MENOPAUSE

What is “climacteric”?

Climacteric is a natural period in women’s life. It is individual and generally occurs in the interval of the age 40-60. It is mostly due to the reduced ovaries function and the reduced female sex hormones (estrogens) level. This leads to some changes in female organism and to subjective complaints.

What are the phases of the climacteric?

Climacteric is a transition from reproductive to advanced age and has 3 phases:

• Pre-menopause – menstrual periods start changing and hormone production progressively declines.
• Menopause – the time when there has been no menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months. It is the end of fertility, the end of the childbearing years. The falling estrogen levels commonly result in a spectrum of physical and psychological disorder. Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 to and the average age is 51.
• Post-menopause – when the organism is already adapted to the new conditions

What are the menopausal symptoms?

Genital atrophy and urinary symptoms lead to vaginal dryness cystitis, urinary incontinence etc. Other symptoms associated with menopause include: reduced libido, insomnia, headache, inability to concentrate, anxiety etc. The symptoms may have profound effect on the well-being and quality of life of menopause women.

What is premature menopause?

Menopause occurs prematurely in 1% of women who are less than 40 years old. The tragedy of premature menopause is the unexpected loss of fertility in otherwise healthy young women.

Why growing number of women now prefer natural products?

After publishing the results of large scale international trials (2002), stating that HRT increases the risk of breast cancer, cardio-vascular and other complications, the specialists started looking for a reasonable alternative.
