What is menopause?
Menopause is the cessation of menstruation. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but the most common cause is aging.

When a woman has gone 12 months without having a period, she is considered to be in menopause.

It is a natural process that all women go through as they age. Second, menopause usually occurs in women who are between the ages of 45 and 55. Some women may start to notice changes in their bodies in their early 40s, while others may not experience any changes until they are well into their 50s. There is no one right or wrong way to experience menopause.
