Understanding Menopause

What is Menopause?

Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles. It's diagnosed after you've gone 12 months without a menstrual period. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51.

Causes

Menopause is a natural biological process caused by the decline of reproductive hormones as you age. However, it can also be triggered by surgeries like hysterectomy or treatments like chemotherapy.
