How old are women when they stop their peroids?

Question

I am 47 and have very heavy painful peroids. When will it stop?????? ~Karen~

Answer 1

it varies with different women but you can ask your mother and aunts and this will give you a ballpark figure... having heavy periods needs to be checked out by your doctor. If you have been, did the doctor tell you that you have fibroids, endometriosis or some other medical condition? Even though you are 47 you may just be entering the perimenopausal stage which occurs right before the onset of menopause. the total process of menopause could take quite a few years and is not over until you have gone one year without a period.. Realistically you could be 60 before you completely stop having periods.

Answer 2
