or your mom can tell you.
Menopause refers to the gradual stopping of monthly ovulation (eggs coming out of the ovaries) and menstruation (shedding of the lining of the uterus, if fertilization does not occur). Over a period of time, this signals the end of the woman's ability to have a baby.

I hope this helps a little more. Thanks for asking.
