Females have ovaries as males have testes. A female normally has two ovaries, the right and the left. Ovaries are expected to produce eggs and female hormones, related to usual menses until 46/47 years approximately, after which ovaries cease to function. The phase of menopause starts and many women begin to feel various kinds of adverse effects, which need proper gynecological consultation and treatment.

Ovaries produce eggs and female hormones, which are required for normal menses till 46 to 50 years of age. At this age, all eggs are finished and no more female hormones are produced. This results in menopause. The woman stops having menses even if she has an intact uterus.
