What is Menopause?

Menopause, or its medical term as the climacteric, is a natural and normal part of aging in most women's lives when the menstruation process stops permanently, and they are no longer able to reproduce children.

When does Menopause Happen?

Generally, menopause can happen in the age of 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in the United States. Medical experts often describe menopause occurs when a woman has not had any vaginal bleeding for 365 days. It is defined as the decrease of hormonal levels in production by the ovaries.

In some cases, menopause occurs early and happens before the age of 40 which is called premature menopause. While between the age of 40 and 45 is called early menopause, and about 5 percent of women experience it. There are several factors that can cause menopause to come earlier than expected such as chromosome defects like Turner syndrome, autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, smoking, genetics, and epilepsy, as well as surgery.

What are its Common Symptoms?

Before the onset of menopause, a woman’s menstruation becomes irregular, meaning the period duration may be shorter or longer, or heavier or lighter in the amount of flow. Women would be experiencing hot flashes that last 30 seconds to ten minutes long, with skin reddening, shivering and sweating. Hot flashes usually last and stop after a year or two. Other notable symptoms include mood swings, trouble sleeping, and dryness in the vagina.

What are the Treatments for Menopause?

Menopause requires no medical treatment, otherwise, focus treatment on relieving the symptoms. Hot flashes treatment can be done by avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and smoking, or practical sleeping using a fan or in a cool room may help.

Some medications may help such as Gabapentin (Neurontin, Gralise, others), Clonidine (Catapres, Kapvay, others), menopausal hormone therapy(MHT), bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), and medications to prevent or treat osteoporosis.
