Menapose

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

Menopause is the time in a woman's life in which she stops having her period. Although it is the time of your last period, symptoms can begin several years before your last period and last for months, or even years, thereafter. Changing levels of estrogen and progesterone during this time period may lead to symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, and changes in bleeding patterns. Menopause often happens between the ages of 45 and 55.
