What Happens During Menopause?
Menopause is a transitional period that usually culminates in complete cessation of menstrual
periods. Monthly periods occur due to regular ovulation of ovaries. However, with age, your
ovaries do not function in the same way. Ovulation is less frequent and there are fewer eggs in
ovaries. Lower ovulation leads to less hormones.
Normally, different hormonal changes occur every month and these changes transform into your
menstrual periods. During your menopause period, your body registers fewer rises in estrogen
and progesterone levels.
You have long periods with lower hormone levels.
Sometimes, there is a sudden jump in hormone levels and you may have menstrual periods,
though not in accord with your regular cycle. This is because your ovaries do not suddenly stop
producing estrogen. Sometimes, estrogen and progesterone levels increase and result in
menstrual periods. Such irregular periods are common during menopause.
However, over a few years, your ovaries come to have very much lower levels of estrogen and
progesterone.
These low levels can no longer induce menstrual periods and your periods come to an end. This is
the culmination of menopause. If you do not have menstrual periods for a minimum period of
twelve months, doctors confirm you have entered menopause.
What Actually Happens During Menopause?
Estrogen and progesterone are the two most important hormones responsible for your menstrual
periods.
Estrogen stimulates growth of the uterus lining to house your egg, if fertilized.
Progesterone is responsible for thickening the uterus lining and produces glycogen, which
provides food for the embryo.
Every month, your ovaries release an egg for fertilization.
If fertilized, it is implanted within the thickened uterus lining and proceeds through pregnancy.
If the egg is not fertilized, progesterone production stops and that results in the uterus lining
being shed in the form of menstrual periods. That is your menstrual cycle.
This cycle does not stop abruptly. Reduced hormonal production by the ovaries may cause some
unpredictable changes in menstrual cycles.
Some cycles could have heavy menstrual discharge but sometimes menstrual periods are
completely skipped.
These changes occur over a period of five to eight years, called perimenopause, and finally end in
menopause.
What are the Risk Factors for Menopause?
Menopause is a normal biological process. Yet, there are certain factors that could affect the
onset of menopause.
Genetic
If you have a family history of premature menopause, you stand a greater risk of having it too.
Premature menopause is where you enter menopause before the age of forty.
Medical Treatments
If you are treated for any ailment where you undergo radiation and chemotherapy treatments,
this may cause you to enter menopause sooner.
Surgery
If you undergo surgical removal of the ovaries as in total hysterectomy and bilateral
oophorectomy, you will enter menopause early. A hysterectomy removes only your uterus and
not your ovaries. Such an operation may not cause menopause, as your ovaries continue to
produce estrogen and progesterone hormones.
Smoking
Nicotine levels in your body may help to induce early menopause, as they are believed to restrict
free production of hormones. This could disrupt your regular menstrual cycle and you may enter
perimenopause and menopause earlier.
Medications
Specific medications that reduce estrogen levels in your body could cause early onset of
menopause.
Autoimmune diseases
Certain autoimmune diseases disrupt normal physiological functioning of your body and some
may be involved in the early onset of menopause.
Premature Ovarian Failure
This is a very rare condition where your ovaries could stop functioning well before the age of forty
due to specific genetic or other medical conditions. This may causes menopause to start earlier.

Are you sick and tired of all the jokes about menopause? Unless you've suffered the menopause
symptoms you just don't "get it."
Do you ever wonder why menopause can be so hard to handle? You try everything out there and
nothing seems to really work."
Part of the problem is that many of the so-called self-help books are written by women who
haven't reached that stage in their lives. Or, heaven forbid, are written by men! Doctors,
perhaps, but men nevertheless.
Until there is a man who can suffer from hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause it's
probably a good idea to take what they say with a grain of salt!
It's time to stop trying to force a round peg into a square hole. Contrary to popular belief, not all
women suffer equally from the side effects of menopause. What a concept! Women aren't all
alike. Imagine that!
Having as much information available on the subject can help you gain confidence, support and
understanding about how to cope with your menopausal symptoms.
Much of the information we have been taught is outdated and downright mythical. Hard as it is to
believe, there are people who think that menopause marks the end of a sex life, causes memory
problems and that it is actually a disease!
Finally, there is a self-help tutorial written by a woman for women in the hope that this
information will give women a better understanding of menopause.
There are other outdated, archaic beliefs as well. These, as well as other much needed
information can be found in Your Menopause Handbook - A Self Help Guide for Healthy Living.
Not only does it include a entire chapter debunking many of the myths surrounding menopause
take a look at what else is covered:
- What are the different types of menopause - yes, there is more than one
- Should you seek medical help and if so, when
- Smoking and how it affects menopause
- Your urinary tract and menopause
- Treatment options including Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
- About Bioidentical Hormones (BHRT)
- How to reduce and in some cases, eliminate symptoms
- Ten ways to relieve hot flashes
- Acupuncture and herbal remedies
Listen, we could go on and on about everything that is jam-packed inside this 100 page special
guide. But, you need to experience it for yourself.
If you are one of those "boomers" who are in or fast approaching that age where you have to
deal with the daily stresses that surround us, this is one area that you CAN control!

oatmeal covered fingers. She cries, your wife snaps and out the door you
run to join the safari just as the sun is rising.
