Question

When does menopause start?

Answer 1

The age at which a woman starts having menstrual periods is also not related to the age of menopause onset. Most women reach menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, but menopause may occur as earlier as ages 30s or 40s, or may not occur until a woman reaches her 60s.

Answer 2

Menopause starts around age 51 when it happens naturally but it can happen before you turn 40. This is called premature menopause. The age at which yours will start is mostly determined by your genes.
