The average age of menopause in women is between 40-55 years. Menopause can cause mental and physical symptoms, but there are simple ways to cope with it.

For most women, menopause starts between 45 – 55 years old. When a woman's body enters this stage the ovaries decline and stop functioning, thus no ovulation occurs. A woman’s period will ultimately stop, with no female hormones produced, leading to physical and mental changes.

The missing hormones causing this change are estrogen and progesterone.
