Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. It is characterized by the cessation of menstruation and a decline in hormone production, particularly estrogen and progesterone. This transition can lead to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and changes in sexual function. Menopause medicine focuses on managing these symptoms and improving quality of life through various approaches, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), non-hormonal medications, and lifestyle modifications. Understanding the treatment options available is essential for women navigating this significant life stage, enabling them to make informed decisions that support their health and well-being during menopause and beyond.
