Menopause (Cessation of Menses)

Menopause marks the end of woman's reproductive life. This normal phenomenon usually occurs in late forties or early fifties but may occur much earlier or later.

For most women, this transition from fertile to infertile life is smooth and uneventful. However, a few women suffer from distressing symptoms like hot flushes causing warmth in the face and ears, sweating, undue fatigue, headaches and inexplicable mood-changes.
