Most women will have to experience menopause. It is known as the time when your menstrual cycle completely stops, and fertility stops. It is normally decided that a woman is beginning to start menopause if she hasn't had a menstrual period in 12 months. It is usually known to happen in their 40s or 50s. The average age of a woman who begins the process is 51. Menopause is completely normal and natural, but the unwanted symptoms of it are what makes going through it truly difficult. Luckily, there are treatment options out there, including hormone therapy. Women have been going through menopause since the beginning of time, but it is important to know the symptoms of it, and what to do to alleviate any pain or discomfort. This "change" a woman goes through doesn't necessarily have to be a terrible one.
