Description

Menopause is one point in a continuum of life stages for women and marks the end of their reproductive years. After menopause, a woman cannot become pregnant, except in rare cases when specialized fertility treatments are used. Most women experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55 years as a natural part of biological aging. The menopausal transition can be gradual, usually beginning with changes in the menstrual cycle.
