Frequently asked questions

Start your assessment now

What is menopause?

  • Menopause marks the natural end of menstrual cycles. It’s defined as the point in time after 12 months without a period, usually occurring between ages 45–55.

What is the average age of menopause?

  • The average age for menopause is 51, though it can happen earlier or later. Genetics, health, and lifestyle all play a role.

When does menopause start?

  • Menopause is a point in time defined as when a person has gone 12 months without a period, but the transition phase (perimenopause) can start years earlier in the mid-40s.

How long does menopause last?

  • Menopause-related symptoms may last a few years, but the experience varies widely. Some people notice changes for less than two years, while others experience them for a decade or more.

When does menopause end?

  • A person is considered postmenopausal after they have passed the point of menopause. As time goes on, symptoms may ease for many, but some (like hot flashes or sleep changes) can linger for longer.

What are the first signs of menopause?

  • Early signs of menopause, which occur during the perimenopause stage, often include irregular periods, hot flashes, night sweats, and mood or sleep changes.

What are the common symptoms of menopause?

  • Common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, sleep issues, mood swings, vaginal dryness, weight changes, and decreased bone density. Every person’s experience and body is unique.

Is weight gain a symptom of menopause?

  • Weight gain isn’t caused by menopause alone, but hormonal changes can shift fat storage, especially around the midsection. Aging, metabolism, and lifestyle also play a role.

Can you get pregnant after menopause?

  • No. Once menopause is reached (12 months without a period), natural pregnancy is no longer possible.

Is treatment safe?

  • For many, perimenopause and menopause treatment is safe,  but safety depends on age, personal health, and family history. A provider will help determine if treatment is right for you.

Is insurance required?

  • Insurance isn’t required, so there are no complicated insurance questions or health insurance plan considerations.
