Understanding Menopause and Its Effects

Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through, marking the end of menstrual cycles and fertility. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anytime between the ages of 40-55.

As estrogen levels decline during perimenopause and after menopause, women may experience various symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and more. These can significantly impact quality of life. Estrogen deficiency after menopause also leads to accelerated bone loss, increasing risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures.
