Today is #WorldMenopauseDay

#Menopause is a natural stage of a woman's life when monthly menstruation, also known as periods, ends - marking the end of the reproductive years bit.ly/3gk5B4U

Most women experience #menopause between the ages of 45 and 55 years as a natural part of biological ageing, due to the loss of ovarian follicular function and a decline in oestrogen levels bit.ly/3gk5B4U

The menopausal transition can be gradual, usually beginning with changes in the menstrual cycle.

‘Perimenopause’ refers to the period from when these signs are first observed, ending one year after the final menstrual period bit.ly/3gk5B4U
