8. MENOPAUSE
Menopause is the stage in a woman's life when she stops having
her monthly period. It is a normal part of aging that marks the
end of a woman's reproductive years.
• The average age of menopause is 51.( range 45-55 years)
Menopause is commonly divided into two stages:
• Perimenopause - Woman first starts
to experience menopausal signs like
hot flashes, but is still having her
period, may last 4 to 5 years or longer
• Postmenopause - When 12 months have passed since last
period. The years that follow are called postmenopause.

9. CAUSES
• Menopause occurs when the ovaries begin to stop functioning.
The ovaries produce the female hormones estrogen and
progesterone that together control menstruation. At
menopause, ovaries produce much less of these hormones and
they don't release eggs.
Additional causes of menopause include:
• Surgical removal of the ovaries
• Chemotherapy and radiation therapy
• Primary ovarian insufficiency - When
the ovaries fail to produce normal levels of reproductive
hormones.

12. RISK FACTORS
The reduction of estrogen in the body after menopause increases
a woman's risk of:
• Osteoporosis - bones become less dense,
more fragile and likely to fracture. Estrogen
signals cells in the bones to stop breaking
down, preserving bone mass.
• Coronary artery disease - blockage of
coronary arteries that surround the heart
muscle, caused by plaque buildup
associated with high levels of cholesterol.
Estrogen helps maintain healthy levels of
cholesterol in the blood.

symptoms of menopause, including:
• Regular exercise/YOGA
• Plenty of sleep

and vitamin D
supplements
