Menopause usually occurs naturally, as a result of declining levels of reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone, produced by the ovaries; but it may also happen prematurely after surgical removal of the ovaries, as a side effect of cancer treatments, or in a condition known as primary ovarian insufficiency, where the ovaries fail to produce hormones. Menopause is usually preceded by a transient period called perimenopause, when hormone levels start to drop. The last couple of years leading to menopause may bring symptoms such as hot or cold flashes, mood swings, insomnia, vaginal dryness, urinary urgency, and dry skin. Some women may also experience temporary heart racing, headaches and hair loss. The most telling sign that menopause is approaching is the irregularity of periods. Skipping a period or two is common. The cycles may also be shorter. Periods may be heavier or lighter than usual. Most symptoms usually ease in the years after menopause, but low levels of estrogen may cause other health problems. Because estrogen influences bone density and has a protective action on blood vessels against cholesterol plaques, low estrogen levels increase risks for bone loss, known as osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Low estrogen also weakens the tissues supporting the urethra, causing urine leakage, or urinary incontinence. Risks for urinary tract infections also increase after menopause. While menopause is a natural stage of life and does not require medical treatment, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle including physical exercise and diets sufficient in calcium and vitamin D, to counter the risks of heart diseases and osteoporosis. Women with persisting or severe symptoms may also benefit from certain treatment options: – Topical estrogen in the form of cream, tablet or ring, administered directly to the vagina, can be effective for treatment of vaginal dryness and urinary problems. – Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles and may help treat urinary incontinence. – Estrogen replacement therapy is effective for treatment of severe hot flashes and may help prevent osteoporosis. However, it is associated with higher risks for cardiovascular diseases and breast cancer, and should be considered only for women with high risks of osteoporosis who cannot take non-estrogen medicines. Hormone therapy should be used at the lowest dose for the shortest duration needed to achieve treatment goals.
