Menopause - Correct Answer is the permanent cessation of menses occurring as a
result of loss of ovarian hormone production. It is retrospectively defined as the absence
of menses for 1 year due to hyper gonadotropic hypoestrogenism.
*Menopause*

women experience menopause between the ages of 45 to 55 years. - Correct Answer
-Although the average age at which menopause
occurs is stable worldwide, it is influenced in individuals by genetic predisposition and
any events that reduce the ovarian follicle pool.
-Premature menopause or premature ovarian failure is defined as the permanent
cessation of menses occurring before 40 years of age as a result of loss of ovarian
function.
-Menopause can be spontaneous or induced by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or

changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Clinically, a woman may notice
menstrual cycle changes and *symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats.*
Physiologically, there are wide fluctuations in follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
secretion and estradiol production. - Correct Answer 2. On average, the per
menopause occurs for 4 years prior to menopause. Although hormonal
changes occur, not all women will experience changes in their menstrual pattern. In
