What Is Menopause?

Most women enter menopause between the age of 45–55 and experience a variety of physical symptoms. So what is menopause and what can you expect during this transitional time of your life?

Menopause is the point in a woman’s life where she has stopped menstruating for 12 months. Menopause happens when a woman’s estrogen level drops and the ovaries stop releasing eggs every month.

Perimenopause

Before menopause, a woman goes through a menopausal transition or perimenopause, that could last anywhere between 7 to 14 years. The individual will start to experience hormonal fluctuations and the associated physical symptoms.

Post-Menopause

After menopause, a woman enters post-menopause. While most of the symptoms (e.g., hot flashes) would subside, the individual is also more vulnerable to heart disease and osteoporosis.

Hysterectomy

In addition, menopause can be induced by hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the ovaries.
