Patient's question:
A friend is 44 years old this year, but he told me that he is now experiencing some symptoms of menopause. Please ask: When does menopause start and when does it end?Doctor's answer:
Menopause generally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, primarily due to a series of symptoms caused by the decline of ovarian function and the rise in hormone secretion in the body. For most women, menopause usually lasts 1-3 years, but a small portion may last longer, even up to 15-20 years. The duration of menopause is mainly related to factors such as high stress, emotional tension, irregular living habits, and constant worry. It is recommended to maintain a relaxed mood, participate in more social activities, distract attention, get sufficient deep sleep, and pay attention to regular dietary habits to ensure the shortest possible time to go through menopause.
