Menopause Top Journals
Menopause, also referred to as the climacteric, is that the time in most women's lives when menstrual periods stop permanently, and that they are not any longer ready to bear children. Menopause typically occurs between 49 and 52 years aged. Medical professionals often define menopause as having occurred when a lady has not had any menstrual bleeding for a year. It may even be defined by a decrease in
hormone production by the ovaries. In those who have had
surgery to remove their uterus but still have ovaries, menopause may be considered to have occurred at the time of the
surgery or when their
hormone levels fell. Following the removal of the uterus, symptoms typically occur earlier, at a mean of 45 years aged. In the years before menopause, a woman's periods typically become irregular, which suggests that periods could also be longer or shorter in duration or be lighter or heavier within the amount of flow. During this point, women often experience hot flashes; these typically last from 30 seconds to 10 minutes and should be related to shivering, sweating, and reddening of the skin. Hot flashes often stop occurring after a year or two. Other symptoms may include vaginal dryness, trouble sleeping, and mood changes. The severity of symptoms varies between women. While menopause is usually thought to be linked to a rise in heart condition, this primarily occurs thanks to increasing age and doesn't have an immediate relationship with
menopause. In some women, problems that were present like
endometriosis or painful periods will improve after menopause.
