At what age does menopause start if you first got your period at age 12?

Floretta

what the other girls said is truebut you can also get it in your 20's which is really scary, but also pretty rare. just thought id let you know lol. doesnt matter what time you get your period, menopause is normally around the same age for everyone - 50- 60

I'm not positive, but I think the age you start your period is irrelevant to when you begin menopause, I don't think many people begin menopause before their fifties. here are the symptoms of menopause though, hopefully this will help :)http://www. mayoclinic. com/health/menopause/ds00119/dsection=symptomsgood luck =D

When you get you period wont really matter, depends on the person and what you do over the next 20-30 years. For example, smoking causes menopause to start early.

Does your menstrual cycle just stop after menopause?

Kristopher

After you go through all the syptoms of menopause, do the monthly cycles stop on their own, or do you have to go through surgery? Also, why are my periods so heavy and last for long periods of time? This can't be part of the menopause....or is it? Thanks for your help.



Aleen

No surgery required, its a natural process and they will stop ont here own, but spotting can still occur. And your period being long and heavy probably has nothing to do with menopause, if they persist you should goto a doctor they should be heavy and long every month.



Chelsea

Yes, menustral periods will fluctuate kind of weirdly during menopause, then they will stop altogether. There is no need for surgery. The purpose of a period is to prepare the uterus for implantation, and when you reach menopause, you are too old to bear children so your body stops going through the effort and just stops your period.
