Menopause

What Is Menopause?

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. During menopause, the ovaries stop producing hormones like estrogen and progesterone, leading to a range of physical and emotional symptoms. These can include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and changes in bone density. While menopause is a normal part of aging, it can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life due to the hormonal changes involved. Managing these symptoms is key to maintaining health and comfort during this transition.
