An Overview of Menopause A Natural Stage That Can Happen at Different Times
Menopause is the natural biological process that causes your menstrual periods to end. For most females, it happens between the ages of 40 and 58. It is also possible to have premature menopause or induced menopause due to surgery or an injury to the ovaries.
Menopause is definitively diagnosed when you have not had a period for 12 consecutive months. Symptoms of menopause can vary widely from person to person, but it's common to experience things like lighter, less frequent periods, hot flashes, and weight gain during menopause. You may be able to find relief by treating specific symptoms.
