Menopause

What is Menopause?

Menopause signifies the cessation of ovulation and menstruation, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. Before menopause, women may experience perimenopausal symptoms. Additionally, certain medical treatments, such as those for cancer or endometriosis, can trigger menopause.

Impact of Menopause on Women

The hormonal fluctuations associated with menopause can lead to various symptoms including hot flushes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and weight gain. Moreover, menopause increases the risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular conditions like heart attack, heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. Sadly, many women suffer in silence or lack proper diagnosis and treatment, impacting their overall health and quality of life.
