Menopause:
What Is It?
Menopause is not a disease, but
rather the point in a woman's life at which she is no longer fertile, and
menstrual periods have ceased. Menopause can be accompanied by physical
symptoms in some women, like hot flashes or night sweats. It can also be seen
as a positive beginning of a new phase of life, with opportunities to take
preventive action against major health risks.
