How do we approach menopause?
During menopause, a woman's ovaries stop releasing eggs. The body produces less of the female hormones (estrogen and progesterone), as well as testosterone, melatonin, and others. This decrease in hormone levels in the blood is the cause of the physical, social, and psychological symptoms of menopause.
