Menopause is a similar existing term that is "the date of onset of menopause", which is very difficult to specify. Menstrual status would be a more general term.

Make the definition more general (studies of females, rather than studies of female urbiome). Move the CV out of the current definition and into a list field.

@lakarstens will work on the definition wording.

Proposed new definition: Menstrual or estrous status of host or organism, if applicable (e.g studies of female sex).

Still identifying appropriate controlled vocabulary.
