clinical menopause

Clinical menopause refers to the natural biological process when a woman's ovaries stop producing hormones, leading to the end of menstrual cycles. This typically occurs between ages 45 and 55 and involves a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. While menopause is a normal stage in life, its symptoms can vary in intensity and duration. It's important for women to consult healthcare providers to manage symptoms and discuss health implications associated with this transition, such as osteoporosis and heart health.
