If you look at the origins of the words, you'll see they have nothing to do with "men" being the males of the human species. That's just an unfortunate (for men) coincidence.
The prefix "meno-" comes from the Greek word meno which means month. Meno-pause signals the end of the monthy cycle.
Menstruate comes from the Latin word, menstruatus, meaning 'monthy course' (Note: That's 'course', not 'curse'!)
Similarly, the word 'semester' to describe a school term comes from 'semenstris' which literally means 'six month duration'.

You haven't to consider female -Period and Menopause- as two problems and they aren't for the most part of men anyway!
Period only is a short time when women aren't fertile and usually are less aroused. Menopause only is the stop of the Period with again a loss of libido, but despite men get nothing like, with the age there however is a loss of libido for men too!
