Menapausal

Were you looking for information about Menopause? Menapausal is a common misspelling of menopause.

As you approach menopause, you may begin to menstruate less frequently and experience hot flashes and other bothersome symptoms. This is a normal part of life and is as natural as puberty. These symptoms may occur as a result of your body producing less estrogen and progesterone (female hormones). A woman has officially reached menopause when she has not had a period for 12 months in a row and there are no other causes for this change.
