What is menopause overview?

Menopause refers to the decline of women's ovarian function and the cessation of menstruation, which is more common in women aged 45 to 55. Women in menopause begin to have declining physical functions, and even their nerves and spirits begin to deteriorate. Nervous and mental disorders: Some women have obvious fluctuations in blood pressure, may have emotional instability, irritability, personality changes, memory loss, etc.

Menopause can be divided into two types: natural menopause and artificial menopause:

Natural menopause: refers to the exhaustion of ovarian follicles, or the loss of response of the remaining follicles to gonadotropins. The follicles no longer develop and secrete estrogen, and cannot stimulate the growth of the endometrium, leading to menopause.

Artificial menopause: refers to surgical removal of both ovaries or other methods to stop ovarian function, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

The symptoms of menopause can be roughly summarized as follows:

Menstrual disorders: the most common and prominent manifestation of menopausal women. Menstruation is often delayed, even once every few months, and the menstrual flow gradually decreases. When estrogen becomes less and less and can no longer cause changes in the endometrium, menstruation stops, which is called menopause. Hot flashes: one of the main characteristics of menopause. Some women will have bouts of fever, blushing, sweating, dizziness, and palpitations during menopause due to the decrease in estrogen levels and blood calcium levels. The duration varies from one to two minutes or 12 to 15 minutes.

The body functions of women in menopause begin to decline, and even their nerves and spirits begin to deteriorate. Nervous and mental disorders: some women have obvious fluctuations in blood pressure, and may have emotional instability, irritability, personality changes, memory loss, etc. Cardiovascular and lipid metabolism disorders: coronary heart disease and diabetes may occur. Degeneration of the motor system: pain in the waist, back and limbs occurs, and some women develop frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis.
