Menopause is the 1st station in the third age of the female’s life. It is the time when her period stops. It usually occurs naturally, most often after age 45. Menopause happens because the woman’s ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
A woman has reached menopause when she has not had a period for one year. Changes and symptoms can start several years earlier. They include
* A change in periods – shorter or longer, lighter or heavier, with more or less time in between
* Hot flashes and/or night sweats
* Trouble sleeping
* Vaginal dryness
* Mood swings
* Trouble focusing
* Less hair on head, more on face

Many health problems women can face during this age.
