What is Menopause
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when her menstrual cycles stop.
It is a natural part of aging that typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.
Menopause is caused by the decline in the production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone by the ovaries.
The transition to menopause is known as perimenopause.
This period can begin several years before menopause and last until one year after the last menstrual period.
