Herpes is not a single disease but a large family of viruses. More than one hundred herpesviruses are known today, although only some of them are capable of infecting humans.

Menopause is a natural physiological process in a woman’s life, characterized by the definitive cessation of menstrual cycles and reproductive function. This is a period when the ovaries stop producing eggs, and hormone levels such as estrogen and progesterone decrease.

Menopause officially occurs after a woman has missed menstrual cycles for 12 consecutive months. This usually happens between the ages of 45 and 55, although the individual onset of menopause can vary. If menstrual periods cease for any other reason (pregnancy or contraceptive use), it is not considered menopause.
