Menopause is a point in time 12 months after a woman's last period. The years leading up to that point, when women may have changes in their monthly cycles, hot flashes, or other symptoms, are called the menopausal transition or perimenopause.

Although treatment is available to everyone, you should check in with your obstetrician-gynecologist and ask all kinds of questions, before you would like to choose to treat your symptoms, or not.
Some women don't have any trouble with menopausal symptoms and may even feel relieved when they no longer need to worry about painful periods or getting pregnant. For other women, the menopausal transition can bring hot flashes, trouble sleeping, pain during intercourse, moodiness and irritability, depression, or a combination of these symptoms.
