A member asked:

What is the earliest age that a woman can reach menopause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: If you are talking about natural menopause, without any other factors, typically it is 51-54. If you throw in smoking, then subtract about 5 years. There is a condition called premature ovarian failure, however, where women can enter menopause in their 20's or 30's. Why do you ask?
