Menopause
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
When menstrual cycles become irregular and certain changes appear, it helps to understand this process: menopause is the stage in which a woman permanently stops menstruating, marking the end of the reproductive years. It is a natural process, not a disease, associated with the decline of female hormones.
How it presents: It is often accompanied by hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness.
When to seek care? An evaluation is worthwhile when symptoms affect quality of life or with unusual bleeding after menopause.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the professional who guides this stage and advises on options to cope with the discomfort; the endocrinologist may take part in hormonal aspects. Consulting a specialist helps you go through this transition with greater well-being.
