Menopause/Mid-life Health

Menopause is referred to as the period of time when a woman's hormone levels begin to change. Menopause is said to be complete when menstrual periods have ceased for one continuous year. Menopause can occur at any time between ages 40 - 55. UK Reproductive Endocrinology offers expert management of menopause symptoms.

Symptoms of menopause include, but are not limited to:

• "Hot flashes" and night sweats- increase in the skin's temperature and/or the heart rate
• Relaxation of pelvic muscles
• Vaginal atrophy - drying and thinning of tissues in the vagina and urethra
• Hair growth
