Menopause

Menopause is when menstrual periods permanently stop, typically diagnosed after 12 months without a period. It usually occurs in the 40s or 50s, with the average age being 51 in the U.S. This natural process happens when the ovaries stop producing reproductive hormones. Menopause can cause physical symptoms like hot flashes and emotional symptoms that may disrupt sleep, reduce energy, and affect mood.
