Customer question:
How long does Menopause last? Anonymous customer's question's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Menopause usually lasts about seven years, but it can last as long as 14. Duration depends primarily on many factors, mainly lifestyle, such as smoking, age at which menstruation begins, and race and ethnicity. The transition to Menopause most often begins between 45 and 55.
Perimenopause can start up to 10 years before Menopause. During and after Menopause, typical menopausal symptoms may gradually subside. As you enter your 40s, a woman's body will produce less and less estrogen until menstruation stops. When your periods stop, and you don't notice your periods for at least 12 months, you have reached Menopause.
Symptoms of perimenopause can last an average of four years. Symptoms will gradually decrease during and after Menopause. Although hot flashes are a common symptom of perimenopause, moderate to intense hot flashes can continue even after perimenopause and last, on average, up to 10 years.
A woman can experience Menopause even before the age of 45. Premature Menopause is considered Menopause, and you are 40 years old or younger. Early Menopause can occur for many reasons, some women may experience early Menopause due to surgery such as a hysterectomy, or it may also occur due to damaged ovaries - from chemotherapy or other conditions and treatments.
