What is Menopause?
A normal condition where menstrual periods stop due to decreasing levels of hormones from the ovaries. Menopause marks the end of the reproductive age for the women. The average age of menopause in the United States is 51 years. Menopause is abnormal if it occurs too early (under 40 years old). While menopause is normal, many women suffer from hot flashes, sleep disturbances and other symptoms that can be disruptive to their enjoyment of life when entering menopause.
Typical Symptoms of Menopause
- No periods for one year
- Irregular periods
- Long intervals between periods e.g. 39 days or more
- Unusual changes in period
Diagnostic Questions for Menopause
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Did you have your last period over a year ago?
- Are your periods irregular?
- Is your menstrual cycle infrequent?
- Have you noticed any unusual changes in your period?
Treatment of Menopause
Menopause is a normal part of aging for women, but some of the symptoms can be uncomfortable and require treatment. For hot flashes, simple measures like dressing in layers, wearing loose clothing and applying cold towels to the body may help alleviate the discomfort. If these fail, seeing a specialist for hormonal therapy can help.

Q.
Can Menopause Cause Prolonged Heavy Bleeding?
A.
Yes, menopause can lead to prolonged heavy bleeding, particularly during the menopausal transition, which is the period leading up to menopause known as perimenopause. This phase is characterized by hormonal fluctuations that can significantly affect menstrual patterns.
