Menopause occurs when your ovaries significantly decrease their estrogen production, the hormone that controls the reproductive cycle.
There are many symptoms of menopause that can affect women in different ways.
For example, some women may experience hot flashes, mood swings, depression and anxiety, weight gain, and sleep problems; while other women may experience thinning hair, vaginal dryness, and loss of breast fullness.
With so many differing symptoms, it can be frustrating to find the right treatment or the right doctor who will actually listen to you and your symptoms.
