Abstract
This paper discusses questions frequently asked by menopausal women regarding body and affective changes associated with the menopause. Menopause as disease is contrasted with menopause as normal. Common menopausal changes and ways in which to deal with them are presented. Answers to some of the questions and concerns that women have cannot be found in the research done to date because of lack of unbiased research on the normalcy of menopause. Thus, this paper illustrates the need for woman-centered research to answer women-related phenomena.
