Menopause is a normal part of life that occurs when you haven't had a period for at least 12 months. This marks the permanent end of your menstrual cycle and means you can no longer get pregnant.
The average age for menopause to occur in the United States is 52. However, the months and years leading up to menopause involve rising and falling hormone levels that cause symptoms and noticeable changes in your body. This period is called perimenopause, and it's what most women are referring to when they talk about going through menopause.
