Menopause Treatment in Hyderabad | Dr. Sahithi Balmuri

Menopause occurs when a woman has gone twelve months without having a menstrual cycle. The average age for a woman to enter menopause is 51, but it can happen earlier or later. Perimenopause and postmenopause are the two phases of menopause. These two stages of menopause are discussed more below.

Menopause is not an abrupt shift. Perimenopause refers to the years preceding menopause. Each woman's experience is unique, and it might last up to seven years or as little as a few months.

The ovaries generate less oestrogen and fewer eggs during the transitional perimenopause period. During this time, it is also typical for periods to become less regular. Perimenopause usually begins in the mid-40s for women, however it can begin as early as the mid-30s. Even if their periods are less frequent, women can still become pregnant during perimenopause.

Only when a woman has gone a year without having a period does she enter menopause or postmenopause. After twelve months without a period, the body generates very little oestrogen and the uterine lining thins out. A woman can no longer become pregnant at this stage.

Menopause symptoms begin in the perimenopause period and progress through menopause and postmenopause. During this period, a woman's body progressively changes, and the symptoms may be more or less evident depending on your body's response to the changes.

Symptoms of Perimenopause

Women in perimenopause may experience changes in their bodies and routines prior to menopause. These changes are caused by the ovaries producing less oestrogen. Perimenopausal symptoms include:

• Periods of greater or lesser intensity
• Flashes of heat
• Insomnia
• Time between periods can be increased or decreased
• Swings in mood
• Sweating at night
• Changes in urination (incontinence and frequency)
• Dryness of the vaginal cavity

The first postmenopausal symptom is not having a period for a full year. Women may have any of the following symptoms beyond this point:

• Flashes of heat
• Insomnia
• Swings in mood
• Sweating at night
• Dryness of the vaginal cavity
