Menopause

Menopause is a naturally occurring biological process that marks the permanent end of a woman's reproductive cycle. It is typically experienced in their mid to late 40s or early 50s, and signals the end of menstrual cycles and fertility. Although menopause is a natural process, its effects can range from mild to severe and can have a major impact on a woman's quality of life. Common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Treatment options for these symptoms may include hormone therapy, lifestyle modifications, and non-hormonal medications. All women experiencing menopause should be aware of the potential physical and psychological effects, and speak to their doctor if they are concerned.
