Menopause in women is characterized by the inability of the body to ripen and release the ova, which is the primary function of the ovaries. Because of this, hormones are also not released that cause the cessation of the monthly period or menses. The hormones are known to create and shed the uterus lining. Menopause normally occurs to women in their late forties or early fifties.
Menopause symptoms and signs include: decreased fertility, irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disturbances, increased abdominal fat, loss of breast fullness, and thinning hair. Menopause can result from the natural decrease of reproductive hormones, hysterectomy, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, and primary ovarian insufficiency.
As a woman reaches her late 30s, the ovaries produce less progesterone and estrogen which regulates menstruation. As one reaches her 40s, the menstrual period changes which is mostly characterized by irregularity of the period. This change in the normal menstruation is the cause of menopause. Also, removal of the uterus and ovaries through surgery can cause menopause. Cancer treatments can also bring about menopause of up to 6 months of treatment. Genetic factors or autoimmune disease can also bring about early menopause. The ovaries fail to produce reproductive hormones at normal levels thus causing the onset of menopause in women.
Clinical trials, animal tests and toxicology did not show any significant effects on the use of Amberen although it is not recommended for patients having thyroid goiter and extreme types of uncontrolled arterial hypertension. Amberen is in capsule form and is advised to be taken for a full 90 days to be effective.
