Menopause
Menopause is a normal transition in every woman’s life when she stops having menstruation and can no longer be become pregnant. This happens when the ovaries stop making estrogen- the ‘feminine hormone’. A woman is said to have reached menopause when she has not had any period for 12 months in a row. The symptoms of menopause usually begin several years before the actual stopping of periods, and this is known as perimenopause. This phase is marked by irregular periods.
What are the common symptoms of menopause?
Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, weight gain especially around the tummy, hair-fall, joint aches, palpitations and sleep problems. The severity of symptoms vary and some women have little or no symptoms at all. However, an annual visit should be scheduled by all women after menopause because it is a part of ageing process and special care is required thereafter.
