What Is Menopause?
Menopause is the period of time in a woman’s life in which her menstrual periods stop and she is no longer fertile. The average age of menopause is about 51 years but it can last anywhere from age 40 to 59 years of age. Menopause is usually preceded by “perimenopause” by a few years.
In perimenopause, the hormone levels of estrogen and progesterone normally produced by the ovaries begin to decrease. The periods become irregular but do not stop altogether. Women can get symptoms of menopause during perimenopause (hot flashes, night sweats, and mood changes, to name a few) but they aren’t as frequent as when a woman reaches menopause.
In this course, we will be discussing perimenopause, menopause, and the best ways to know what to expect and how to deal with the various symptoms you might experience as you go through the change in life.
