Menopause Care
Menopause is a transition into a new phase of life. It begins when the menstrual cycle finishes. Menopause is not a health problem, and some experience it as a time of liberation. However, hormonal changes and other factors involved can cause discomfort.
- Menopause is the stage of life that follows the end of the menstrual cycles. Each person may experience menopause differently. It can last for several years, and there are three stages: Perimenopause is the transitional time that starts before menopause and includes the 12 months that follow a person’s last period. Menopause starts either 12 months after the last period or when menstruation has stopped for a clinical reason, such as the removal of the ovaries. Postmenopause refers to the years after menopause, although it can be difficult to know when menopause finished and postmenopause starts.
