    Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 years old, and it is a highly individual process. Officially, a woman is said to have reached menopause when she has not experienced a menstrual period in 12 consecutive months.

    Some women have no symptoms except the cessation of menses, while others might have them for five years or more.   Some women always continue to have hot flashes, for example, while some others never experience them or have them in pre-menopause (perimenopausal women).  

    Check with your physician if there are specific symptoms that are of concern to you.  Hormone replacement therapy, (including bio-identical hormones) as well as natural and holistic relief for symptoms are available.
