Menopause
Introduction
As women reach their late forties or early fifties, their menstrual periods generally become much less frequent and then stop. Sometimes called the ?change of life? or the ?climacteric?, menopause is not really a ?pause? ? a temporary interruption in menstruation. It is actually the time when menstrual periods end. Some women see menopause as a time for celebration; others dread the physical signs of aging; most treat it as a normal stage of life.
