Menopausal Symptoms

Meaning

Menopausal Symptoms are the constellation of physical, vasomotor, and psychological manifestations experienced by women due to the significant and permanent decline in ovarian estrogen and progesterone production following the cessation of menstrual cycles. These clinical signs can range widely in severity and duration, commonly including vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and mood disturbances. They represent the body’s physiological response to the loss of reproductive endocrine function.
