Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's menstrual cycles. It typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. As a woman approaches menopause, her ovaries begin to produce less of the key hormones - estrogen and progesterone - needed to regulate menstrual cycles.

These symptoms are a result of declining hormone levels in the body. Once a woman has gone 12 months without a period, she has officially reached menopause.
