What is the cause of menopause?

Menopause is a natural biological process that occurs in women as they age. It is caused by a decrease in the production of hormones, specifically estrogen and progesterone, by the ovaries.

As a woman approaches her late 30s or early 40s, her ovaries begin to produce fewer eggs and less of these hormones, eventually leading to the end of menstruation and the onset of menopause.
