Chinese Medicine: Looks Deeper! Chinese Medicine sees Menopause Very differently. The focus is more that the Symptoms indicate Imbalances that need to be addressed.
TCM sees Menopause Symptoms as Blood and Fluid Deficiency. Estrogen Production is High when there there is enough Spare Blood to have a Period. I personally, have seen Young Women Skip Periods after Heroically Donating Blood!

The menstrual cycle is a constant reminder of our connection with nature and can reveal to us both the status of our health and our relationship with ourselves. As society has changed and women’s roles have diversified, the female body has also adapted. Women now experience far more menstrual cycles due to the trend of having later and fewer pregnancies. It was not too long ago that women would fall pregnant soon after their first period and breast feed their babies for as long as two years, which meant that they only had a few cycles between pregnancies.

Menopause is the stage in a woman’s life when the menstrual cycle stops. This is not a disease; rather it is a natural process in a woman’s life. However, the stage when a woman has her menopause could be a very painful and mentally debilitating stage. There could be several complications.
From an Ayurvedic point of view, menses is the flow of excess pitta from the woman’s body. Menses is called as Raja in Ayurveda. For this reason, the stoppage of the menses flow permanently, i.e. menopause is called as Raja Nivrutti, which literally means retirement of menses.

Menopause is the end of menstruation. The word comes from the Greek mens, meaning monthly, and pausis, meaning cessation. Menopause is part of a woman’s natural aging process when her ovaries produce lower levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone and when she is no longer able to become pregnant.
Unlike a woman’s first menstruation, which starts on a single day, the changes leading up to menopause happen over several years. The average age for menopause is 52. But menopause commonly happens anytime between the ages of 42 and 56.
