At what age do women stop menstruating?

Women will have their first menstruation when they enter puberty. Similarly, women will go through menopause when they reach the age of 45 to 55. However, the actual age at which women reach menopause is affected by several factors. Some women don't go through menopause until after age 60.

What factors affect the age of menopause in women?

1. Abnormal diet structure

The dietary structure of modern people is completely inseparable from high-calorie food, high-salt, spicy, fried, etc. The intake of this kind of food can easily cause obesity. Long-term intake of these foods by women, in addition to causing obesity, is also very likely to affect the body's estrogen, causing hormone disorders, and thus affecting the time of menopause.

2. Great psychological pressure

Women not only have to do housework, but also have to work hard. Therefore, women today generally have a lot of psychological pressure. This can easily affect the menstrual period and cause menstrual disorders. When women in menopause have menstrual disorders, it is very easy to affect the time of menopause.

3. Poor sleep

Getting enough sleep is very important for physical and mental health. Especially for female friends, if they can ensure enough sleep on a daily basis, the female hormones in their bodies will be in a normal state. Normal female hormones can protect the uterus and ovaries. Once you have poor sleep or rest, it will easily affect the metabolism of growth hormone, which in turn affects the age of menopause in women.

4. Ovarian abnormalities

A woman's age of menopause is related to whether her ovaries are normal. If there is an abnormality in the ovaries, the number of eggs stored in the body will decrease, which can easily lead to early menopause. Therefore, if female friends want to menopause at a normal age, they need to protect their uterus and ovaries.

Most women are around 50 years old. Generally, women are in menopause (premenopause) from around 45 years old, which lasts for 2-4 years before entering menopause. This stage is also the menopause of women. Of course, menopause can only be called menopause after menopause lasts for 1 year. The middle and late menopause lasts for 6-8 years. All women's menopause can last for 8-12 years.

The decrease of estrogen in women during menopause can cause: shrinkage of male reproductive organs, less secretion in women, dryness of the body, obvious discomfort during sexual intercourse, symptoms of osteoporosis such as pain in the waist, limbs and joints, dyslipidemia, hypertension, coronary heart disease and other symptoms. Women in menopause are prone to gynecological diseases such as gynecological malignant tumors, so women at this stage are recommended to increase their checkups.
