Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the climacteric period in women, the production of estrogen gradually drops, which leads to the cessation of menstruation and other physical and emotional changes. The other choices are incorrect because the production of estrogen does not increase, menstrual cycles do not get longer before stopping altogether, and there is no evidence to suggest that reproductive organs increase in size during this period.
