WHAT DOES POSTMENOPAUSAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

postmenopausal

Menopause

Menopause is the cessation of a woman's reproductive ability, the opposite of menarche. Menopause is usually a natural change; it typically occurs in women in midlife, during their late 40s or early 50s, signalling the end of the fertile phase of a woman's life. Menopause is commonly defined by the state of the uterus and the absence of menstrual flow or "periods", but it can instead be more accurately defined as the permanent cessation of the primary functions of the ovaries. What ceases is the ripening and release of ova and the release of hormones that cause both the build-up of the uterine lining, and the subsequent shedding of the uterine lining. The transition from a potentially reproductive to a non-reproductive state is normally not sudden or abrupt, occurs over a number of years, and is a consequence of biological aging. For some women, during the transition years the accompanying signs and effects can be powerful enough to significantly disrupt their daily activities and sense of well-being. In those cases various different treatments can be tried. Medically speaking, the date of menopause is the day after the final episode of menstrual flow finishes.
