The Gary Null Menopause/Andropause Study

Menopause can be defined as the conclusion of the female reproductive phase of life. In most women, the onset of menopause occurs between the ages of 45 and 50, but it has been known to occur anywhere from age 40 to 60. In addition, menopause can be provoked at an earlier time due to uterine ovarian surgery, or certain types of illnesses. Menopause is characterized by the decreased functioning of the ovaries, which results in reduced quantities of the hormone estrogen in the body. Not just a discrete event, menopause is actually a process, one that lasts several years, or even a decade.
