Menopause is a natural part of a women’s aging process when the ovaries get smaller and produce lower amounts of estrogen and progesterone that control the menstrual cycle. As a result, the eggs are depleted and fertility declines.

Early Menopause, occurs during certain events other than natural aging, such as after Hysterectomy, Oophorectomy, and as a result of Premature Ovarian Failure (due to genetic abnormalities, ovarian dysfunction, insufficient follicles or cancer treatments, etc.).
