What is Menopause (women)?

Menopause is a normal condition that all women experience as they age
"The end of a woman's reproductive period"

Natural menopause is the permanent ending of menstruation that is not brought on by any type of treatment or medication.

Menopause is the point when it has been a year since a woman has her last menstrual period. At this stage, the ovaries have stopped releasing eggs and producing most of their estrogen.
