Answer 1

Menopause happens when your ovaries run out of eggs.

It can happen between about 35 and 70.

When you are born, you have all the eggs you will ever have, Eggs that are fertilized by sperms become babies.

TV is stupid, do your research. Women need to be empowered about their lives and their own bodies. Claim your power.

Answer 2

It's menopause...women may hit it in their mid to late 40's and onward (or if they've had a hysterectomy)...and yes, it is when our female organs stop their regular cycle and we become unable to bear children...

Really touchy? That depends on the woman...remember TV isn't real and they will often exaggerate things for television for drama or humor...some side effects of menopause are mood swings and hot flashes, among other things...

...but some women barely know they are going through it...hormones in our bodies change, and can cause these side effects and symptoms, but there are some meds and hormone replacement therapies that can help reduce or eliminate them...

By the time you're going through it, it may not be a big deal anymore...

Hi,
Menstruation is a process during which women normally shed the lining of the uterus at regular intervals under the influence of the female sex hormone, oestrogen. At about the age of 45 to 50 the ovaries stop making oestrogen and the withdrawal of the hormone results in stoppage of the monthly menstrual periods. This is called menopause and it happens naturally to all women sooner or later but may also be induced if the ovaries are removed or stop functioning for any other reason.

The majority of women will observe some symptoms during menopause, but the intensity of these varies in different women.


Irregular bleeding - Menstrual periods have three normal patterns of stopping: they may suddenly stop, they may come on time, but keep reducing in the quantity of flow till they finally stop or they may keep getting delayed till they finally stop. Heavy or frequent periods are NOT normal.
Hot flushes - This is the most prominent symptom. There is a sudden sensation of heat that spreads to various parts of the body, particularly the face. Flushing and sweating may occur. These flashes of warmth last a few seconds or minutes. These are more common in the first few years after menopause but may continue for many more years. If they occur very frequently, they can be the cause of social embarrassment. These flashes may be brought on in hot and humid weather, by drinking caffeine or alcohol or eating spicy foods.
Vaginal thinning and dryness - Due to oestrogen withdrawal, the vagina becomes thinner and dry. This makes sexual intercourse painful. There may be associated itching and irritation. Regular sexual intercourse may help keep the vagina moist and toned.
Mood changes - Women become irritable and anxious around menopause. There may be loss of memory and concentration and lack of energy. Depression may also be present. These symptoms may not be a direct effect of oestrogen withdrawal, but may be compounded by career pressures, sexual inadequacies and loss of fertility and body image.
Sexuality - Several factors adversely effect the libido or sex drive. Besides the mechanical factor of vaginal dryness that makes intercourse painful, mood fluctuations and lack of energy all contribute to a poor sex drive.
Osteoporosis - Bones become thin, weak and are more likely to break. This happens because the oestrogen that helps reduce bone absorption is no longer available. Osteoporosis is more likely in Asian women, and those that are slim built. Cigarette smoking increases the risk of developing osteoporosis.
Heart disease - Women lose the protective effect of oestrogen in preventing heart disease after menopause. They then become susceptible to heart attack as much as men. This risk is increased if the woman is obese, has high blood pressure or diabetes, smokes cigarettes and does not do any physical activity regularly.

this can start in your 30's. My friend i 60 years old and she still is going through menopose. It all depends on the female body, I know that being on the pill increases your age to get menopose.
