EDITOR'S PICK

Menopause is the permanent cessation of ovarian function occurring some time before the end of the natural lifespan. In human females, menopause usually happens more or less in midlife, signaling the end of the fertile phase of a woman&s life.

The word "menopause" literally means the "end of monthly cycles" from the Greek words pausis (cessation) and the word root men from mensis meaning (month), because the word menopause was created to describe this change (from reproductive to non-reproductive) in human females.

Additional symptoms related to menopause include things like acne, changes in skin tone, wrinkles and dryness, hair changes with dry or thinning hair, or changes in the character of the hair. For example, if the person&s hair was curly, it might be less so. Some women have difficulty with headaches, nervousness, anxiety, irregular heartbeats or palpitations, and urinary changes. Lastly, the vaginal dryness that is associated with menopause comes from vaginal atrophy and can cause pain and discomfort with sexual intercourse or sexual activity.
