Conclusion
Menopause, which signifies the end of fertility, is the natural termination or ending of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Menopause typically occurs in women at the age of 52, however, it can occur suddenly earlier in life due to pelvic or ovarian injury. Early menopause may also be caused by underlying diseases or genetics.
In the few years leading up to menopause, many women experience menopause symptoms, most frequently hot flashes, nocturnal sweats, and flushing. After menopause, symptoms can last for four or more years.
If your symptoms are severe or have a negative impact on your quality of life, you might benefit from treatment such as hormone therapy. Menopause symptoms can typically be controlled or lessened with natural treatments and lifestyle changes.
