What is menopause?
Menopause is the time in a woman's life
when her period stops and she can no longer become pregnant. It is a normal
change in a woman's body. A woman will know she has reached menopause when
she has not had a period for 12 months in a row (and there are no other
causes, such as pregnancy or illness, for this change). This happens for
most women after age 45.
Menopause is sometimes called, "the change
of life." In the years leading up to menopause, a woman’s ovaries slowly
make less and less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. You might
not be aware of the changes happening in your body. Or, you might have
symptoms as you near menopause. Many women wonder if these symptoms are
normal, and many are confused about how to treat their symptoms.
You will feel better by learning all you
can about menopause and talking with your doctor about your health and
your symptoms. If your symptoms are causing you discomfort or concern,
your doctor can teach you about treatment options and help you to make
wise choices.
What are the symptoms
of menopause?
Menopause affects every woman differently.
Your only symptom may be your period stopping. You may have other symptoms,
too. Many  symptoms
at this time of life happen because you are getting older. But some are
due to menopause. It’s not always possible to tell if symptoms are related
to aging, menopause, or both. Some changes you might notice as you near
menopause include:
•Change in pattern of periods (They can
be shorter or longer, lighter or heavier, or there may be more or less
time between periods.)
•Hot flashes (sometimes called hot flushes),
night sweats (sometimes followed by a chill)
•Trouble sleeping through the night (with
or without night sweats)
•Vaginal dryness
•Mood swings, feeling crabby, or crying
spells
•Trouble focusing, "fuzzy thinking," or
forgetfulness
•Hair loss or thinning on your head or
more hair growth on your face
