Menopause signifies the end of menstruation in a woman’s life.  It is a natural physiological transition that occurs in a woman’s life when the ovaries cease to function to produce estrogen and progesterone.

Some women do not experience any discomfort during this phase while other women experience various range of symptoms due to the changes in hormone level during menopause.
