about menopause

Menopause should be called "Graduation". When you were just a little girl, life was easy and simple, and then you became a woman. Estrogen coursed through your body, you became fertile, with monthly periods. You had children, or perhaps didn't.

But now, you've paid your dues. You've been there and done that. The estrogen that was gushing through your system is diminishing, and the body is adjusting. 
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with the level of elderly women. A woman who experienced natural menopause at all can not know whether a particular time period is really a last menstrual until one year has passed. Menopause is sometimes referred to as the change of life. This condition is also found in several other species that experience such cycles, such as rhesus monkeys [1] and a number of cetaceans [2]
When menopause is approaching, the cycle can occur in times of uncertainty and it's not unusual if menstruation does not come for several months. At the age of forty, some hormonal changes associated with pre-menopause begins. Research has shown, for example, that at the age of forty years many women have experienced changes in bone density and at the age of forty-four years much menstrual becoming fewer or shorter time than usual, or even more numerous and / or more long. About 80% of women began to irregular menstrual cycles. In fact, only about 10% of women stop menstruating altogether without previous prolonged cycle irregularity. In a study involving lebh than 2,700 women, most of them experiencing pre-menopause transition lasts between two to eight years.
Unless the person experiences a sudden menopause due to surgery or medical treatment, pre-menopase can be considered as the end of a process that originally started when a woman's first menstruation. First menstrual period is usually followed by a five-or seven-year cycle is relatively long, irregular and often not accompanied by the formation of the egg. Finally in the late teens or early twenties, the length of the cycle is becoming shorter and more regular when women reach peak childbearing age, which lasted for about twenty years.
In the forties, the cycle began to elongate again. Although most people tend to believe that twenty-eight days is a normal cycle length, research has shown that only 12.4% women really have a cycle of twenty-eight days and 20% of all women experience irregular cycles.
