Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It typically occurs in women around the age of 45-55, when the ovaries stop producing eggs and the levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones decline. This leads to a cessation of menstrual cycles and various physical and emotional symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. Research in the area of menopause aims to better understand the hormonal changes and physiological impacts that occur during this stage of a woman's life. This includes studying potential treatments and therapies to alleviate the symptoms of menopause and improve overall quality of life for women experiencing this transition. Additionally, research may explore the long-term health implications of menopause, such as increased risk of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. Overall, the goal of menopause research is to provide evidence-based interventions and support for women during this significant life stage, helping them to navigate the physical and emotional changes associated with menopause.
