How old is a woman when she reaches menopause?

The age of menopause for women is generally around 48 to 50 years old. Menopause is caused by the physiological depletion of eggs in a woman's ovaries. The main manifestations in the short term are menstrual disorders, unstable vasomotor function, and neuropsychiatric symptoms; in the medium and long term, the main manifestations are abnormal urogenital function, osteoporosis, endocrine system diseases, and recurrent urogenital infections.

The most significant change before and after menopause is ovarian decline, followed by a decline in hypothalamic-pituitary-hypophysial function. Estrogen levels are generally low, while follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone levels are high.

Menopause is a stage that a woman must go through in her life. There is no need to feel worried or sad about it. It is something that every woman must go through.

Generally, women in the menopausal period have the following similarities and symptoms

1. The age of menopause in women varies greatly, with the average age being around 51 or 52. Most women go through menopause around the age of 50, but some may go through menopause in their 30s, and some women may not go through menopause until they are 60.

2. Even if you still have your periods, you may experience some symptoms that are only associated with menopause. Generally, you may experience menopausal symptoms two years before menopause. This stage is called menopause, which usually occurs two years before menopause and the first year after menopause. Women in menopause experience significant fluctuations in female hormones. Therefore, women may experience hot flashes and changes in their menstrual cycles during this period. The menstrual flow may suddenly become much heavier or less than before; the menstrual cycle may shorten or lengthen, or there may be no menstrual period in some months. Although women's fertility decreases during menopause, they can still become pregnant.

3. Hot flashes may occur before menopause. Although not every woman experiences hot flashes around the time of menopause, according to statistics, about 80%-85% of women will experience hot flashes during menopause and after menopause. The severity and frequency of hot flashes are different for everyone. Women with a higher body mass index (BMI) and earlier menopause have a higher frequency of hot flashes and night sweats. Here are some simple and clear ways to relieve this discomfort: wear clothes that are appropriate in thickness, avoid drinking alcohol and eating irritating foods, and eating soy foods or black sesame extract may help alleviate the symptoms.
