Menopause, signs of menopause.
When a woman is close to 45-46 years old, her life begins to acquire previously unknown nuances. Although menstruation do not give a failure, and doctors even recommend the use of contraceptive drugs for contraception. In the reproductive system of female body gradually develops involution processes, at the result of which reduce the synthesis of sex hormones in the ovaries. Exact at this period a woman enters a time of menopause.
Menopause literally means “the complete cessation of menstruation”, however, gynecologists denote this condition by a fairly long period during which there occur various changes relating to cessation of ovarian function.
Conditionally menopause is divided into three phases:
pre-menopausal – the start time reduction of ovarian function before menopause
perimenopause – extends the period of pre-and postmenopausal, including a year after menopause
postmenopausal – life time after menopause to the old ages.
In other words, while menopause, the woman reproductive period becomes unproductive, i.e., gradually the woman loses ability to conceive and birth a child.
Quite often, with the beginning of premenopausal marked changes in the functional status of many organs and systems. Ovulation occurs less frequently, the development of progesterone slows down, and consequently, the duration of menstrual cycles varies considerably. A similar phenomenon during menopause can last for several months or several years.

The organism can individually respond to those or other changes in hormonal background – for example, someone will has a tendency to weight gain, and others, however, noticeably lose weight, and such manifestations of menopause set. They deliver a lot of unpleasant moments for women…but, however, we are strong goddesses, and we will be able to live out this moment!
