Menopause officially begins

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstruation for 12 consecutive months. This typically occurs around the age of 51, but can vary. The presence of symptoms like hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats may indicate that a woman is going through menopause, but the official diagnosis is based on the absence of menstruation for a year. The slowing down of menstrual cycles may be a sign that menopause is approaching, but it does not signal the official beginning of menopause.
