  1. What Are Some Common Problems That Present Themselves after Menopause Menopause refers to the absence of menstrual periods for a period of 12 months and signals the functional cessation of a woman’s ovaries.Although the process happens differently for every woman, the average age of menopause is 51 years.

With menopause, comes a drop in oestrogen, which interferes with liver function. Instead of replenishing healthy cells, the liver starts to produce scar tissue. •Autoimmune Problems Mood swings are a normal part of menopause, and are usually triggered by seesawing hormones. Occasionally,

The meibomian glands are the glands responsible for producing an oily film over the eyeballs, and their compromised function can lead to increased water evaporation and in turn, more dryness and discomfort. •Sleep Apnoea Studies show that menopausal women face more than 3 times the risk of sleep apnoea than premenopausal women. Sleep apnoea tends to arrest breathing for several seconds during sleep and can increase the chances of diabetes, stroke and other conditions.
