Brief Summary

Menopause is a natural process in women's life with hormonal fluctuations that cause physical and emotional symptoms such as(Hot flashes, insomnia, physical in activity, unstable mood, difficulties in memory and concentration, anxiety, stress, irritability, unstable body mass, sexual dysfunction, feelings of sadness, infertility, and depression).

Balance disturbances are common in the community as a whole and increase in frequency with age. The risk of falling increases from age 45 in women and peaks in the 55-59-year age group. Around the time of the menopause, estrogen production decreases dramatically and bone loss accelerates, which predisposes for fractures if a fall occurs.
