Description:
Menopause is a routine non-pathologic condition involving the
permanent cessation of menses for at least 12 months and occurs in
all menstruating females due to non-pathologic estrogen deficiency.
In the United States, approximately 1.3 million women become
menopausal each year. It typically begins between the ages of 51 and
52, although some women experience premature menopause before the
age of 40, due to permanent ovarian failure that may be associated
with sex chromosome abnormalities. Menopause symptoms vary, but 75%
of women experience vasomotor symptoms (VMS). These include hot
flashes, night sweats, palpitations, and migraines. Woman can also
experience urogenital symptoms and psychogenic symptoms, which can
include anxiety, depression, sexual dysfunction, and migraines.
