What is Menopause?
The menopause is when a woman stops having periods. This is the last menstrual period (LMP) more than 12 months ago. At menopause, the ovaries begin producing more testosterone and less estrogen, and their egg production shuts down. The menopausal transition affects each woman uniquely and in various ways.

Perimenopause means "around menopause" and refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years. Perimenopause is also called the menopausal transition.
Postmenopause: This is the time after a woman has gone through menopause. The symptoms that happen during menopause, such as hot flashes, may start to fade away but could continue for a decade or longer in many women.
At what age does a woman typically go through menopause?
Women typically go through natural menopause in their early 50s. The average age is between 51.
What Is Medical Menopause?
Medical or induced menopause is when a woman stops producing eggs and her menstrual cycle ceases prematurely due to certain medical treatments, such as chemotherapy and surgery. Unlike natural menopause, which can take years, this process either occurs over a short period of transition time or abruptly, depending on the cause. Likewise, the cause of medical menopause determines if it is temporary or permanent.
