Menopause

Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation, but it is not commonly diagnosed scientifically until a year after a woman's menstruation stops.

Many women experience symptoms including hot flashes at this time, irregular menstrual cycle, sleep disorders, vaginal dryness, hair loss, restlessness and mood swings, short-term memory loss and exhaustion. The onset of perimenopause is caused by changes in the levels of hormones in the female body that regulate the menstrual cycle.

Therefore, FSH testing to help determine if a woman is in the perimenopausal stage. When a woman knows she is perimenopausal, she can take appropriate steps to maintain a healthy body and avoid the health risks associated with menopause, which include osteoporosis, elevated blood pressure and cholesterol, and increased risk of heart disease.
