The decrease in eggs leads to a decrease in the production of sex hormones, which include estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
Most women can tell if they are approaching menopause when their periods start changing.
Menopause is confirmed when a woman has not had menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months. The Jones Institute has been instrumental in many of the menopause-related investigations, including studies using Premarin, Prempro, and various other forms of hormonal replacement therapy. Our services include management of menopause for breast cancer survivors and patients with osteoporosis and other disorders. The Jones Institute for Reproductive Medicine. All Rights Reserved.
