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.
The most common cause is simply natural aging, but several other factors can trigger or accelerate the process:
Ovaries gradually reduce estrogen and progesterone production.
Removal of the ovaries or uterus.
Chemotherapy or radiation may damage the ovaries.
A condition where the ovaries stop functioning earlier than expected.
Every woman experiences menopause differently, but many share symptoms such as:
Many women find relief with simple, daily changes. Before seeking treatment, you can try:
Whole foods, lean proteins, and plenty of produce.
Exercise supports mood, weight, and bone strength.
Consistent bedtime routines improve rest.
Yoga, meditation, or breathing techniques reduce tension.
Supports skin, energy, and overall well-being.
Spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine can worsen hot flashes.
When symptoms interfere with daily life, medical care may be the right step. Options include:
Restores estrogen and progesterone to ease symptoms.
Certain antidepressants or blood pressure drugs can reduce hot flashes or mood changes.
Provides local relief for dryness and discomfort.
Herbal supplements may offer support, though results vary.
Helps with mood balance and sleep quality.
