Not Your Mother’s Menopause
Menopause is the time in a woman’s life when the ovarian production of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone begins to decline. Although menopause is medically defined as the time that a woman ceases to menstruate for a period of 12 months, the onset can occur up to ten years before that. Each woman is different; generally it occurs some time between the ages of 35 and 55. The Women’s Center recommends that all women should have their hormone levels checked by age 50. Long before a woman’s period has stopped, she has already noticed a change. Her periods become shorter and she notices a loss of energy, a decrease in strength and diminished libido. Her moods are changing: she may be more agitated, depressed, apathetic, and forgetful than normal. These are all symptoms of menopause.
Other symptoms of menopause:
• Hot flashes
• Night sweats
• Headaches
• Trouble sleeping
• Urinary incontinence
• Vaginal dryness, making intercourse painful
• Weight gain, especially in the abdomen, hips and thighs
