Menopause is defined as the permanent cessation of menstruation and fertility, occurring naturally around age 45-55. It marks the end of the reproductive phase of a woman's life. There are typically four phases - pre-menopause, peri-menopause, menopausal, and post-menopausal. Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, urinary problems, and mood changes. Hormone therapy can help treat symptoms but comes with some health risks, so lifestyle changes and non-hormonal options are usually recommended first.
This document discusses menopause, its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. It defines menopause and related terms, and notes that the average age of menopause is around 51 years old. Symptoms can include hot flashes, mood changes, and vaginal dryness. Diagnosis is made if a woman has not had a period in 12 months. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, and medications to help with symptoms. Hormone therapy has risks but can help treat menopausal symptoms and prevent osteoporosis.
Here are the key considerations for this patient:
- She is postmenopausal based on her age
- With an intact uterus, estrogen-only hormone therapy would put her at increased risk for endometrial cancer
- As she is asymptomatic, hormone therapy may not be needed
- Screening for osteoporosis, cardiovascular risk, and breast cancer should be discussed based on risk factors
- Lifestyle modifications like calcium/vitamin D, exercise, not smoking can help prevent diseases of menopause
- Close monitoring without hormone therapy is a reasonable option given her age and lack of bothersome symptoms
The priorities would be assessing risk factors, discussing screening recommendations, and supporting lifestyle changes to promote health during men

Delayed and precocious puberty refer to puberty occurring outside the normal age ranges. Delayed puberty involves a lack of secondary sexual characteristics like breast growth in girls by age 13 or testicular enlargement in boys by age 14. Causes can be constitutional or involve chronic illnesses or genetic syndromes. Evaluation involves physical exam, lab tests of hormones, and imaging if needed. Treatment aims to induce puberty with hormones if needed. Precocious puberty is defined as puberty onset before age 8 in girls or 9 in boys and can be central, peripheral, or a normal variant. Causes include genetic factors, CNS issues, or tumors. Evaluation and treatment depend on the specific cause and aim to prevent
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders among females of reproductive age. It is characterized by oligoovulation or anovulation, hyperandrogenism, and polycystic ovaries. The cause is unknown but there is strong evidence of a genetic component. Symptoms include irregular periods, hirsutism, acne, obesity and risk of diabetes. Treatment focuses on reducing androgen levels, protecting the endometrium, weight loss, and inducing ovulation when pregnancy is desired. Long term monitoring is also needed due to increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obstetric complications.
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected intercourse if the woman is under 35 years old, or after 6 months if the woman is over 35.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.
