What is Menopause?

Menopause is the natural biological transition marking the permanent end of a woman's menstrual cycles and reproductive capability, officially diagnosed after twelve consecutive months without a menstrual period, typically occurring around age 45 to 55. It results from the natural decline in ovarian function and the resulting drop in estrogen and progesterone production, leading to a range of physical and emotional symptoms during the preceding transitional period known as perimenopause. While a normal part of aging rather than a disease, the hormonal changes of menopause can meaningfully affect quality of life and increase long-term risk of certain conditions like osteoporosis and heart disease.
