Massage Therapy for Menopausal Syndrome
Menopause is the last menstrual (monthly) period in
a woman’s life. It is a natural occurrence and marks
the end of the reproductive years, just as the first
menstrual period during puberty marked the start.
You know that the menopause has taken place if you
have not had any bleeding for 12 months.
Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45
and 55, the average being around 50. Menopause
before the age of 40 is called ‘premature
menopause’.
Hormone levels fluctuate as menopause approaches.
As you approach menopause, the production of
hormones (for example oestrogen) by the ovaries
starts to slow down. However, hormone levels
fluctate up and down and you may notice changes in
your menstrual cycle:
Cycles may become longer, shorter or totally
irregular
Bleeding may become lighter
Bleeding may become unpredictable and heavy (seek
advice from your doctor).
Eventually your hormone levels will fall to a point
where menstruation (periods) will cease altogether
and the menopause is reached.
Although fertility after the age of 45 is low, contraception is needed (even if only barrier contraception) until you have had one year without a natural period.
