You are considered to be in menopause when you have not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. The time that it takes each women to go through the entire menopause process, including perimenopause is highly individual and can range from 2-10 years and sometimes longer. Usually though, once a woman completely ceases menstruating for 12 months, the average time to stop having symptoms is around five years.
The opposite of menopause is puberty. Menopause refers to the end of a woman's reproductive cycle, whereas puberty signifies the beginning of it.
Most women go through menopause between the ages of 45 and 55, with the average age being 51. However, menopause can occur earlier (before 40) in some cases, referred to as premature menopause. The transition period leading up to menopause is called perimenopause.
Menopause is a natural biological process that cannot be reversed or stopped once it has started. Hormone replacement therapy can help manage symptoms of menopause, but it does not stop the process itself. Consulting with a healthcare provider can provide guidance on managing symptoms and health during this transition.
Male menopause, also known as andropause, is a term used to describe the age-related decline in testosterone levels in men. It is a gradual process that typically occurs in middle-aged or older men and can result in symptoms such as fatigue, decreased libido, and mood changes. However, unlike menopause in women, male menopause is a controversial concept and not widely recognized in medical circles.
