Menopause is more than a passing change:
it is a condition needing active care.
Menopause refers to the stage when ovarian production of female hormones declines with age. Menopausal symptoms are the most common reason women at this stage seek medical care. These systemic changes arise from reduced female hormones and mark a stage of age-related change.
