Menopause and hormonal changes

Menopause is a natural biological process that occurs in women, typically between 45 and 55 years of age, marking the end of menstrual cycles and fertility. It is triggered by a decline in the production of hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone, by the ovaries. This hormonal shift can lead to various symptoms, including hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. Some women may also experience vaginal dryness and changes in libido. Menopause is a normal phase of life, and its symptoms can vary widely; many women seek support and treatment to manage these changes effectively.
