There are many articles and blogs where writers (mostly women) talks about how to relieve menopause side effects or how to deal with the transition of this new process. This blog however, will speak about how it starts at a hormonal level and cellular level. I will demonstrate histology slides of the ovaries to show how it changes over time from puberty to being menopausal and I will explain the normal hormone cycle vs the menopause hormone cycle. I will also touch on different treatments that alleviate the symptoms of becoming menopausal. It is a very interesting transition and an important one in a woman’s life where every women deals with it differently physically and psychologically. I think, just like puberty, it should be embraced but maybe it is easy to say especially since I am not a woman.
