menopause

The final menstruation of a female
Menopause is defined as the end of a woman's monthly menstrual periods The ovaries produce hormones (including estrogen and progesterone) throughout the childbearing years of a woman's life After about age 40, as hormone levels decline, a woman may begin to notice irregular menstrual periods Periods stop when the ovaries produce low levels of hormones or almost none at all Menopause occurs either naturally or surgically (often referred to as a hysterectomy)
the last menstruation (period) of a woman The natural menopause commonly occurs between the ages of 45-55 A woman is considered to be in the menopause when 12 months have elapsed since her last period
A gradual decline in function of the ovaries reduces estrogen production. Ovulation becomes irregular and gradually ceases. The length of the menstrual cycle and periods may vary; flow may lessen or increase. Adjustment of the endocrine system to estrogen reduction causes hot flashes, often at night, with a warm sensation, flushing, and sweating; other symptoms, such as irritability and headaches, may be related more to reactions to aging. Removal or destruction of the ovaries to treat disease causes artificial menopause, with similar but more sudden effects. Changes in hormone balance usually cause no physical or mental disturbances. However, the protective effect of estrogen against osteoporosis and atherosclerosis is lost, and risks of fracture and coronary heart disease increase
the cessation of menstruation Menopause may be due to hormonal changes, surgery or drug use Natural menopause typically occurs between 45 and 60 years of age; women with HIV may experience early menopause
