The change of life

 Menopause describes the last menstruation, which generally occurs between the age of 46 to 52 years.  Afterwards the ovaries cease functioning, and the production of  estrogen comes to a stop. 

A period of change

During menopause, various changes occur in the life of a woman; changes in work, in her family, and in her love life. It is a phase of possible crises as well as opportunities.  A characteristic of this phase of life is that a woman becomes increasingly conscious of the limits of her own competence. She has passed the zenith of her physical capabilities, and as a rule her career development is completed.
