What is Menopause Syndrome?
Menopause is the permanent end of menstruation and fertility, defined as occurring 12 months after your last
menstrual period.
Menopause is a natural biological process, not a medical illness. Even so, the physical and emotional symptoms of
menopause can disrupt your sleep, sap your energy and — at least indirectly — trigger feelings of sadness and loss.
Hormonal changes cause the physical symptoms of menopause, but mistaken beliefs about the menopausal
transition are partly to blame for the emotional ones. First, menopause doesn't mean the end is near — you've still got
as much as half your life to go. Second, menopause will not snuff out your femininity and sexuality. In fact, you may be
one of the many women who find it liberating to stop worrying about pregnancy and periods.
Most important, even though menopause is not an illness, you shouldn't hesitate to get treatment if you're having
severe symptoms. Many treatments are available, from lifestyle adjustments to hormone therapy.
Symptoms
Technically, you don't actually "hit" menopause until it's been one year since your final menstrual period. In the United
States, that happens about age 51, on average.
The signs and symptoms of menopause, however, often appear long before the one-year anniversary of your final
period. They include:
• Irregular periods
• Decreased fertility
• Vaginal dryness
• Hot flashes
• Sleep disturbances
• Mood swings
• Increased abdominal fat
• Thinning hair
• Loss of breast fullness
Causes
Causes of menopause include:
• Natural decline of reproductive hormones
• Hysterectomy
• Chemotherapy and radiation therapy
• Primary ovarian insufficiency
• Stages of menopause
Menopause itself requires no medical treatment. Instead, treatments focus on relieving your signs and symptoms and
on preventing or lessening chronic conditions that may occur with aging. Treatments include:
• Hormone therapy
• Low-dose antidepressants
• Gabapentin (Neurontin)
• Clonidine (Catapres, others
• Bisphosphonates
• Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs)
• Vaginal estrogen
