How Long Does the Menopause Last?

This is the stage in a woman's life characterised by the end of menstruation and the beginning of the stage known as the climacteric, the transition between the fertile period and older age. But... how long does the menopause last? At what age does it happen?

It usually appears between the ages of 48 and 54, when women start to lose ovarian function and, as a consequence, the production of female hormones, oestrogens and progesterone decreases.

Stages of the menopause

How long does the menopause last? You have probably asked yourself this more than once. But to understand this process properly, you should know that the menopause is made up of three stages:

• Premenopause: the period before the menopause.
• Perimenopause: when the first changes begin to be experienced. This stage usually lasts up to 1 year.
• Postmenopause: the period that begins after the last menstrual period and continues from then on.

Although there are no fixed time ranges, some women may experience the first symptoms of the menopause for a few months or even for a decade before periods stop completely.

Menopause: causes and symptoms

Symptoms include insomnia, changes in body shape, metabolic changes, irregular cycles, osteoporosis, characterised by reduced bone mass and calcium loss, vaginal dryness, mood changes and more.

Among the factors that influence the menopause, smoking, because it is linked to oestrogen loss, increases the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis.

So does a sedentary lifestyle; leading an active life and exercising several times a week can help slow this menopausal stage and effects such as diabetes and cardiovascular risks.
