Menopause is a natural physiological condition which all women experience during their lifetime as part of the aging process. Menopause is stoppage of menstruation as a result of stoppage of ovarian activity and marks the end of reproductive period of a woman’s life.
A woman can be said to be in her menopause if she has not had her
periods constantly for a time of 12 months.
Menopause is not a sudden process. The period of transition of a woman is mostly 4 -5 years before the actual onset of menopause. This transition phase is called Peri menopause. During peri menopause, periods may become irregular. The periods during peri menopause, may last longer, sometimes one may get heavy menstrual flow or sometimes the woman may get no periods at all.
The symptoms include:

Forgetfulness
Fatigue
Anxiety
Negative Thoughts
Heavy Bleeding
UTI

There is no one test to diagnose menopause. Symptoms may indicate that menopause is imminent
but menopause can only be confirmed retrospectively after periods have been absent for one year.
The intensity and frequency of menopausal symptoms vary from woman to woman.
The most important factor in managing Menopause for a woman is to take proper psychological and physical counseling, emotional support and encouragement
from partner, family, peers and friends
