Solution

Menopause

The reproductive period in females lasts from the onset of menstruation (menarche) around 13 years to the stoppage of menstruation (menopause) around 45-50 years.

Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation that results from the loss of ovarian function and therefore represents the end of a woman’s reproductive life.
