Menopause is a natural stage of life in which menstruation permanently ends as ovarian hormone production declines. It most commonly occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although the age of onset can vary from woman to woman. During menopause, changes in estrogen levels may lead to a range of physical and emotional symptoms. One of the most common symptoms of menopause is menstrual irregularity. Periods may become less frequent, more frequent, or change in the amount of bleeding during the years leading up to menopause. Hot flashes and night sweats are also among the most common symptoms. Hormonal changes may cause sleep problems, fatigue, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes in some women. Psychological symptoms such as irritability, restlessness, or increased emotional sensitivity may also occur. During menopause, some women may experience vaginal dryness, discomfort during sexual intercourse, changes in sexual desire, and certain urinary symptoms. In the long term, decreased bone density may also increase the risk of osteoporosis. Every woman experiences menopause differently, and the severity of symptoms can vary from person to person. Women experiencing symptoms that negatively affect their daily lives are encouraged to consult an obstetrics and gynecology specialist. Following a medical evaluation, the underlying causes can be assessed and personalized lifestyle recommendations or treatment options can be considered.
