Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles, signifying the transition from reproductive to non-reproductive phase. Typically, menopause is diagnosed after a woman has gone 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period.

This phase generally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but can vary for each woman. Menopause is a normal part of aging and can significantly impact a woman's life in various ways.
