Menopause and Aging

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. It happens when the ovaries reduce hormone production, particularly estrogen, leading to the cessation of menstruation. This shift can cause symptoms like hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. Aging, on the other hand, refers to the broader, gradual physical and psychological changes that occur in the body over time. Both menopause and aging impact health but are normal aspects of life, influencing a woman’s physical and emotional well-being during this transition.
