Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years.
It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, though it can happen earlier or later. Menopause is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period and is accompanied by a variety of physical, emotional, and hormonal changes.

Common Symptoms of Menopause
While menopause is a natural transition, its symptoms can significantly affect daily life. Common symptoms include:
Hot Flushes
Sudden feelings of warmth that spread over the body, often accompanied by sweating and flushing.
Night Sweats
Excessive sweating during sleep, which can disrupt rest.
Mood Changes
Irritability, anxiety, or feelings of sadness due to hormonal fluctuations.
Sleep Disturbances
Difficulty falling or staying asleep, often linked to night sweats.
Vaginal Dryness
Discomfort or irritation due to thinning and dryness of vaginal tissues.
Weight Gain
Changes in metabolism leading to increased fat accumulation, especially around the abdomen.
Bone Health Concerns
A decline in estrogen levels can contribute to reduced bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.
Causes of Menopause Symptoms
Menopause symptoms arise from a natural decline in reproductive hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. Surgical removal of the ovaries, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy can also induce menopause and its associated symptoms.
Managing Menopause
While menopause is inevitable, its symptoms can be managed to improve quality of life. Treatment options include:
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
A common approach to address hot flashes, bone health, and vaginal dryness.
Lifestyle Changes
Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques can help alleviate symptoms.
Medical Cannabis
Emerging evidence suggests cannabis-based medicines may help manage certain menopause symptoms, such as sleep disturbances and mood changes.
Non-Hormonal Treatments
Alternative therapies, such as herbal supplements, acupuncture, and mindfulness practices, may also provide relief.
