A member asked:
Is it really the case that the earlier you start your periods the later you reach menopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It has no correlation of early onset of period with the menopausal age. Menopause age has considerable genetic components. If your mother has early or late menopause, most likely you will have the same pattern.
