The word "menopause" means the "end of monthly cycles" a Greek word pausis (cessation) and the root men- (month), because the word "menopause" was created to describe this change in human females, where the end of fertility is traditionally indicated by the permanent stopping of monthly menstruation or menses. Natural menopause occurs when the ovaries naturally begin decreasing their production of the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone. Menopause is not a disease that needs to be cured, but a natural life-stage transition.

Menopause signals the end of fertility. It generally occurs between age of 45-55.

The official definition of the word menopause is "the period in a woman's life (typically between 45 and 50 years of age) when this occurs."
