What is menopause?
The ovaries produce ovum and a hormone
called oestrogen which regulates female
body characteristics, menstrual cycle and
pregnancy. During menopause there is
reduction of this hormone and since it has
action on various organs of the body a
woman takes some time in adjusting to the
new internal environment and so all the
symptoms are secondary to the phase. The
average age of occurence is 46-53 years.
Symptoms of menopause:
it is not necessary that every woman need
to have any of the following. In many it
tends to go through without any
symptoms.
Irregular bleeding:
menses tend to get delayed and bleeding
increased and prolonged.
Hot flashes:
a feeling of sudden sensation of warmth
followed by perspiration sometimes
disturbing sleep with palpitation and
confusing with a heart-attack.
Mood swings:
moodiness, irritability, anxiety at
trifles, depression are common. Also it
is mostly during this age women are
burdened with career developments,
domestic pressures, children’s education,
ageing parents and in-laws. All the above
add to the confusion.
Vaginal dryness:
due to lack of oestrogen after menopause
there is dryness of the vagina and thereby
decreased sexual desire.
The change of life is also conducive for:
osteoporosis:
loss of calcium from the bone making it
easy for degenerative diseases like
arthritis etc.
Heart disease:
though there is no known reason menopausal
age is more common for ailments of the
heart in women.

woman through this phase of life cheerful
and unscathed. It can correct prolonged
bleeding, give relief from hot flushes and
decrease the intensity and frequency of
mood swings. It is also more important as
homoeopathic medicines have the potency to
improve the assimilation and reduce
osteoporosis and lessen the probability of
osteoarthritis.
