menopause
Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles. It typically occurs in women around their late 40s to early 50s and is characterized by a decrease in reproductive hormone levels, particularly estrogen and progesterone. This hormonal shift leads to various physical and emotional changes, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and changes in menstrual patterns. Once menopause is complete, women are no longer able to conceive naturally.
