What is Menopause?

Hello, my name is Doctor Susan Jewell and on behalf of Expert Village, I want to talk to you today about how to recognize and to live with menopause, but before I start, I want to introduce myself. I'm a clinical research physician, both in the area of oncology and AIDS/HIV. I've trained at the National Cancer Institute and at UCLA School of Medicine. Now, in this first clip, I'm just going to give you a definition of menopause. Menopause means there's a decrease in the body's production of estrogen. Estrogen is a natural hormone found in women and is produced by the ovaries. At a certain stage in a woman's life cycle - usually around the late forties and fifties - the production of estrogen drops and that's when you're going to get the - what we would recognize or say - the menopausal signs and symptoms, which we will discuss in detail.
