Menopause is defined as a woman’s last menstrual period. The average age of menopause is 51. A woman is considered postmenopausal when she has not had a period for 12 consecutive months.
Each woman’s transition into menopause is different. Some women have mild, early menopause symptoms. Other women find the quality of their lives significantly affected by changes in mood, memory, and productivity, and by uncomfortable physical symptoms.
