Hypoestrogenism: It refers to the lowered secretion of the natural female sex hormone known as estrogen. It is an umbrella term that is used for estrogen deficiency in various conditions. Its abnormalities may lead to infertility, bone loss, and lipid abnormalities.

Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis means the bone has become porous. It is a disease in which too much bone is lost in the body, and the body makes relatively little bone. As a result, bones become weak and can break easily if you fall.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): It is a treatment to relieve symptoms of menopause. It replaces hormones that are at a lower level as you approach menopause.

Dysmenorrhea: It is an irregular and painful period leading to abdominal pain, digestion problems, fainting, vomiting, and nausea. Generally, a menstrual cycle is about 25-30 days. But this cycle may be short or prolonged in dysmenorrhea, leading to excessive pain.

Menopause: Menopause occurs when a woman between 45 and 55 has not had a period for 12 months or more. However, some women may also experience menopause before 45 years or after 55 years. It occurs due to decreased production of estrogen hormone. The change in levels of other hormones such as progesterone, luteinizing hormone and the follicle-stimulating hormone is also observed during menopause. It causes symptoms such as hot flushes, vaginal dryness, insomnia (sleeplessness), weight gain, reduced sexual desire, sore breasts, hair loss, unwanted hair growth, headache and urinary tract infections.
