Understanding Menopause: A Journey of Changes
Menopause, typically occurring in a woman's late 40s to early 50s, marks the end of her menstrual cycles. This transition is characterized by a decrease in estrogen and progesterone production, leading to a range of symptoms that can vary in severity and duration.
Common Symptoms of Menopause:
Hot Flashes: Sudden feelings of warmth, often accompanied by sweating and a rapid heartbeat.
Night Sweats: Similar to hot flashes but occurring during sleep, leading to disrupted rest.
Mood Swings: Fluctuations in mood, from irritability to sadness or anxiety.
Vaginal Dryness: Resulting from decreased estrogen, leading to discomfort during intercourse.
Sleep Disturbances: Difficulty falling or staying asleep, often due to night sweats or hormonal changes.
