Menopause Testing
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when menstruation stops permanently. Menopause is usually a gradual process, but it can occur suddenly in some cases. The ovaries begin to produce less hormone. The reduced amount of hormone causes menstrual periods to become irregular. Eventually they stop completely. Menopause can also suddenly occur when the ovaries are surgically removed. Most women go through menopause between ages 45 and 55. In the US the average age for menstrual periods to stop completely is 51.
