In a woman’s life, one of the most important periods is called menopause. As a woman ages, her ovaries don’t make enough of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, affecting her feelings about herself and other aspects of her life. Contrary to the previous misconceptions about menopause, today it is known that menopause is just a natural step in the process of aging. The word comes from the Greek mens, meaning monthly, and pausis, meaning cessation. When a woman’s ovaries do not produce adequate levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, she is not able to become pregnant, but it is not a medical problem or illness. The average age for menopause is about 50, but it can happen any time after 40. About ten years before menopause, many women experience a series of symptoms called pre-menopause symptoms. Pre-menopause shows the first signs of menopausal transition. It can begin as early as the mid-thirties and last till the forties. During the period, women usually experience sudden weight gain, fatigue, depression, migraine headaches, very heavy or light periods, etc. These symptoms are part of pre-menopause, caused by hormone imbalances, that is, an excess of the hormone estrogen and a deficiency of the hormone progesterone. If a woman does not have menstrual periods for 12 months without any obvious pathological or physiological cause, she is in menopause. There are also a variety of menopause symptoms, from few to moderate or severe symptoms depending on each individual such as weight gain, hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Research has shown that women’s experience of menopause varies depending on such factors as genetics, diet, lifestyle and social and cultural attitudes toward women.

當你看到作者提到一個變化會同時影響一個人的「內在感受」以及「生活中的各個面向」時，你會認為這個變化的影響力是侷限在單一的身體器官內，還是會延伸到一個人的整體狀態中呢？
