“men” meaning month, which is related to the word moon, and
“pauses ” meaning to cease or stop. In other words, the time
when a woman's monthly cycle ends.

The time of life when a woman's ovaries stop producing hormones and
menstrual periods stop. Natural menopause usually occurs around age
of 40 to 50. A woman is said to be in menopause when she hasn't had a
period for 12 months in a row.

17.  Complications:
1. Osteoporosis. This condition causes bones to become brittle and
weak, leading to an increased risk of fractures
2. Urinary incontinence
3. Sexual disfunction
4. Weight gain
17

18.  Diagnostic test:
1. Blood test
2. Urine tests to determine levels of the hormones estradiol
3. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH),
4. Luteinizing hormone (LH)
18

19.  Nursing diagnose:
1. The diagnosis of menopause is clinical, based on the absence of
menses for 12 months, and does not require further testing for
appropriately presenting patient
2. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (estradiol),
because your FSH levels rise and estradiol levels decline as
menopause occurs
3. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), because an underactive thyroid
(hypothyroidism) can cause signs similar to those of menopause
19

20. MEDICAL MANAGEMENT:
Menopause needs no medical treatment. Instead, treatments focus on
releasing your signs and symptoms and checking or managing chronic
conditions that may occur with ageing. Treatments may include:
1. Hormone therapy
2. Vaginal estrogen
3. Low-dose antidepressants
4. Gabapentin (Neurontin , Gralise , others)
5. Clonidine (Catapres , K, apvayothers)
6. Medications to prevent or treat osteoporosis
20

21.  Nursing intervention:
1. The nurse should educate the patient on the increased risk of heart
disease and emphasize prevention.
2. The women should be encouraged to exercise regularly, eat a healthy
diet, discontinue smoking and maintain a healthy weight.
3. Since menopause can also result in mood changes, a mental health
nurse should offer counsel
