Menopause
About the disease & condition
Menopause is a natural biological stage marking the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. It is diagnosed after twelve consecutive months without menstruation. Hormonal changes, particularly declining estrogen levels, cause various physical and emotional symptoms. While menopause is not a disease, it can significantly affect quality of life. Proper medical guidance, lifestyle adjustments, and supportive care can help women manage symptoms comfortably.
