Menopause
Menopause is a point in time 365 days after your last period. Menopause occurs naturally in humans who were born with ovaries between the ages of 46 and 55, averaging around 52 years old. You can experience menopause earlier if you have your ovaries removed and also if they are damaged by chemotherapy, radiation or other reasons.
