    GlossaryMenopause

    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.
