PY - 2016 T2 - Williams Gynecology, 3e AB - The typical “mature woman” is aged 40 years or older and has completed childbearing. During their late 40s, most women enter menopausal transition. Detailed in Chapter 21, this period of physiologic change due to ovarian senescence and estrogen decline is usually completed between ages 51 and 56. Menopause marks a defining point in this transition and is defined as the point in time of permanent menstruation cessation due to loss of ovarian function. Clinically, the menopause refers to a point in time that follows 1 year after cessation of menstruation.
