What is Menopause?

Causes
/ Menopause is the stopping of menstruation.
/ Around this period, the secretion of female hormones decreases gradually, leading to infertility and certain physiological and psychological changes.
/ These changes usually occur in their 40s. The median age of menopause in Hong Kong women is 51 but the actual age of menopause varies.

Physiological Symptoms

/ Hot flushes
Because of vasodilatation, women may experience a sudden hot feeling, which can spread from the chest to the neck and face. It can last for a few minutes and is usually accompanied with sweating all over the body.
/ Palpitation^
/ Excessive sweating, especially during hot flushes^
/ Headache, dizziness, fatigue, insomnia^
/ Irregular menstruation
Menstruation can become irregular before actual menopause. If women notice that they have prolonged and heavy menstrual period or postmenopausal vaginal bleeding, they should seek medical advice.
/ Vaginal dryness
Decreased vaginal secretion, vaginal atrophy and decreased elasticity of the vagina can sometimes cause pain during sexual intercourse.
/ Osteoporosis
A reduction in the secretion of hormones, especially oestrogen, speeds up the loss of calcium in the body, causing the bones to become porous and brittle.

Psychological Symptoms
Some women undergoing menopause experience depression, irritability, anxiety, emotional fluctuations or loss of confidence. Some may suffer from deterioration of memory or difficulty in concentrating.
