Menopause

Menopause is a natural life stage that marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. It happens when the ovaries gradually produce less estrogen and progesterone, leading to the cessation of periods. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. This transition can last for several years, often referred to as perimenopause. Menopause is not an illness but a normal part of aging, and while it can bring challenges, many women find ways to manage symptoms and maintain their well-being during this time.
