2. Regarded as the absence of periods for 12 months in a row.

3. Occurs when there are no more eggs in the ovaries capable of ovulating

4. The average age of reaching menopause is 51, but only God has the final says on this as it can either come before age 51 or after age 51.

5. Sharp drop in estrogen is the main cause of symptoms, i.e. hot flashes, brain fog, thinning hair, low energy, etc.

6. Menopause is a natural process with treatments that focus on symptomatic relief.

7. The final menstrual period marks menopause, and everything after is postmenopause.
