Understanding The The Essentials Of Menopause

Menopause is a natural process in which menstruation ceases forever and a whole array of unfamiliar symptoms begin to take place. Menopause is the dawn of a new era in a woman’s life. Therefore, almost every woman entering menopause is filled with questions and concerns.

Menopause is simply the phase in a woman’s life when menstruation ends. It is a normal and natural life process - the aging of the female organs – brought on by the gradual loss of estrogen and progesterone. Menopause is defined retrospectively - it is when one year has passed without a period. The average age for menopause is 51-52, but your body starts preparing for menopause years in advance.
