Mifepristone cannot induce menopause. Mifepristone has the effects of promoting menstruation and preventing early pregnancy; it can cause fetal demise through medication, thereby achieving the purpose of abortion. Women generally experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. Prior to menopause, menstrual irregularities may occur due to endocrine disorders, which can be regulated by taking motherwort.
