The menopause is the time when a woman’s body becomes incapable of producing children due to the lack of the necessary hormones. Ordinarily the menopause is experienced between the ages of 45 and 55, though some women do undergo the menopause earlier or later. When the menopause happens before its natural time due to surgical removal of the woman’s ovaries or due to other treatments this is known as a /medical menopause.
