at what age do women stop having their period?

Answer 1

It varies by woman, but is controlled mostly by their genetics. Talk to your mother, grandmother about when she passed through menopause and this should be a clear indicator as to when you will. Most women experience menopause from 40's to 50's, but as I said genetics plays the key role.

Answer 2

To stop having period is called menopause,it is when hormone estrogen levels has gone down which marks the end of the reproductive periods and menstrual bleeding has stoped for a year.The average age of menopause is around 50, which is variable in every woman. Some women stop menstruating in their mid-40s, and others continue well into their mid-50s.There are some documeneted factors* which can cause early menopause such as the following: smoking, radiation & chemotherapy, genetics and autoimmune diseases, removal of both ovaries, living at high altitudes,and a vegetarian diet. *Speroff L, Fritz MA (2005).

Answer 3

The average woman will go through menopause at the age of 51. Most women will finish menopause between the ages of 42-48. A smaller number of women will find that their periods stop prematurely, before age 40. If menopause (hormonal changes at the end of the female reproductive years) occurs before age 40, it is said to be premature menopause. There are several causes of menopause. Women who have premature menopause often have autoimmune disorders like thyroid disease or diabetes mellitus. In these diseases, the body produces antibodies to one or more of its own organs. These antibodies interfere with the normal function of the organ. Just as antibodies might attack the thyroid or the pancreas, antibodies may attack the ovaries and stop the production of female hormones.

Cancer treatment like chemotherapy or radiation can cause premature menopause. The risk depends on the type and length of treatment and the age of the woman when she first begins radiation or chemotherapy.

Menopause usually occurs at a time in life when other dramatic changes take place. Some of these changes may include loss of parents, adjustment to children growing up and leaving home, becoming a grandparent, retirement or career changes. These changes, in addition to the changes in your body, may result in emotional or psychological stress. Psychological symptoms may include anxiety, depression, tearfulness, irritability, sleeplessness, less desire for sex, lack of concentration and more trouble remembering things.

Around age 50

Answer 5

I was shocked to hear that legislature closed most of the abortion clinics in Austin, Texas recently. I was not planning an abortion or anything, and I am not pregnant; I just read the article in the Chronicle newspaper about it. I hope that new legislature in Austin will re-open clinics at least for teenage pregnancy cases, rape cases, unhealthy baby or unhealthy mother cases, and so forth. A woman who is 50 years old, for example, might be too old to have a healthy delivery. Planned Parenthood is the only clinic open doing abortions, and they are overwhelmed with appointments. It seems more cruel to
put a woman's life or a baby's life at risk than to have an abortion which would prevent suffering. On the other hand, I love my two kids and am glad that I did not abort them, since they are both so healthy and happy.
