Etymology

The term "menopause" comes from the Greek words 'men' meaning 'month' and 'pausis' meaning 'pause'. The concept of menopause as a defining phase of life has been recognized for centuries, although it wasn't until the 19th century that it was formally studied in the field of medicine. Over time, understanding of menopause has evolved, leading to better awareness and management of its symptoms. As medical science progressed, the significance of hormone levels during this phase was highlighted, allowing for improved treatments and support for women experiencing menopause. Today, menopause is better understood and discussed openly, promoting a more positive approach to aging.
