Climacteric refers to the phase of ageing in which women change from being able to fall pregnant (reproductive phase), to no longer being able to reproduce, and experiencing menopause. This phase includes the perimenopause, although it extends for a longer variable period before and afterwards. When the climacteric is associated with symptoms, it may be termed the "climacteric syndrome".
