Menopause

Introduction: The menstrual cycle (Period Cycle) continues under the influence of two hormones named Estrogen and Progesterone in women's bodies.

Dryness of the eyes, face, and skin may also be noticed. Then when estrogen secretion stops altogether, menstruation also stops altogether. Menopause is the beginning of a new chapter of sour honey in a woman's life. Menopause should be understood only if there is no period for 12 months 1 in 100 women experience premature menopause before the age of 40.
