What is menopause?

A person's life is a process of continuous development and change. Different ages have different physiological characteristics and physical and mental characteristics. So, what is menopause? Do you know? Below we will introduce it in detail, hoping to be helpful to you.

Menopause is the transitional stage from maturity to aging. It is a physiological phenomenon that cannot be changed by human will and is the law of life activities. Aging is a common feature of all living things in nature, which is manifested in the degenerative changes in the morphological structure and physiological functions of organisms. For humans, menopause is the prelude to entering the old age stage.

A person's life, from the beginning of life to aging and death, goes through three major stages, namely childhood and adolescence, adulthood, and old age. Among these three stages, there are two transformation periods. One is the development period from childhood to adulthood, which is adolescence. The other is the transition period from middle age to old age, which is called menopause. What is menopause? For women, menopause refers to a transition period when ovarian function gradually declines from a vigorous state to complete disappearance, including menopause and a period before and after menopause.

Menopause is mainly manifested by endocrine dysfunction or imbalance, the most prominent of which is the change in gonadal function. This change, whether mild or severe, will cause a series of imbalances in the body, weakening the stability of the nervous system function and mental activity, thus leading to a decrease in the body's adaptability to the environment, making it more sensitive to various mental factors and physical diseases, resulting in mood swings, changeable emotions, and can induce a variety of diseases.

If you are mentally prepared and have a clear understanding of menopause before entering it, you can adapt psychologically to the adjustments in the internal environment of the body during menopause more quickly, thereby avoiding or reducing the occurrence of various symptoms, safely passing through menopause, and smoothly entering old age.

Now, I believe you have a better understanding of what menopause is. I would like to remind women in menopause to maintain a balanced mindset, adjust their mentality, and stay optimistic, so that they can successfully go through menopause.
