What happens during menopause?

What is Menopause?

Woman Symbol
When a woman reaches the age of about 45-50, levels of the hormones of estrogen and progesterone drop. These hormones are necessary for the menstrual cycle in that they signal the uterus each month to swell with blood and thicken walls in preparation for supporting conception of a child. Without these hormones, the uterus simply does not thicken or swell with blood, so the woman's menstrual flow becomes less and less until it stops.
