Menopause is a natural biological process that all women go through as they age, but it can be a difficult and uncomfortable transition.
And while it is often associated with hot flashes and mood swings, there's a lot more to menopause than meets the eye.
Did you know it can also increase a woman's risk for heart disease, osteoporosis and other health conditions.
There's so much ongoing research - and even treatment options. Yet, the condition is shrouded in mystery and stigma.
