Menopause Causes: Understanding What Triggers the Change

Menopause is a natural phase of life, but the reasons why it begins and why it may start too early are not always clear. While every woman's body follows its unique rhythm, several underlying factors influence the onset of menopause. If you are trying to make sense of the changes in your cycle, understanding the causes of menopause can help you take the following steps with clarity and confidence.

At Dr Batra's®, we believe in empowering women with the proper knowledge and support. Our holistic homeopathic care is designed to address the root causes of menopause naturally and gently.

Common Causes of Menopause

The natural decline of reproductive hormones is the most common reason for menopause. As a woman approaches her late 30s and 40s, the ovaries begin producing less estrogen and progesterone, the hormones that regulate menstruation. Eventually, menstruation stops altogether, usually by the early 50s.

Other contributing causes include:

• Genetics: A family history of early menopause may increase your chances of experiencing it sooner.
• Lifestyle Factors: Smoking has anti-estrogen effects that may trigger earlier onset.
• Body Mass Index (BMI): Estrogen is stored in fat. Women with lower BMI may have fewer estrogen reserves, leading to earlier menopause.
• Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like thyroid disorders can impact ovarian function and lead to premature menopause.
• Epilepsy: This neurological condition may affect the hormonal balance due to brain-ovary connection.

What Triggers Early Menopause

While menopause usually occurs around age 50, some women experience it earlier due to specific health or medical conditions:

• Primary Ovarian Insufficiency:Around 1% of women go through menopause before the age of 40 without an apparent medical reason.
• Surgical Removal of Ovaries: A total hysterectomy (removal of uterus and ovaries) causes immediate menopause.
• Cancer Treatments: Chemotherapy or radiation therapy may damage ovarian tissues, leading to early menopause.

Understanding the reasons for early menopause facilitates timely diagnosis and supportive care.

Homeopathy for Menopause Causes

Homeopathy works by gently stimulating the body’s natural hormonal balance and addressing underlying causes, such as stress, thyroid imbalance, or genetic predispositions.

How Homeopathy Helps:

• Regulates hormonal fluctuations
• Reduces premature ageing of ovarian function
• Manages autoimmune-related symptoms
• Offers safe, long-term support with no side effects

Our expert doctors design individualised treatment plans based on your unique health history, symptoms, and diagnostic results.

What Should You Do Next?

If you are noticing irregular periods, hot flushes, mood swings, or changes in energy levels, do not ignore them. These could be signs of hormonal imbalance or early menopause. Here is what you can do:

• Include calcium-rich foods and add soya to your diet.
• Track your menstrual cycle and symptoms
• Avoid smoking and maintain a healthy weight.
• Get your hormone levels tested.
• Consult a menopause specialist for early support.0

Taking action early can help you manage menopause smoothly and reduce discomfort. With expert care and the right support, this phase can be a healthy and empowered transition.
