Problems encountered during menopause
Menopause is one of the milestones of change in a woman's life. It appears on average around 45-55 years of age and is characterized by the “cessation of the activity of the ovaries (they no longer secrete estrogen and progesterone) and the definitive cessation of menstruation” according to Larousse.
