Menopause is a three-stage transition in a woman's reproduction cycle. A woman's menses (period) comes to an end, and she loses her ability to reproduce.
Pre-menopause is the first-stage of the transition. Women exhibit many symptoms. During this stage, which usually onsets five years prior to menopause, the ovaries begin to produce lower amounts of estrogen.
Menopause is the second-stage. When the ovaries are completely depleted of eggs, the estrogen levels plummet to an all time low, thereby unable to produce a period.
Post-menopause is the final-stage of menopause. When a woman has gone a full cycle of twelve months without a period, it can be said that she is in final stage of menopause.
No longer are the ovaries able to produce sufficient amounts of estrogen; however, male hormones, called androgens, are produced.
The male hormones account for the secondary male characteristics often seen in post-menopausal women, such as facial hair.
Symptoms
Hot Flashes Account for the most common symptom of menopause. Three thirds of all women experience hot flashes for months, years, or not at all.
When a woman is experiencing a hot flash, the skin becomes red and breaks out in a sweat; they can last half a minute to five minutes.
Irritability Because of the ongoing process of hormonal changes, many women will experience mood changes. Among theses emotional changes is an increased irritability.
It must be noted that not all women experience mood changes.
Tinnitus Many women report an increased ringing in the ears, tinnitus. The sounds do not come from outside of the body.
Bleeding Gums Because of the lower levels of estrogen, women experience changes in the oral cavity, bleeding gums being of these.
Mood Swings The fluctuating levels of estrogen and androgens during and after menopause cause many women to experience mood swings. Many describe the transition as an emotional roller coaster.
Dry Vaginal Canal The lower levels of estrogen may cause the vaginal canal to become unusually dry, especially during intercourse. The lining of the vaginal walls becomes thinner, less flexible and susceptible to infection.
Weakening of the bones Women are more susceptible than men to osteoporosis because of menopause. Bone weakening is a normal part of aging. However, when women are going through menopause, the rate at which the bones lose their strength and density decreases. When the bones become so fragile that they fracture easily, the condition is known as osteoporosis.
It is recommended that women strengthen their bones through diet, supplements, and exercise to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Heart Attacks/Strokes Estrogen is plays a vital role in protecting women against heart failure. Naturally, after the production of the hormone decreases because menopause, the risk for stroke increases.
Loss of Sex Drive Hormonal fluctuations of estrogen and testosterone cause sex drive to plummet in women. However, hormone therapy can usually increase sex drive in most women.
