Understanding Menopause

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles. It typically occurs in women around the ages of 45 to 55, with the average age of onset being 51. During menopause, hormone levels fluctuate and eventually decline, leading to a cessation of menstrual periods and various physical and emotional changes.

Symptoms of Menopause

Common symptoms of menopause may include:

• Hot Flashes and Night Sweats: Sudden feelings of warmth, often accompanied by sweating, particularly at night.

• Mood Changes: Mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and feelings of sadness or depression.

• Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty sleeping or disrupted sleep patterns.

• Vaginal Dryness: Reduced vaginal lubrication, leading to discomfort during intercourse.

• Changes in Libido: Decreased interest in sex or changes in sexual response.
