Menopause Treatment
WHAT IS MENOPAUSE?
It is the end of the menstrual cycle that occurs every month as a result of the loss of function of the ovaries in women. This menopause, which is part of aging, indicates the end of the reproductive period in women.
Menopause occurs naturally and unnaturally.
Natural menopause is a condition brought on by aging. As we get older, the ability to reproduce is prepared to slow down and stop. When this decline occurs, the menstrual cycle changes, becomes irregular and eventually stops.
Unnatural menopause is caused by ovarian removal, hysterectomy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and ovarian failure.
