What is the age at which women enter menopause?

Women become very restless when they reach a certain age. This is something that may happen to every woman, and that is menopause. So many people are wondering, at what age do women enter menopause? Health care knowledge should also be promoted to the families of menopausal women, mainly their husbands, to help them understand the symptoms that women may experience during menopause. Once certain symptoms of neurological disorders appear, they should be given care, comfort, encouragement and sympathy. Below, the editor will introduce to you the age stages of female menopause.

Most women will experience physiological changes of varying degrees during this period, and the specific manifestations will vary at different ages:

Around 30 years old

The main manifestations are skin changes, enlarged pores, rough, dull, loose skin, acne and spots on the face;

30-40 years old

At this time, endocrine disorders, irregular menstruation, sagging breasts, and a significant decline in sexual desire begin to appear;

40-55 years old

Psychological and emotional abnormalities occur, sleep quality is reduced, insomnia, dreaminess, night sweats, irritability, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, feeling powerless, extremely sensitive, and symptoms of osteoporosis occur;

Over 55 years old

The ovaries are severely atrophied and the kidney function is much worse than before. After menopause, half of women will experience hot flashes, palpitations, heart palpitations, abnormal mental and neurological symptoms, and back pain.

1. When does a woman enter menopause?

The transition period when a woman's ovarian function gradually declines from an active state and eventually stops functioning at all is what we usually call menopause. During this period, women will slowly transition from sexual maturity to old age, and will go through three stages in sequence: premenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. In terms of time span, it is two to five years before menopause to several years after menopause. At this time, women will experience a series of changes both physically and psychologically. Most can get through this smoothly, but a few will experience conditions that affect their physical and mental health.

2. Why do women have menopause?

The main reason for menopause is the significant deterioration of ovarian function, which leads to hormonal disorders.

1. The ovaries become smaller and no longer ovulate. At this time, estrogen secretion decreases, leading to ovarian degeneration, and may also cause coronary heart disease, hypertension, cerebrovascular accident or other senile mental illnesses.

2. The stimulation for the growth of epithelial cells, smooth muscle and connective tissue is reduced.

3. The autonomic nervous system is unstable. This is also the main reason why latent menopause occurs before real menopause.

4. The function of the cerebral cortex is affected and emotions become abnormal.

5. Increased osteoclast reabsorption leads to osteoporosis.

Based on the editor's article, I believe everyone will have a certain understanding of menopause at that age. Menopause will cause irregular menstrual cycles, prolonged menstrual periods, increased menstrual flow, and even heavy bleeding or continuous bleeding, which will then gradually decrease and stop. Less commonly, menstruation stops suddenly. Because the ovaries do not ovulate, estrogen levels fluctuate, making endometrial cancer more likely to occur. For patients with abnormal bleeding, a diagnostic curettage should be performed to rule out malignant transformation. Therefore, it will still cause many gynecological diseases, so everyone should pay special attention. I hope the editor’s article can help everyone.
