Menopause is defined as the
time in a woman's life when cyclic menstrual periods stop occurring for 12
consecutive months. Menopause most commonly occurs in women at about 40-50 years
of age. During this time of change, the ovaries become less responsive to
hormonal stimulation, thereby significantly decreasing the body's hormonal
production.
This decreased hormonal
production usually manifests symptoms that vary in intensity and duration. Most
commonly, women experience hot flashes, fatigue, irritability, insomnia,
nervousness, night sweats, palpitations, loss of bladder control, low libido,
and vaginal dryness. In addition to these uncomfortable symptoms, other
conditions are exacerbated by hormonal deficiencies. Osteoporosis, Alzheimer's,
Heart Disease and High Cholesterol Levels can all be adversely affected.
