Why Does Menopause Occur?
Menopause is a natural biological process that happens when the ovaries age and all the antral follicles are depleted. As a result, ovulation stops and reproductive hormones like estrogen, progesterone, FSH, and LH decline.
In some women, menopause may occur earlier due to medical reasons such as:
Surgical removal of the ovaries
Hormone therapy, surgery, or radiotherapy for ovarian tumors
Pelvic radiation
Severe pelvic injuries that damage the ovaries
