Understanding Menopause and Its Stages

Perimenopause:

The transitional period leading up to menopause is called perimenopause. It is characterized by fluctuating hormone levels, leading to irregular periods. This phase can last for several years and involves an erratic decline in hormones, causing irregular menstrual cycles and symptoms such as hot flashes.

Menopause:

The end of a woman’s reproductive years and is defined as the cessation of menstruation for 12 consecutive months. This typically occurs around the age of fifty one and is triggered by the ovaries ceasing to release eggs and significantly reducing estrogen production.

Postmenopause:

The years following menopause when hormone levels remain consistently low. This period can present long-term health risks, including osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.

Vaginal Health Changes During Menopause

Hormonal changes during menopause significantly impact vaginal health, particularly the decline in estrogen levels. These changes can lead to the following:

  • Thinning of vaginal tissues
  • Burning sensation
  • Decreased elasticity causing vaginal looseness
  • Discomfort during intercourse
  • Increased risk of infections
  • Leakage of urine
