Menopause
-
Menopause is the stage in women’s life when her ovaries permanently stop producing ova (eggs) and oestrogen (female hormone), and as a result menstruation ends. Menopause occurs naturally between the ages of 40 and 55.
Why does it happen?
Menopausal symptoms are caused by lack of oestrogen, the female hormone. It is the increasing shortage of progesterone (a corpus luteum hormone) which accounts for such disturbances. In some cases the first climacteric afflictions such as hot flushes and mood swings are likewise attributed to the onset of changes in the hormonal balance. The gradual decrease of the ovarian functions leads to a lack of oestrogens and progestagens. This shortage of hormones in turn affects the hormonal cycles because of failure in the feedback mechanisms.
What are the symptoms?
- Hot flushes, accompanied by tingling sensations.
