As a woman enters menopause, her ovaries gradually cease producing estrogen and progesterone, hormones that play a vital role in regulating menstruation and fertility. This decline in hormone levels triggers a cascade of physiological changes that can manifest as a wide array of symptoms. "Menopause The Commonsense Approach" meticulously examines the common symptoms associated with menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Dr. Smith delves into the underlying mechanisms behind these symptoms, providing a clear understanding of what is happening within the body.
