Dr. Zhao TCM Help Menopause!
• Menopause is the
permanent end of
menstruation.
• It can have a big impact
on a woman's wellbeing
such as physical
upheaval from hot
flashes, night sweats,
and other problems
such as heart disease
and osteoporosis.
What Causes Menopause?
• Age is the leading cause
of menopause. the
ovaries gradually slowing
down their function.
• Certain surgeries and
medical treatment can
induce menopause. Those
include surgical removal
of the ovaries (bilateral
oopharectomy),
chemotherapy, and pelvic
radiation therapy.
When Does Menopause Start?
• On average, women are 51 at
natural menopause, notes the
National Institute on Aging.
• A few women start menopause as
young as 40, and a very small
percentage as late as 60.
• Women who smoke tend to go
through menopause a few years
earlier than nonsmokers.
• Acupuncture stop smoking.
• It's only after a woman has
missed her periods for 12 straight
months, without other obvious
causes, that menopause can be
confirmed
Before Menopause, Perimenopause
• Natural menopause happens
gradually. The transition to
menopause is called
perimenopause.
• During perimenopause, the
periods may become more
unpredictable and the ovaries
are still functioning and
ovulating, though not
necessarily on a monthly basis.
• Menopause is a milestone -it's the day that marks 12
months in a row since a
woman's last period.

a woman's menstrual
periods will likely change.

together, if you have heavy
bleeding or spotting, and if
your periods last more than
a week.

arms.
