How to know when do women generally start menopause and how long does it last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Average age 51: Age 51 is the average age of the last menstrual period. "menopause" is a transition period, and the hormonal changes can vary over months to years. Some women begin this transition during their late 30s or early 40s. Blood tests with your gynecologist can determine if this is the case for you.
