What Is Menopause?
Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, signaling the end of menstrual cycles. It happens when the ovaries stop producing eggs, leading to a decrease in hormone levels—especially estrogen and progesterone. While every woman’s experience is different, common signs of menopause include:
- Hot flashes and night sweats
- Irregular periods
- Mood changes, anxiety, or depression
- Vaginal dryness
- Weight gain and slower metabolism
- Sleep disturbances
- Loss of bone density
At My Lady Doc, we understand that these changes can affect your quality of life. That’s why we’re here to help you feel empowered and supported every step of the way.
