Menopause is the process women go through as they age wherein their ovaries stop producing estrogen. Estrogen regulates the menstrual cycle and affects the urinary tract, heart, blood vessels, bones, breasts, skin, hair, mucous membranes, pelvic muscles, and emotional state of women. Some women experience minimal symptoms and discomfort when the production of their estrogen slows, while others may experience many unpleasant symptoms.
