Menopause - Balance Hormone Clinic

What is menopause?

Menopause is a natural biological process that all women experience as they age. It refers to the end of a woman's menstrual cycles and her fertile phase.

The key things to know about menopause:

• It typically occurs between the ages of 45-55 years. The average age is 51.
• It is diagnosed after a woman has gone 12 months without a menstrual period.
• Common symptoms leading up to and during menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and more.
• During menopause, a woman's estrogen levels decline rapidly while follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels rise. This signals the end of the reproductive years.

The transition through menopause is different for every woman. Some breeze through it with minimal discomfort while others experience more disruptive symptoms. Lifestyle choices and medical history play a role.
