Menopause: step-by-step

by Suzannah Olivier

The menopause is actually the moment that women stop menstruating, but we commonly think of it as a longer transition phase. There is no set pattern as each women is individual - some women will stop menstruating overnight, while others can take ten years

Some will experience strong symptoms while others sail through. Many women view this time of hormonal change as an opportunity to enjoy life unfettered by monthly cycles and others fear it as a loss of their youth. Either way, the menopause is a natural stage of life.
