Overview
Menopause is a natural life stage when womens menstrual cycles permanently stop. It usually occurs between ages 45-55, and menopause is considered to have occurred 12 months after the last menstrual period.
The decrease in estrogen hormone levels during menopause causes various symptoms. Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, and mood changes are the most common complaints.
