Approximately the average age of a woman at the onset of menopause is 52 years. Basically, these women stop menstruation from 45 to 55 years. On average, five women out of every 100 continue to go menstruating regularly after 55 years. And for every eight women out of a hundred, the natural menopause begins before the age of 40.
According to these statistics, it is clear that almost every woman has an age, when the climatic period begins. This age is determined solely by your genotype, and it has nothing to do with when the first time you started menstruating. Therefore, you can assume that the climacterium will begin almost at the same time as yours, your mother and grandmother.
If the ovaries have been surgically removed or severely affected by chemotherapy or radiation, then you will immediately have a climax at any age. It can also start much earlier, if you are an avid smoker.
Physiological changes in menopause in women.
Climax is the time when a woman stops menstruating forever. It is at this time that the last period of menstruation takes place, and after that the transition from the reproductive to the unproductive stage of your life takes place. After thirty years, the production of estrogen in the body of a woman decreases and the stock of eggs is already exhausted, so at forty or fifty, you no longer have follicles of the ovules that go into the uterus, and estrogen, which stimulates ovulation and menstruation.
Although the ovaries continue to retain estrogen and fatty tissue after the onset of menopause, but it will never be enough to restart the menstruation or to become pregnant again. As a result, many processes occur in the body of the woman, mostly some of them are typical for any woman during menopause. Other processes are an individual response to a low level in the body of female hormones.
Here are the known symptoms of menopause, which manifest themselves in the course of many years and can make your life troublesome and terrible.
Every woman has everything individually and nothing other than this phenomenon can prove the truth of this statement. A very large number of women generally do not notice the menopause, unless they just stop their periods. In other women, these symptoms are so strong that they make their life intolerable. Also, there are a majority of women who do not belong to any category, whose symptoms range from mild to problematic. These symptoms include not only known blood tides and night sweats, but also a huge number of other strange phenomena in the body of a woman, which can alarm or frighten if the woman is not ready for this.
Common symptoms of menopause:
- an unexpected rush of blood and night sweats;
- frequent palpitations;

But unlike any disease that can be avoided, unfortunately, the climacterium can not bypass the side - it's the fate of every woman.
