Menopause, also referred to as the "change of life," is the point at which a woman stops ovulating and menstruation ceases, indicating the end of fertility. When a woman stops ovulating, her ovaries largely stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is commonly thought of as a sex hormone tied to reproduction, but it also acts on many different organs in the body. Cells in the vagina, bladder, breasts, skin, bones, arteries, heart, liver, and brain all contain estrogen receptors for normal cell function.
Estrogen is needed to keep the skin smooth and moist, the body's internal thermostat operating properly, and the arteries unclogged. It is also necessary for proper bone formation.

Although estrogen levels drop sharply after menopause, the hormone does not disappear entirely. Other organs take over from the ovaries and continue to produce some strogen and other hormones. The organs known as endocrine glands secrete hormones to maintain proper bodily functions. The adrenal glands (small organs on top of each kidney) continue to make estrogens, as does fat tissue. But the ovaries have produced the greatest share of the body’s estrogens for decades, and when they quit, the blood levels of estrogens drop dramatically.

The menopausal period is different for each individual woman. Some start earlier and some later, but the average age at menopause is about fifty. The transition (perimenopause) can take any where from a few years to an average of about 5 years. Some women have perimenopausal symptoms for 10 years or longer before menopause finally occurs.This is the point (the begining of perimenopause) when the daily use of Gamma-O for Her is recomended. A woman who undergoes a hysterectomy but who keeps at least one of her ovaries stops menstruating after surgery, but she will still go through menopause. If the ovaries are removed during hysterectomy, menopause occurs suddenly, and symtoms may be more severe.

Some women go through menopause with few or noticeable symptoms. However, many women experience short-term or acute symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, anxiety, depression, poor libido, bladder problems, vaginal dryness and itching, burning and discomfort during sexual intercourse, breast tenderness, dryness and aging of the skin, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and insomnia. All of these symptoms are due to estrogen and progesterone deficiency.This is where the use of Gamma-O for Her may be extreamly effective. Over the long term, the diminished supply of estrogen increases the likelihood of cardiovascular disease,
osteoporosis, and vaginal atrophy. Osteoporosis in particular is a major problem for women after menopause. An estimated 80 percent of the 250,000 hip fractures that occur in the United States every year are due to osteoporosis.

It is important to remember that menopause is not a disease. It is a natural process in a woman's life. How a woman views this time of her life can have a lot to do with how frequent and severe her symptoms are. If menopause is viewed as the end of youth and sexuality, this time will be much more difficult than if it is viewed as the next, natural phase of life. With a proper diet, the use of Gamma-O for her, and exercise, most of the unpleasant side effects of menopause may be minimized, if not eliminated.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES

• Menopause cannot be avoided, but its effects may be controlled or moderated with the use of Gamma-O for Her.
• Japanese women generally experience far fewer symptoms of menopause than do Western women. An article in the British medical journal The Lancet reported that the reason may be that Japanese women consume more phytoestrogens (plant estrogens). These estrogen-like compounds are found in foods such as soybeans, tofu, miso, flaxseeds, pomegranites, and dates. When these substances are eaten, they act like the estrogens produced in the body.

Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation. This occurs as early as age 40 or as late as age 55 and usually spans 1 to 2 years. It is normally diagnosed in females after 1 year of absent periods. Menopause is only one event in the "climacteric," a biological change in all body tissue and body systems that occur in both sexes between the mid-40's and mid-60's. Menopause occuring before age 40 is termed premature and may need medical evaluation for the cause.
