Paastusperiood

Paastusperiood, also known as the post-menopausal period, refers to the time following menopause, which is the natural cessation of menstruation in women. This phase is characterized by a variety of physiological and psychological changes. During paastusperiood, the body undergoes significant hormonal shifts, with a decrease in estrogen and progesterone levels, and an increase in the hormone prolactin. These changes can lead to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and changes in mood and sleep patterns. The duration of paastusperiood can vary greatly among individuals, with some women experiencing symptoms for a few years, while others may continue to experience them for decades. It is important to note that paastusperiood is a normal part of aging and does not necessarily indicate a health problem. However, it is recommended that women consult with their healthcare providers to discuss any concerns or symptoms they may be experiencing.
