Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years. During menopause:

1. Cessation of Menstruation: Menstrual periods stop, indicating the end of the woman’s ability to conceive.
2. Hormonal Changes: Estrogen and progesterone levels decline, leading to various physical and emotional changes.
3. Hot Flashes: Sudden, intense feelings of heat and sweating may occur.
4. Sleep Disturbances: Menopausal women may experience difficulty sleeping.
5. Mood Changes: Hormonal fluctuations can contribute to mood swings and irritability.
6. Bone Density Changes: Reduced estrogen levels may impact bone health, increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

Symptoms and experiences can vary, and lifestyle changes, hormone therapy, or other treatments may be considered for managing menopausal symptoms.
