Recognizing Menopause Triggers

Many women seem to feel anxious about menopause — partly because they don’t have any choice.
“It is a necessary evil you have to go through,” said Dr. Robert Ogdee, obstetrician/gynecologist of Abilene Regional Medical Center.
But women may feel some relief when they understand the transition their bodies are going through physically and emotionally.
“What is happening is the ovaries are not producing any estrogen, so the brain is trying to tell the ovaries to kick in and produce more estrogen because they are not popping out an egg anymore,” Ogdee explained. “It is the quitting of ovulation every month that is the reason they do not pop out an egg or have a cycle, which is the true cause of menopause.”
