Abstract
Since ages females are looked upon as daughters, wives, mother, and comrade. She plays all the vital roles with great efficiency. In our country,when a girl reaches puberty, talking to her about the changes that would take place in her body is still considered a taboo. When the girl matures and enters the role of a wife, she is then expected to take care of her family and husband and satisfy everyone’s needs and demands. As age advances she again reaches an important stage that brings many changes in her physical and mental state, the MENOPAUSE stage. She is unaware of the happenings and is in a stage of dilemma. The word itself is a stigma and not a much openly discussed topic. Every woman in her journey of life, when reaches late 40s becomes a victim of menopause. At this stage the woman starts ageing, catches fatigue and complains of low energy. The menstrual cycle becomes irregular, hormonal variations occur, depression, mood swings become common and women are now exposed to a host of new diseases, of which diabetes ,hypertension and cancer are very common. Many women neglect this phase and become victims. Support of every family member and society is needed. But it is very alarming and surprising that this much needed support is missing. The society does not want to hear this silent suffering voice of women. This paper is an attempt to create awareness about it and help women lead a happy, normal life after her menopause.
