title: Endocrinology of menopause.
abstract: Menopause is a natural process that occurs in women's lives as part of normal aging. Many women go through the menopausal transition with few or no symptoms, while some have significant, or even disabling, symptoms. This manuscript reviews the physiologic processes and symptoms connected with menopause and the diseases associated with menopause, as well as how menopausal symptoms are managed.
