According to the technical definition, menopause is the absence of a menstrual period for 12 months. But more generally, the word menopause is used to describe the changes that take place in a woman's body as she approaches the end of her reproductive years. Every woman experiences menopause differently, but the most common symptoms include:

• Vaginal Dryness – More than one quarter of women age 50 and older
  develop irritating, recurring dryness.
• Hot Flashes – 75% of menopausal women experience hot flashes.
• Sleep Disturbances – 61% of menopausal women suffer from
  disruptions in their sleep patterns, including night sweats.
• Changes in Mood – The irritability associated with menopause is often
  caused by sleep deprivation.
• Vaginal Infections – 75% of women will experience a yeast infection
  at least once in their lives, often as a result of menopause.

There are many things a woman can do to treat the symptoms of menopause. They include exercising, eating right, and getting enough sleep. They also include using the complete Me Again line of products to treat symptoms naturally and effectively – during menopause and beyond.

And speaking of beyond, it’s also important to realize that menopause is associated with a loss of estrogen. As a woman ages, the loss of estrogen poses a number of health risks, including osteoporosis, heart disease, poor bladder and bowel function, deterioration in vision, and more. So regular check-ups become more important with each passing year.
