What is menopause?
Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing hormones, resulting in the absence of menstrual periods for 12 months. After menopause, a woman’s menstrual cycle becomes irregular. It is a natural part of aging, occurring around age 51 and marking the end of reproductive years. Perimenopause is the period of time before menopause when women may experience changes in their menstrual cycles or symptoms such as hot flashes. The process is gradual and occurs in three stages.
What are the symptoms of menopause?
Following are the symptoms a woman experiences when undergoing menopause:
- Urinary urgency
- Difficulty sleeping
- Hot flashes
- Night sweats and/or cold flashes
- Vaginal dryness
- Breast tenderness
- Changes in menstrual periods
- Racing heart, headaches, joint, and muscle aches
- Emotional changes
- Changes in libido, difficulty concentrating, memory lapses
- Weight gain, hair loss, or thinning
- Dry skin, dry eyes, or dry mouth
Causes of menopause
Menopausal symptoms are caused by changes in hormone levels, particularly a decrease in estrogen production as part of the natural aging process. Menopause is defined as a year without menstrual bleeding and occurs when the ovaries produce less estrogen, leading to irregular periods and eventually their cessation. The physical changes experienced during menopause are the body’s adaptations to the shifting hormone levels during perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause stages.
Treatment options for menopause
Here are the key treatment options for menopause:
- Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, depression, aches and pains in the muscles and joints, and a general lack of interest in sexual activity are all symptoms that can be alleviated with hormone replacement therapy, which involves the use of estrogen and occasionally progesterone.
- Modifications to One’s Lifestyle: Symptoms like night sweats and hot flashes can be better managed with regular aerobic exercise like swimming and running, as well as low-intensity exercises like yoga.
- Herbal remedies such as St. John’s wort, black cohosh, and isoflavones (soya products) can alleviate night sweats and hot flashes for certain women; however, weighing the benefits of these remedies against any potential side effects or drug interactions is important.
- Medication That Does Not Affect Hormone Levels: Clonidine, an antihypertensive drug, can lessen the severity of hot flashes and night sweats without altering hormone levels.
- Vaginal Estrogen: Tablets, creams, or rings containing estrogen can help with vaginal dryness and pain without affecting the bloodstream.
