A gynecologist specializes in treating conditions of the female reproductive system. Menopause is the ending of the menstrual cycle, which usually occurs between ages 40-55 as the body undergoes changes preventing pregnancy. The endometrium is the inner lining of the uterus with a rich blood supply that reacts to hormonal changes monthly and remains intact during pregnancy to nourish an unborn child.
