What happens during menopause?


Menopause is a period of time during a women’s life that begins one year after your last period. This transition typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. It is a completely natural part of aging that happens because of decreased female sex hormone levels. As you age, your ovaries will slowly stop releasing eggs until you no longer release any meaning that you will no longer be able to get pregnant or have periods.

What are the symptoms of menopause?


Common symptoms of menopause include:

Changes in Period
The first thing you’ll begin to notice is changes in your period. Your periods may last more than a week, happen very close together, become very heavy, or be months apart. During the transition into menopause, these changes in your period are completely normal; however, you should talk to your physician about them.

Hot Flashes
Hot flashes can occur because of changes in estrogen levels. These hot flashes will typically last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes. During a hot flash, you may also experience heavy sweating, chills, and red blotches on the chest and arms.

Mood Changes
Mood changes such as increased irritability and depression are common symptoms of menopause. This may be caused by insomnia, hormone changes, and increased stress on the body.

Vaginal Health Changes
Because your estrogen levels decrease, you can also expect changes in your vaginal and sexual health. You may experience vaginal dryness, decreased libido, and pain during intercourse.

Body Changes
Additionally, your body will also begin to change which is completely natural. You may notice easier weight gain, a loss of muscle mass, memory problems, thin skin, and stiff joints. These changes are common during menopause and the aging process.

Bladder Control
Bladder control problems can occur in women during menopause. Urinary incontinence can occur when you exercise, laugh, sneeze, or engage in sexual intercourse.

Sleep Issues and Insomnia
Some women find it difficult to sleep through the night because of night sweats and hot flashes. We recommend following a regular sleep schedule to help avoid developing chronic insomnia.

If you’d like to reduce these symptoms associated with menopause, our specialists can recommend menopause treatments. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, coolsculpting, cosmetic fillers, and o-shots can all be used to treat certain symptoms.

How long does menopause last?


Menopause can last anywhere from 7 to 14 years depending on your lifestyle, age, and ethnicity. Postmenopause is the period of time after you’ve gone through menopause that lasts for the rest of your life. During post-menopause, your symptoms of menopause will significantly decrease or in some cases, completely disappear.
