Frequently Asked Questions
A woman’s life reaches a turning point when she enters menopause, a natural biological process. The start of a new era and the end of her reproductive years are symbolized by the stage.
The Menopause symptoms can vary from woman to woman. Here are some common ones:

- Hot flashes
- Sleep disturbances

It is an unavoidable aspect of female aging. Although the precise explanation is still not entirely known, several factors are thought to have an impact.
Aging ovary: Hormone production declines as women age because their ovaries eventually become less sensitive to hormonal cues from the brain.
Decreased follicle count: A limited number of ovarian follicles, which house immature eggs, are present in every woman at birth.
Genetic and familial factors: Women with a family history of early or late menopause are more likely to experience it at a similar age.
