MENOPAUSE: UNDERSTANDING THE TRANSITION

​

Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It typically happens between ages 45 and 55, though some experience it earlier or later. Menopause is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.

​
