What are the causes of menopause ?

Menopause is one of the periods of life that characterizes every woman. It’s particularly known for his effects on their menstrual cycle and then on the reproduction. Here, we will be discussing on the causes of this menopause. But before this let’s understand what it means and how to recognize it.

Menopause is a natural biological process defined as the time that marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles. One of the symptoms that help to diagnose it is virginal dryness before age 40. Water-based vaginal moisturizers and lubricants like those used in live camgirls on Jerkmate may help. If the vaginal lubricant is not enough, a local vaginal oestrogen treatment like a vaginal cream, tablet or ring is still available.

Let’s note that menopause’s signs and symptoms can vary among women but most of the time a menopause period is announced or manifested by the following: Hot flashes, Chills, night sweats, mood changes, weight gain and slowed metabolism, loss of breast fullness, sleep problems, thinning hair and dry skin or irregular periods.

Often, menstrual periods will skip a month and return, or skip several months and then start monthly cycles again for a few months. When these signs appear, the best thing to do is to consult a Doctor.

One of the things that can lead to menopause is when a woman has an oophorectomy. This a surgery that removes the ovaries. Some diseases had lead some women to go through a surgery to remove their ovaries. Or some women, in quest of more sexual liberty without risks of pregnancy, deliberately choose to practice an oophorectomy.

Our ovaries produce hormones, like oestrogen and progesterone, that regulate the menstrual cycle. So an oophorectomy causes immediate menopause. The woman’s periods are stopped and she is likely to have hot flashes and experience other menopausal signs and symptoms which can be severe, as hormonal changes occur abruptly rather than gradually over several years.

Menopause can also be caused by a primary ovarian insufficiency. This is most like observed in the cases of premature menopause which, in 1% of cases, occurs before the age of 40. It comes from the failure of the ovaries to produce normal levels of reproductive hormones. It’s called an primary ovarian insufficiency. Unfortunately cause of premature menopause can be found. The only recommended treatment, is hormonal therapy at least until the natural age of menopause in order to protect the brain, heart and bones.

Another cause of menopause is chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Many know these ones as cancer’s treatment. But there may be a sides effects like menopause. But how? If radiation is directed at the ovaries, this radiation treatment may affects ovarian function. Besides, the halt to menstruation (and fertility) is not always permanent following chemotherapy. But, these treatment can induce menopause, causing symptoms such as hot flashes during or shortly after the course of treatment only if it’s directly applied on the ovarian function.
