What is the general age of female menopause?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello, I have been experiencing frequent neurasthenia recently. Is it the menopausal period coming? Should I take any supplements? What kind of help do you want: I want to stabilize the symptoms of neurasthenia, but I don't know if it's menopause.

Doctor's answer:

The onset of menopause varies by individual and can begin as early as age 40, lasting approximately 20 years. Menopause is divided into three stages: premenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. It is a special stage during which women may experience a variety of symptoms, which can be complex. For a small portion of women, entering menopause may lead to certain symptoms related to the decrease in sex hormones, such as early hot flashes, sweating, emotional instability, and irritability. The recurrence of menopause poses serious health risks to women, and patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoiding sexual activity.
