Menopause

Menopause is defined as the stoppage of the menstrual cycle permanently. It can be stated as menopause if the menstrual periods stopped over a year. It can be usually seen at the age between 49 and 52 years. Menopause is due to decreased hormone production by the ovaries. It can also be seen in the surgical condition like removal of the uterus. The symptoms experienced during menopause include hot flashes, vaginal atrophy, and sweating, vaginal dryness and increased heart rate. Endometriosis may also progress into menopause. The main factors which causes menopause include progression of age, premature ovarian failure and surgical menopause which include oophorectomy (surgical removal of ovaries).
