What is Menopause?
Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months, marking the end of ovarian function and natural estrogen production. Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, although some may experience early or premature menopause before the age of 40.
Hormonal changes during menopause affect not only reproductive health, but also bone density, cardiovascular health, mood, cognition, metabolism, and intimate health.
What Causes of Menopause? Understanding Hormonal Changes in Women
Menopause occurs when the ovaries gradually reduce the production of estrogen and progesterone. Contributing factors may include:
• Natural aging
• Surgical removal of ovaries
• Chemotherapy or radiotherapy
• Autoimmune conditions
• Genetic predisposition
These hormonal changes can impact bone strength, heart health, skin quality, brain function, and overall vitality.
What Are Symptoms of The Menopause?
• Hot flashes & night sweats
• Vaginal dryness & painful intercourse
• Sleep disturbances & insomnia
• Mood changes, anxiety & low mood
• Brain fog & concentration problems
• Low libido
• Joint & muscle aches
• Weight gain & metabolic changes
What Are The Symptoms of Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the transitional phase before menopause, often starting several years earlier. During this stage, estrogen levels fluctuate, leading to irregular cycles and early menopause symptoms.
Common perimenopause symptoms include:
• Irregular or missed periods
• Sleep problems
• Breast tenderness
• Hot flashes
• Vaginal dryness
• Mood swings & emotional sensitivity
• Weight changes
• Hair thinning & skin dryness
Post Menopause Symptoms
Because menstruation occurs on a monthly basis (between 28 and 32 days on average), a woman is considered post-menopausal if she has not menstruated for more than 12 months. While menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes subside during this stage, the health risks associated with estrogen deficiency can worsen as you age.
Among the latter signs of menopause are:
-
Muscle pain
-
Loss Hair
-
Headaches
-
Joint aches
-
Depression
-
Concentration
-
Palpitations
-
Exhaustion
Postmenopause & Long-Term Health Risks
Because menstruation occurs on a monthly basis (between 28 and 32 days on average), a woman is considered post-menopausal if she has not menstruated for more than 12 months.
How Long Do Menopause Symptoms Last?
For most women, menopause symptoms last between 2 to 7 years. Duration varies depending on genetics, hormone levels, lifestyle, and medical history. Early assessment and personalized treatment can significantly reduce symptom severity and duration.
Risk of Premature Menopause (Early Menopause)?
You are likely to experience menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. In addition, there is an increased chance of acquiring osteoporosis and cardiac problems later in life. If left untreated, osteoporosis can result in shattered bones. Premature menopause will have an impact on your fertility and chances of getting pregnant.
Regular screenings such as mammograms may be recommended by your healthcare practitioner, as well as extra examinations such as blood tests, colonoscopy, triglyceride screening, thyroid test, and pelvic evaluations. If you are having menopausal symptoms before the age of 45, you should consult a doctor. A blood test to determine your hormone levels may be required to rule out any other underlying issues. You can book an appointment for Dr. Kubra Altintas to avoid risks of menopause period.
