Female Menopause

Meaning

Female Menopause is the definitive clinical state marking the cessation of menstruation, biologically defined retrospectively after twelve consecutive months without a period, reflecting the final decline of ovarian follicular activity. This transition signifies a profound shift in the endocrine milieu, primarily characterized by sustained hypoestrogenism and altered gonadotropin feedback. Understanding this phase is crucial for mitigating associated long-term health risks.
