Are you perimenopausal or menopausal? If so then you have probably thought to yourself, “When will this ever stop?” Unfortunately, menopause can take some time to resolve on its own and women must deal with the changes in hormones and other symptoms in the meantime.

The question regarding when menopause will stop has a different answer for every woman. There is no set schedule for menopause will start or when it will end. However, women still want to know how long they will need to put up with the symptoms of menopause. There are many factors that will play a role in menopause and when it will occur as well as end. Some of these factors include diet, genetics, lifestyle, overall health, and culture.

During the mid to late 40s the average woman will be experience menopausal symptoms. Not all women will experience menopausal symptoms but many will. In general, after a woman has missed her period for 12 months in a row she may be considered menopausal. That may seem like a long time to you; however there are some women who have menopausal symptoms for five years or more.

That may seem like an unacceptable amount of time, however it has been researched and the majority of women will take anywhere from 2 to 10 years to experience menopause. This usually occurs in the mid 40s to mid 50s time frame. Many women take hormone replacement therapy or use natural approaches to help them deal with the symptoms of menopause due to hormonal imbalance. There is no set time for menopause or set amount of time it will last. Women just need to be patient and listen to their bodies to try and get through this change as best one can.
