Why do periods stop when you get old I need a detailed paragraph bc I have a test TOMMORROW and I’m freaking the hell out

In menopause, which occurs in older women, periods stop forever! During the menstrual cycle, the body is preparing the uterus just in case an egg is fertilized. If that happens, the woman will not get her period because that buildup of tissue and blood will be needed as the baby develops.

Explanation:

Menopause is the time that marks the end of your menstrual cycles. It's diagnosed after you've gone 12 months without a menstrual period. Menopause can happen in your 40s or 50s, but the average age is 51 in the United States.
