If you start menopause at an early age does that mean you live a shorter life span?

Deeanna

No, not if your menopause is within the normal range (44+). But if you're younger than that, then menopause can cause problems, and your lifespan, on average, will be shorter than average, due to the fact that not having hormones at that young age can damage your systems. It makes you more suceptible to certain diseases. The good news is that you can take hormone replacement to prevent that. Here's an article that talks about the dangers of going through menopause too soon: http://www. reuters. com/article/healthNew…However, if you're wondering if a woman who goes through menopause at 45 will live shorter than one who goes through it at 55, just because that means that the 55 is aging more slowly than the 45 year old, then, no, that's not true. They're both normal ages of menopause.

Is it true about contraceptive and menopause?

Dino

Is it true that contraceptive pills can belate menopause? As they say there are a fixed number of eggs in the ovaries, when all the eggs are released from ovaries menopause occurs. Pills prevent release of new eggs so they slows down the process?



Coletta

Vu is incorrect. Birth control pills prevent ovulation so an egg is not released. Plan B, known as the "morning after pill," helps to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. A woman will continue to menstruate as long as she is on birth controll pills. Once an older woman comes off of BCP, she goes into menopause.



Danilo

No. Pills do not prevent release of new eggs it just prevents fertilization between egg and sperm. So whether you are on contraceptives or not menopause will occur around the same time as it should occur

At what age do women start experiencing menopause?

Delma

I think my mum might be going through it, she's been a little mad lately...



Gennie

There is a huge normal range, but the current UK average age is 52 years.



Danilo

it usually starts in mid-late 40s, and goes from there. Some women start earlier than that, and some women start in their 50s, but mostly in the 40s some time. So it's very possible she may be going through it. hope this helps :-)



Lucien

60-70 sometimes lower



Candra

Usually late 40s onwards.



Isadora

It depends on the womanand how many people they have slept with



Audry

Usually around 50, but it can happen a lot earlier. I was 44.



Priscila
