Menopause is when a woman no longer has a period. It is also the time when she can no longer get pregnant naturally.Menopause can start at any time but it usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. Periods become less frequent and a woman's oestrogen levels begin to decline. Women at different stages of menopause may experience a plethora of symptoms. While some may not require any treatment, others can have symptoms that affect the quality of life.Menopause symptoms can begin a few months or even years before your period stops and can last up to four years, but this varies. These symptoms are caused by a change in the balance of the sex hormones in your body as you get older. Your ovaries stop producing as much oestrogen and you no longer release an egg.Some of these symptoms can be quite severe and include: hot flashes, difficulty sleeping, low mood or anxiety, problems remembering things, night sweats, vaginal dryness, or a reduced sex drive.There are different treatments for menopause such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT). This involves taking tablets or having implants to relieve your symptoms. However, not everyone wants to opt for hormone replacement therapy. The following quiz helps you find out about more natural methods to deal with your menopause symptoms, from herbal help to lifestyle changes.
