What Is Menopause?

Menopause is a natural milestone in every woman’s life, marking the end of menstrual cycles and the transition out of reproductive years. It’s officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a period, most often between ages 45 and 55.

This change is driven by declining levels of estrogen and progesterone—two hormones that support many areas of health, from energy and mood to bone strength and sexual well-being. While menopause is a normal process, its symptoms can feel disruptive. At Lite Medical, we help women move through this stage with clarity, comfort, and confidence.

What Causes Menopause?

The most common cause is simply natural aging, but several other factors can trigger or accelerate the process:

Natural Hormone Decline

Ovaries gradually reduce estrogen and progesterone production.

Surgical Menopause

Removal of the ovaries or uterus.

Medical Treatments

Chemotherapy or radiation may damage the ovaries.

Primary Ovarian Insufficiency

A condition where the ovaries stop functioning earlier than expected.

Common Symptoms of Menopause

Every woman experiences menopause differently, but many share symptoms such as:

Lifestyle Support at Home

Many women find relief with simple, daily changes. Before seeking treatment, you can try:

Balanced Nutrition

Whole foods, lean proteins, and plenty of produce.

Regular Movement

Exercise supports mood, weight, and bone strength.

Better Sleep Hygiene

Consistent bedtime routines improve rest.

Stress Management

Yoga, meditation, or breathing techniques reduce tension.

Stay Hydrated

Supports skin, energy, and overall well-being.

Avoid Triggers

Spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine can worsen hot flashes.

Treatment Options for Menopause

When symptoms interfere with daily life, medical care may be the right step. Options include:

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Restores estrogen and progesterone to ease symptoms.

Non-Hormonal Medications

Certain antidepressants or blood pressure drugs can reduce hot flashes or mood changes.

Vaginal Estrogen Therapy

Provides local relief for dryness and discomfort.

Natural Remedies

Herbal supplements may offer support, though results vary.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps with mood balance and sleep quality.
