Synopsis of Menopause

Menopause is the natural biological transition marking the end of a woman's reproductive years, defined as having no menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months due to a decline in ovarian hormone production, primarily estrogen and progesterone. Most women experience menopause between ages 45 and 55, with perimenopause (the transition phase) beginning several years earlier.

Menopause is a normal life stage, not a disease, but it can bring a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms due to hormonal shifts, which vary in severity and duration.

Common symptoms include:

• Hot flashes and night sweats

• Irregular periods (during perimenopause)

• Vaginal dryness and discomfort

• Mood swings, anxiety, or depression

• Sleep disturbances and fatigue

• Reduced libido

• Difficulty concentrating ("brain fog")

• Joint pain or stiffness

• Thinning hair and dry skin

Long-term health concerns associated with menopause:

• Increased risk of osteoporosis

• Higher likelihood of cardiovascular disease

• Changes in metabolism and body composition

When to see a doctor:
While menopause doesn’t require treatment, seek help if symptoms are severe, persistent, or affect quality of life. Hormone testing may confirm menopause, and treatments like hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes, or natural remedies can help manage symptoms.
