How can Menopausal problems be treated at home
It is a gradual biological process, culminating in the cessation of ovulation and menstruation. Ovaries start producing less estrogen and progesterone hormones, and the menstrual periods may become irregular or unusually light or heavy. Eventually ovulation becomes less frequent and stops. Once the supply of estrogen decreases markedly, heart attacks and osteoporosis (bone thinning disorder) cases increase.
