At what age do women generally go through menopause?

Patient's question:

I'm 48 this year. Recently, my mom has been very irritable and often gets angry with my dad. She says it's because she's getting older and entering menopause. At what age do women generally enter menopause?

Doctor's answer:

First, menopause is not unfamiliar to women. Generally, menopause refers to the transitional period when ovarian function gradually declines from a state of full vitality to complete disappearance. After this, it is often accompanied by symptoms of menopause. Menopausal women are prone to experiencing hot flashes, dizziness, palpitations, or seeing black spots in their vision, as well as feeling cold in their limbs. Therefore, special attention should be paid to adjusting one's condition during this period. Generally, women experience menopause between the ages of 48 and 60, so it is important to adjust one's mindset accordingly.
