Menopause is a natural transition that all women experience as they age. It refers to the point when a woman stops menstruating permanently and no longer releases eggs from her ovaries. On average, most women reach menopause around the age of 51.

This time leading up to menopause is called perimenopause. Some women breeze through “the change” with ease, while others find their symptoms seriously disrupt their quality of life.
