GlossaryMenopausal Status

stage of a woman's life marking the end of menstrual cycles

Menopausal Status refers to the stage a woman is in regarding menopause, which is the natural biological process marking the end of her menstrual cycles. It includes premenopause (the time leading up to menopause), perimenopause (the transition phase where symptoms like irregular periods and hot flashes occur), menopause (when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months), and postmenopause (the years following menopause). Understanding a woman's menopausal status is crucial for managing symptoms and health risks associated with hormonal changes.
