MENOPAUSE

Menopause is a condition characterized by the inability to synthesize estrogen due to depletion of oocytes in ovaries. It is briefly defined as the absence of menstrual period for more than one year. Although the average age of menopause ranges from 45 to 55, it varies depending on personal and familial histories. Past surgeries may also play a role in the onset of the menopause.
 
Menopause is not a disease, but a natural phase in a woman's life. Having necessary examinations at regular intervals, getting correct information and active participation in decision-making process will help you experience the transition process easily and healthily.
 
Following complaints are common in this phase: Hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, sexual problems, urinary incontinence or urinary frequency problems, sleep problems and mood disorders.
