What are the Causes of Menopause?
These are the reasons which can lead to the end of a woman's
fertility:
Natural Decline of Reproductive Hormone:
As we reach as our late 30s, then the ovaries start
producing less progesterone and estrogen (hormones that regulate the
menstruation cycle) and the fertility starts declines. In the 40s, the menstrual the duration can become shorter or longer, lighter or heavier, and less or more
frequent, until eventually, ovaries stop making eggs, and menopause occurs.
Hysterectomy:
A hysterectomy is a surgery where the uterus removed but
your ovaries are not removed. Generally, it doesn't cause the immediate end of
a woman's fertility. Although you have no longer periods, the ovaries release
eggs and produce hormones. But the surgery which removes both uterus and
ovaries (total hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy) does cause an instant
end of a woman's fertility.
Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy.
The cancer therapies can lead to the end of a woman's fertility,
causing symptoms like hot flashes shortly or during after the process of
treatment.
What are the Complications of Menopause?
After menopause, the risk of some medical conditions can
rises. for example:
Heart and Blood Vessel Disease:
When estrogen levels reduce, the risk of cardiovascular
disease increases. So it's recommended to do regular exercise, eat a healthy
diet and maintain a normal weight.
Osteoporosis:
This condition causes bones to become weak, which lead to
the risk of fractures. During the first few years after menstruation break, you
can lose your bone density at a fastly, and increasing your risk of
osteoporosis.
Sexual Function.
Vaginal dryness due to decreased moisture formation and loss
of elasticity can cause pain, discomfort and slight bleeding during sexual
intercourse.
