Part of the book series: Women in Context ((WICO))

Abstract

Menopause is a very specific period of time in which the cessation of menses occurs. It is a diagnosis that can only be made retrospectively after one year has elapsed. The term “menopausal years” is actually a misnomer. What one usually means is the perimenopausal years which includes premenopause (that period of time leading up to the menopause), the menopause itself, and postmenopause (those years which follow the cessation of menses).7
