Menopause and Weight Gain

Menopause is only one of several stages in the reproductive life of a woman. Menopause, or the permanent end of menstruation and sterility, is a natural biological process, not a medical illness. Menopause is simply the name given to the last menstrual period. Menopause before the age of 40 is termed 'early menopause. Hormonal changes cause the physical symptoms of menopause, but mistaken beliefs about the menopausal transition are partly to blame for the emotional ones.
