What is the average age for women to start menopause?

I am 32 and have been having night sweats and very moody. It just started about 1 month ago. Is this the begining of menopause ? I have a doctors app. next week. I am just woundering if I might begining the early signs of it.

I don't really think there is an average age. I always thought late 40's early 50's but I was proven wrong. I'm only 38 and I've been suffering on and off for a year. The only good side to this is no more periods!. I asked my mom at what age she went into menopause and she said it never happened to her! I also know someone in their late 20's who has it. Check with your doctor first before coming to any conclusions yourself. It could be a sign of something else. A gynocologists would be able to tell you for sure. Good luck and good health.

Yes, I've know women who have started in the 30's.
Average age is probably around 47.
The average age is 55. My mom started at 45 which is considered wayyyy early, so I doubt you are going through it at 32!!! But there is always that 1% of people who differ from the rest of us in some way or another. I'm 22 and get night sweats every night. Sometimes things like that just happen. Good luck at your doctor's appointment!!
Unlike a woman鈥檚 first menstruation, which starts on a single day, the changes leading up to menopause happen over several years. The average age for menopause is 52. But menopause commonly happens anytime between the ages of 42 and 56.

pre-menopause can happen however in your early to late
30's and sometimes not until your 40's
It can start from 35 to 50 depends on your hormone level..ask your doctor, he may sugest a course of HRT

I was 35 so I talk with experience
Usually about the same age that a womans mother started menopause is a good estimate as to when they will start their own.
