    GlossaryMenopause (Climacteric)

    natural end of menstrual cycles and reproductive years

    Menopause, also known as the climacteric or the "change of life," is the natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles and reproductive years. It is diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period and typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. This transition is associated with a decline in the production of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and vaginal dryness.
