Menopause

Menopause is a condition all women experience with age. Menopause involves the absence of the menstrual period for 12 months and the cessation of ovulation. It marks the end of menstruation and fertility within women, and hormonal changes are what cause the symptoms of menopause. It is important to consult with one's doctor in the long-term absence of the period, as he/she can properly determine if you are going through menopause or happen to be pregnant. It is also important for women to seek out their doctor if they should experience vaginal bleeding after menopause.
