The menstrual cycle and menopause are intrinsically linked as stages of the female reproductive system, where the cycle is regulated by hormones that eventually cease production during the transition to menopause [1], [2]. The menstrual cycle's regularity is directly impacted by the onset of menopause [3], [4], ultimately leading to the permanent cessation of the cycle as hormone levels decline [5], [6].
