A menopause in women, is the cessation of
reproductive ability, characterized by
menstruation (see menstrual cycle) becoming
irregular and eventually ceasing. The onset
is at about the age of 50, but varies
greatly. Menopause is usually uneventful, but
some women suffer from complications such as
flushing, excessive bleeding, and nervous
disorders.
