What Is Menopause?
Menopause is a natural sign of aging, and most women will start to experience it anywhere between the age of 44 to 55 years old. In the early stages, you may notice that your periods start to become less frequent. For some women, they can suddenly stop altogether. Menopause not only stops your periods, but it also means a woman can no longer become pregnant naturally.
As women get older, their oestrogen levels decline, which can bring on menopause. In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach menopause is 51. Most women will have an experience with menopause at some point in their lives.
What Causes Menopause?
Menopause is most likely to occur as you grow older. Your body starts to experience a change in the balance of sex hormones. This affects a woman’s ability to naturally get pregnant as her ovaries stop producing as much oestrogen. As a result, you no longer have the capability of releasing one egg each month.
Menopause can also occur as a result of several different treatments. Surgery to remove ovaries, breast cancer treatments, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy can all contribute.
Although menopause typically occurs as you get older, younger women can experience it too. This is known as premature or early menopause. It can occur at any age, and in most cases, there is no clear cause that can be identified.
Menopause Symptoms
The symptoms of menopause can differ from person to person, and every woman’s menopause experience is unique to them. For some, symptoms may be a lot more severe, typically this would happen when menopause occurs suddenly or over a short period of time. Other health conditions like breast cancer or a hysterectomy can also increase the severity of your symptoms.
Typically, if you are going through the early stages of menopause, you may experience symptoms such as:
- Less frequent menstruation
- Heavier or lighter periods than you are used to
- Hot flashes and flushing
- Insomnia
- Vaginal dryness
- Weight gain
- Headaches
- Hair thinning
