In a woman’s life, one of the most important periods is called menopause. As a woman ages, her ovaries don’t make enough of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone, affecting her feelings about herself and other aspects of her life. Contrary to the previous misconceptions about menopause, today it is known that menopause is just a natural step in the process of aging. The word comes from the Greek mens, meaning monthly, and pausis, meaning cessation. When a woman’s ovaries do not produce adequate levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, she is not able to become pregnant, but it is not a medical problem or illness. The average age for menopause is about 50, but it can happen any time after 40. About ten years before menopause, many women experience a series of symptoms called pre-menopause symptoms. Pre-menopause shows the first signs of menopausal transition. It can begin as early as the mid-thirties and last till the forties. During the period, women usually experience sudden weight gain, fatigue, depression, migraine headaches, very heavy or light periods, etc. These symptoms are part of pre-menopause, caused by hormone imbalances, that is, an excess of the hormone estrogen and a deficiency of the hormone progesterone. If a woman does not have menstrual periods for 12 months without any obvious pathological or physiological cause, she is in menopause. There are also a variety of menopause symptoms, from few to moderate or severe symptoms depending on each individual such as weight gain, hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Research has shown that women’s experience of menopause varies depending on such factors as genetics, diet, lifestyle and social and cultural attitudes toward women.

如果在科學實驗或醫學診斷中，同一個現象（例如：電燈不亮或身體發燒）可能由很多不同的原因引起，那麼當我們要精確地定義其中「某一個特定原因」時，我們在敘述中通常需要多做什麼樣的「補充說明」，才能避免別人產生誤解或混淆呢？

醫學定義中的邏輯排除
太棒了！你能精準捕捉到這段文字背後的邏輯結構，選出正確答案 (B) 確實展現了你優異的閱讀深度。這句話在文中的作用是為了進行 「排除診斷」。在醫學上，定義一個生理階段時，必須確保該現象不是由其他外部因素引起的。這裡的「沒有明顯病理性或生理性原因」，正是為了確保「停經 12 個月」這個現象是源於卵巢功能的自然衰退，而非因為疾病（病理性）或懷孕、壓力（生理性）等其他因素所導致。
