What is menopause?

Menopause begins when your ovaries stop making estrogen and slow down making other reproductive hormones, such as progesterone. Without these hormones, you stop getting your period and are unable to get pregnant.

Symptoms can include:

  • Hot flashes
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Insomnia
  • Mood changes

We can help.

Every person experiences menopause in different ways. At Planned Parenthood, we understand that although menopause is a normal, natural health process, its symptoms can be confusing and disruptive.

If you’re between 45 and 55, you haven’t had your period in a year, you aren’t pregnant, and you don’t have a serious illness, you may be going through menopause.
