ten years before menopause during which your ovaries progressively start to release less estrogen. It usually begins in your forties. Menopause which occurs when your ovaries cease producing egg, follows perimenopause. The decline in estrogen accelerates in the last one to two years of perimenopause. Many people may be experiencing menopause symptoms at this point. However, you can still become pregnant during this time and still have menstrual cycles. 


Menopause: The end of menstruation is known as the menopause. Your ovaries have finished producing most of their estrogen and are no longer releasing eggs. When you have missed your monthly cycle for 12 months in a row, a medical professional will diagnose you with menopause. The period following a year without a period (or the remainder of your life following menopause) is known as Postmenopause. Menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes may improve during this phase. Nonetheless, a decade or more following the menopause transition, some women still have menopausal symptoms. People in the postmenopausal phase are more susceptible to many health issues, including osteoporosis and heart disease, due to a decreased estrogen level.



Causes


  • Menopause is marked for the majority of women by the cessation of monthly menstruation (also known as a menstrual period or 'period') due to ovarian follicular function decrease. In other words, the ovaries cease producing eggs for fertilization. 

  • In the absence of professional intervention and after 12 consecutive months without menstruation for which there is no other apparent physiological or pathological cause, the menopause is considered to have occurred naturally. 

  • Menopause occurs earlier in life for certain women (before 40 years of age). There are a few chromosomal abnormalities, autoimmune diseases, and other unidentified factors that could be causing this 'premature menopause'. 

  • Menopause can occur at any time in a woman's life, while there are correlations between age at menopause and other genetic health and demographic factors. 

  • Moreover, medical treatments that stop ovarian function such as chemotherapy radiation therapy or surgical operations involving the removal of both ovaries might induce menopause. 

  • Many women such as those who have undergone hysterectomy or surgical removal of their uterine lining as well as those who use hormonal contraceptives and other medications that result in irregular or nonexistent periods have already stopped menstruating before reaching menopause. They might yet go through more menopausal transition-related changes.


Symptoms


Menopause-related hormonal changes can have an impact on one's social mental emotional and physical health. Individual differences in the symptoms during and after the menopausal transition are significant. Some exhibit very little or no symptoms. Others may experience severe symptoms that interfere with day-to-day activities and quality of life. Some people may not get symptoms for several years. 

  • Menopausal symptoms can include nocturnal sweats and hot flashes.

  • Changes in the regularity and flow of the menstrual cycle, which ends in cessation of menstruation
