    Glossary Postmenopausal Women

    females who have permanently stopped menstruating

    Postmenopausal women are females who have gone through menopause, the stage in life when menstrual periods permanently cease, typically occurring between the ages of 45 and 55. This phase marks the end of a woman's reproductive years and is characterized by a significant drop in estrogen and progesterone levels, which can lead to various physiological changes, including an increased risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
