    Glossary Menopausal Women

    women who have stopped menstruating for 12 consecutive months

    Menopausal women are those who have reached the stage in life, typically around the age of 45-55, where they experience the cessation of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months, marking the end of their reproductive years. This phase, also known as menopause, is characterized by a decline in estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and changes in hair density and texture.
