Menopause: It is a natural biological process related with women menstrual cycle. Menopause is marked by 12 months since last menstrual cycle occurred. It basically strikes during the age of 40’s or 50’s. It is the time phase that marks the termination of the menstrual cycles in the women. In other words, we can say that when woman stops having their periods and will no longer be able to give birth or reproduce naturally is termed as Menopause. But if it occurs before the age of 40 then it is called premature menopause. Near about 10 million cases are diagnosed per year in India.
When the sex hormones present in women get imbalanced with the growing age then their ovaries produce less proportion of the Oestrogen hormone which results in longer release of eggs every month. The treatments like Oophorectomy (ovary removal), breast cancer therapy, chemotherapy, down’s syndrome may also be the cause of menopause.
