Menopausal symptoms refer to physical and emotional changes that occur in women as they approach and go through menopause. Menopause is a natural process that occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs and hormone production decreases, typically around the age of 50. The term "menopausal symptoms" encompasses a wide range of physical and emotional changes that can vary greatly from one woman to another. Some common menopausal symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, irritability, depression, sleep disturbances, vaginal dryness, and decreased libido. These symptoms are typically temporary and will subside once a woman has completed her menstrual cycles. However, some women may experience more severe or prolonged symptoms that can impact their quality of life. Treatment options for menopausal symptoms include hormone replacement therapy, lifestyle changes such as exercise and diet, and medications to manage specific symptoms like antidepressants or sleep aids.
