Menopuse

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

The average woman reaches menopause at 51 years old, but it can happen any time from your 30s to your mid-50s or later. This is the time in which your body makes natural changes and you stop having your menstrual period. Your body produces lower levels of estrogen and progesterone, and you may experience hot flashes or other symptoms. You have reached menopause when you have not had a period for 12 months in a row and there are no other causes for this change.
