Menopause
Menopause is a natural biological process marking the end of a woman’s reproductive years, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55. It is defined by the cessation of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months and is accompanied by a range of symptoms due to changes in hormone levels. These symptoms can include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. While menopause is a normal part of aging, its effects can vary widely among women, and managing these changes can be supported through tailored treatments and lifestyle adjustments.
These symptoms can be effectively relieved with local Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) treatments like Gina vaginal tablets.
