Gengnianqi

Meaning

Gengnianqi is the Mandarin Chinese term that translates to the climacteric, most commonly referring to the period of menopause in women. It represents the natural, physiological transition phase marked by the gradual decline and eventual cessation of ovarian function and reproductive capacity. This phase is characterized clinically by significant fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone levels, leading to a spectrum of vasomotor, psychological, and metabolic symptoms. It is a critical period requiring comprehensive hormonal and lifestyle support.
