You just may be approaching “the change.” Menopause is a natural thing that all women go through. Unfortunately, many of us feel uneducated when it comes to just what to expect. We learn about puberty in grade school, but menopause is a whole different story with no teacher to instruct.
We’re about to change that.
Here are ten quick facts you need to know if you’re approaching menopause.
1. The average age of menopause is 51.
Ask younger women when menopause rears its head, and most will say “beats me.”
Here’s the dish: menopause can take place at many ages. Experts say that most females experience menopause between the ages of 45 and 55. And the average age is about 51.
That said, some women can go through menopause in their thirties and others may not experience menopause until their sixties.
There is one pretty cool way to tell when you’ll cross over. Generally, it is said that you will probably go through menopause around the same age that your mother did.
