Menopause, which signifies the end of a woman's reproductive years, is one step in a continuum of life stages. A woman cannot conceive after menopause, with the possible exception of rare circumstances in which specialist fertility therapies are employed. The menopause occurs naturally in most women between the ages of 45 and 55 as a result of biological aging. Loss of ovarian follicular function and a decrease in blood estrogen levels lead to menopause. Changes in the menstrual cycle typically precede the menopausal transition, which might happen gradually. The term "perimenopause" describes the time frame beginning when these symptoms appear and ending a year following the last menstrual cycle. The effects of perimenopause on one's physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being might endure for several years. A range of non-hormonal and hormonal interventions can help alleviate premenopausal symptoms. Menopause can be a consequence of surgical or medical procedures.
