Menopause, illustration
Illustration of genitalia and brain in an older woman, illustrating the hormonal changes during menopause, leading to the absence of ovulation and the end of periods. The ovaries respond less and less to FSH and LH secreted by the hypophyse, ovulation becomes less common. The level of inhibin, oestrogen and progesteron secreted by the ovary decreases, decreasing the negative retrocontrol of FSH and LH, whose secretion increases, which causes hot flushes.
