Menopause is a part of the normal aging process, which refers to the termination of your monthly periods and marks the cessation of your fertility. You can have menopause around the late 40s to early 50s. It occurs due to the decreased production of female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone by the ovaries, so in people with surgical removal of ovaries, menopause occurs earlier than the normal age limit. Changes in the hormone levels tend to happen months before the actual cessation of bleeding, which is associated with symptoms like irregular bleeding, vaginal dryness, hot flushes, sleep disturbance, mood disorders, etc. Lifestyle changes and several treatment options are available to control these symptoms.
