How does the menopause start?

Officially, a woman is considered to have passed menopause  if she has not had a period (menstruation) for at least 12 months. In the period before menopause, a woman is in a state of premenopause. This phase is characterized by a decrease in the production of estrogen and progesterone by the ovaries, while ovulation becomes less frequent.
