Abstract
Perimenopause is a period of age-related decline in ovarian function, mostly after age 45, including premenopause and one year after menopause or 2 years after the last independent menstruation. Menopause is the last independent menstruation due to the function of the reproductive system. The date of menopause is set retrospectively, that is, after 12 months of no menstruation. Menopause occurs on average around the age of 50.
