What is Menopause?
Normally, menopause occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. It is not an ailment or disease. It is
a normal biologic process, as normal as breathing.
It does not begin within a narrow range of ages, like puberty or loss of one’s first tooth. It
typically occurs over a span of eight to ten years.
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s fertility period. Her ovaries no longer produce eggs, and
production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone also decrease.
There are many significant physical changes. The body attempts to continue to send hormones to
stimulate ovulation for as long as possible, but it is a failing process.
Ovaries may respond erratically, causing erratic menstrual periods. Eventually, the ovaries are
unable to ovulate. This restricts, and finally stops, monthly periods.
The ovaries still continue to ovulate for some time and produce low levels of estrogen and,
sometimes, androgens. Androgens are substances, such as testosterone or androsterone, which
promote male characteristics. These are often converted into estrogen in a woman’s fatty tissues.
The uterus lining also thins down due to low estrogen levels.
Sadly, menopause does not cause sudden stoppage of menstrual periods. There could be
irregular occurrences spread over several years.
These may include
- lengthy or very short periods
- excessive or very little bleeding
- bleeding with clots and
- variation of the time between menstrual periods.
Useful Menopause Terms
Premenopause refers to most reproductive years in your biological cycle
Perimenopause includes the years prior to the onset of menopause, when one experiences
different symptoms, especially irregular menstruation and hot flashes
Menopause is the point of permanent cessation of menstruation
Post-menopause are the years following menopause.
Causes of Menopause
There is no single cause or specific happening, which you can attribute to the onset of
menopause.
Menopause may be categorized as surgical, induced or premature.
Surgical menopause is due to surgical removal of ovaries.
Induced menopause is when ovaries are damaged due to x-rays, drugs, or other factors.
Premature menopause is considered to be any onset before the age of 40. It can be either
natural or induced.
Menopause is a natural biologic process that occurs over a span of time and involves various
related processes.
Normally, women in their 40’s experience menopausal symptoms, and attain menopause by their
mid-fifties.
Although menopause is normally a natural process, it can sometimes be related to an external
cause, such as medical situations like hysterectomy, damage to ovaries, cancer, etc.
Every woman is born with around two million eggs in follicles (sacs) within her ovaries. A woman
may still have around 300,000 by the time of puberty. Only 400 to 500 eggs mature fully for
release during her full menstrual cycle. The rest of these eggs degenerate.
A woman could be left with less than ten thousand eggs when she approaches menopause.
In the reproductive years, her brain releases specific chemicals that induce the release of an egg
each month. The follicle produces higher levels of sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone, to
thicken the uterus lining. This lining will provide necessary support to the egg, if fertilized.
If there is no fertilization, the uterus lining breaks, the estrogen and progesterone levels drop
and menstruation occurs.
However, a woman’s ovaries do not stop producing estrogen completely.
Progesterone levels also register varying levels.
These changing hormone levels may affect other glands of her endocrine system.
So, she may experience changes in her breast tissue, bone density, gastrointestinal tract, vagina,
skin and urinary tract.
Some of these changes may disrupt her normal body functioning. She may:
- suffer pain in her breasts
- experience vaginal dryness and itching
- develop urinary incontinence and
- have more pronounced signs of aging skin.

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!
