Overview
The menopause happens when your periods stop for good, marking the end of fertility. It usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55, and it is caused by a drop in hormone levels.
Symptoms
You might be going through the menopause if you start noticing changes like irregular periods, hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings, trouble sleeping, or vaginal dryness.
Treatment
Menopause treatments can include hormone replacement therapy (HRT), lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and non-hormonal options to help manage symptoms like hot flushes, mood changes, and vaginal dryness.
