Menopause

Menopause is defined as occurring 12 months after your last menstrual period and marks the end of menstrual cycles. Menopause can occur in your 40s or 50s. In the United States the average age is 51.
  • Menstrual changes
  • Vaginal discomfort
  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Sleep abnormalities
  • Mood swings
  • Weight gain
Your doctor may recommend blood tests such as:

  • Follicle­stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen (estradiol)
    • FSH levels increase and estradiol levels decrease as menopause occurs
  • Thyroid­stimulating hormone (TSH)
    • An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can cause symptoms similar to those of menopause
