CONDITION
What is Menopause?
Menopause marks the permanent end of menstrual cycles, typically occurring in women in their 40s or 50s. It is diagnosed after 12 months without a period and due to Hormonal Imbalance, can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and sleep disturbances due to fluctuating hormone levels. Menopause is a natural biological process, though it often brings uncomfortable symptoms that can affect daily life.
CAUSES
What causes Menopause?
Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing estrogen and progesterone, leading to the end of menstrual cycles. This hormonal change is a natural part of aging, but factors like genetics, smoking, and certain medical treatments can affect the onset and severity of menopause symptoms. For some women, this transition causes hormonal imbalance and can lead to an increased risk of Osteoporosis and Cardiovascular issues.
