Menopause usually happens at around 50. It is a natural process, unavoidable and cannot be postponed. Nowadays, more women around the world are living with menopause because the growing population of elderly people especially women.

After stop having periods a woman may experience some of these symptoms: pain in the muscles and joints, fatigue, losing libido, wrinkled skin, hot flushes, depression, sweating, insomnia, problems to concentrate. This condition also happens a few months before the periods finally stopped. This period is also called climactery. This can be happened due to the decrease of estrogen, a vital hormone in a woman. This hormone has many functions.

Estrogen helps the body keeping its tissue healthy, such as keep the skin smooth and tight, also keep the eye bright and shining. it also helps the deposition of calcium to the bone that make the bone stronger.

When a menopause comes, a woman loses those vital functions. She may experience all or some of those symptoms above. Not only the woman, her husband will also have some problems, because the wife will lose her libido, and somewhat the vagina become dried (dry vagina). But we should not really worry about this condition. In the periods of climactery or even menopause, woman can have hormone replecement therapy (HRT). This therapy would help the woman passing through the period easily.

An HRT also helpful for the woman at young age who had to lose her uterus for some reasons. The lack of estrogen production is replaced by the teraphy. The preparation is given orally daily.
