The Causes of Menopause

A woman’s ovaries are responsible for a multitude of functions: from producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone to releasing eggs (Ovulation). It is also a crucial organ in conducting her period and menstrual circles.

Menopause ensues when the ovaries no longer release an egg every month, thus, stopping menstruation. Though menopause is a regular part of ageing, some women may experience menopause quite early and prematurely. The causes behind such premature menopause could be manifold: removal of ovaries by hysterectomy, damage to the ovaries, chemotherapies and others.

What Causes Premature Menopause?

Multiple factors can contribute to premature menopause, such as genetic disorders, immune system disorders or other pre-existing medical histories.

Some miscellaneous causes include:

1) Premature Ovarian Failure
If your ovaries prematurely suspend releasing eggs before the age of 40, the condition is called: premature ovarian failure. While premature menopause is irreversible, premature ovarian failure might not be a permanent condition.

2) Induced Menopause
According to the opinions of the best Gynaecologist doctors in Birati, induced menopause results when the doctor surgically removes your ovaries for myriad medical reasons, such as uterine cancer or endometriosis. Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can often damage your ovaries and kick-start menopause.

3) The Symptoms of Menopause
