About Menopause
Menopause is sometimes called "the change of life” because it is the time in a woman's life when her period stops. It is a normal change in a woman's body. Menopause is reached when a woman has not had a period for 12 consecutive months (and there are no other causes, such as pregnancy or illness, for this change). Menopause often occurs when a woman is between the ages of 45 and 55.
