During the months or years before menopause, your body goes through many changes. Read on to understand these changes and what you can do about the symptoms that result.
When a woman permanently stops having menstrual periods, she has reached the stage of life called menopause. This stage signals the end of a woman's ability to have children.
Menopause occurs when you stop having periods for good. For many women, this happens around age 50. The time of change before this is called perimenopause. It may start in your late 30s or 40s, and can last for months or years.
