What is menopause<\/strong>
\nNatural menopause occurs when the ovaries stop producing oestrogen, and finish releasing eggs that may be fertilised by sperm to result in pregnancy. The change in hormone levels means the uterus (womb) no longer prepares itself for pregnancy each month, which is why periods no longer occur.
\nMenopause is something that is going to affect all women once they reach the age of around 50 and, not surprisingly, it will affect their partners as well.The first thing to say about menopause \u2013 and this is extremely important \u2013 is that it is not a disease or an illness or something you can catch.
\nMenopause is a part of life. For most it is a release from the monthly grind of dealing with periods. It is different for every woman.
