Menopause is a natural biological process that every woman undergoes after a certain age. Typically, this process begins when women near their 40s and is accompanied by a variety of symptoms. Physical symptoms such as hot flashes brought on by hormonal changes are quite common and can cause a lot of disruption to sleep. Additionally, women undergoing menopause may experience lower energy or mood swings. Dr. Turner is an obstetrician-gynecologist that has been helping women manage their menopausal symptoms for 40 years. If you are struggling with your menopausal symptoms, Dr. Turner is here to provide you with the care and attention you deserve.
Why Does Menopause Occur?
Menopause marks the end of your menstrual cycles and typically occurs around age 50. However, some women may experience menopause earlier or later. In some cases, symptoms may not appear until a woman is in her 60s. A common way to notice the onset of this issue is going 12 months without a menstrual period. Other symptoms include chills, night sweats, mood swings, thinning hair, and vaginal dryness. Typically, skipping periods during premenopause is common with menstrual periods skipping a month and returning, or skipping several months at a time. Despite this irregularity, pregnancy is still possible during premenopause and should be taken into account.
