MENOPAUSE

Is hormone replacement right for you?

Overview

Menopause is when periods stop for good. It’s diagnosed after 12 months without a menstrual period, vaginal bleeding or spotting. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s and the average age is 51 in the United States.

Menopause is natural. But the physical symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats and emotional symptoms of menopause may disrupt sleep, lower energy or affect mood. There are many treatments, from lifestyle changes to hormone therapy.
