Menopause is simply one of several phases in the reproductive life of a woman. Menopause or the permanent end of menstruation and sterility is a natural biological process but not a medical illness. Generally menopause is merely the name given to the last menstrual period.

Menopause before the age of 40 is known as early menopause. Hormonal changes cause the physical sign of menopause however mistaken beliefs about the menopausal transition are partly to blame for the emotional ones. The menstrual blood is partly tissue and partly blood from inside the uterus or womb and it draws out of the body through the vagina.
