The onset of menopause marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anytime between the ages of 40-55. As estrogen levels decline, women may experience uncomfortable symptoms that can significantly impact their quality of life. Let's explore the signs, symptoms, and key things to know about menopause.
