About this listen

Understanding Menopause. What Is Menopause? Menopause is a natural biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. It is officially diagnosed after 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, typically occurring between ages 45 and 55, with the average age being 51. However, menopause is not just a single event but rather a transition that can span several years. Why This Guide? Menopause affects approximately half the world's population, yet it remains surrounded by silence, misconceptions, and inadequate medical support. This guide aims to provide comprehensive, evidence-based information to help women navigate this transition with confidence and agency. The Historical Context. For much of medical history, menopause was pathologized or ignored entirely. Women's experiences were often dismissed or attributed to psychological factors rather than recognized as legitimate physiological changes. Only in recent decades has menopause begun to receive the medical attention and research it deserves.
