Menopause
Menopause, also known as menopause, is a natural phase in a woman's life cycle. It marks the end of the fertile years, and the transition to a new phase of life. Menopause usually starts between the ages of 45-55, although it can vary from person to person.

Symptoms and treatment
The symptoms of menopause can appear long before periods stop – in fact as much as ten years before. The changes often occur in the 40s. Many women may find the symptoms bothersome, and wonder what treatments are available.
Incontinence
Menopause involves a number of hormonal and physical changes in the body, and as many as eight out of ten women experience more or less discomfort during this period. A relatively common problem is urinary leakage (incontinence), although it is not talked about that much.
Sexual health and menopause
In menopausal women, sexuality is affected by a number of changes in physical, psychological, social and emotional conditions. The low level of estrogen after menopause causes the lining of the vagina to become thinner and drier, which can cause discomfort during intercourse.
