Menopause

Natural biological process marking the end of a woman's menstrual cycles and reproductive years. Typically occurring in women in their late 40s to early 50s, it is diagnosed after 12 months without a menstrual period and can cause symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep problems due to hormonal changes. Menopause primarily affects women transitioning out of their reproductive years, and treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage its symptoms.
