Menopause is a natural process that takes place when the ovaries age and produce fewer reproductive hormones.

For a woman, bleeding for 5-6 days in a month is common and necessary to flush out waste blood from her body. Periods start between the age of 13 to 14. Once a woman enters her mid-forties, she is likely to start experiencing symptoms of menopause. This is a normal process that takes place from the age of 45 to 50 years. A woman enters her menopause 12 months after her last period. Sometimes, women do not understand the difference between menopause and normal periods. Due to this, they end up facing a lot of health problems.

Menopause is a natural process that takes place when the ovaries age and produce fewer reproductive hormones. During this period, the body goes through many changes. One of the notable changes is the loss of active ovarian follicles. Ovarian follicles are the structures that produce and release eggs from the ovary wall, allowing menstruation.
