What is the normal age for menopause?

Every woman has her first menstruation every month. Some children have their first menstruation when they are seven or eight years old. People often say that such children are smarter. In fact, this is just a saying. Most girls have their menstruation when they are around 15 years old. Menstruation can sometimes be very painful for women. Therefore, the issue of at what age menopause occurs has attracted much attention from women. Recently, many women have asked about this issue. In fact, having menstruation also proves that your body is great. So today let’s talk about at what age menopause occurs.

Generally speaking, as women age, their body functions decline, especially their ovarian function gradually degenerates. Most of them lose their basic ovarian functions around the age of 50, and their ovaries stop ovulating once a month. We call this female menopause. Generally speaking, premature menopause is more dangerous for women. Statistics show that women who experience menopause before the age of 40 have a nearly 40% higher risk of death than women who experience menopause after the age of 45, 60% higher than women who experience menopause after the age of 50, and 90% higher than women who experience menopause after the age of 55. Because of this, many women try every means to delay and postpone the age of menopause, which is of vital importance to women's health.

Studies have shown that the age of menopause in women varies greatly from person to person. Generally speaking, the most important factor that determines the age of menopause in women is the number of oocytes. When every baby girl is born, her ovaries have approximately one million oocytes. As she ages, the number of oocytes in her body gradually decreases. When the number of oocytes decreases to a critical number, menopause will occur, which is the menopausal age for the woman. Data show that the average menopause age for women in different regions varies. It is 52 years old for women in Europe and the United States, 50 years old for women in Asia, and 48 years old for women in Africa. In addition, the average menopause age for women in dry and cold areas is earlier than that for women in warm and humid areas; the average menopause age for women in high-altitude areas is earlier than that for women in low-altitude areas.

Generally speaking, women who are short, underweight, and malnourished will reach menopause 3-4 years earlier than women who are strong, well-nourished, and of moderate weight; women with chronic wasting diseases, endocrine abnormalities, and metabolic disorders will reach menopause earlier than healthy women of the same age; women with disharmonious sex lives, unhappy marital relationships, and long-term depression will also reach menopause relatively early.

So, when do most women go through menopause? When is it normal for women to go through menopause? Statistics show that approximately 95% of women will experience menopause before the age of 55, but some may not experience menopause until around 60 years old. Generally speaking, if a woman has passed the average age of menopause but has not yet reached menopause, and has normal cycles, normal menstrual volume, and no obvious discomfort symptoms, it is mostly normal and there is no need to worry too much. To a certain extent, delayed menopause indicates that the ovarian function is still good, which is beneficial rather than harmful to ensuring the endocrine balance of women and delaying the aging of important organs of the body.

After reading the above information about the age at which people go through menopause, you should have an idea in your mind. I hope more women will read it and save it. It will be of great help to you in the future. Some women may go through menopause early due to physical weakness or various reasons. So everyone should be very careful. If any accident happens, please contact your doctor in time, listen to the doctor's instructions and reduce unnecessary harm. Women should always keep this in mind. I hope you will have a better body.
