By the time a woman is in her late 50s she likely is in or has experienced menopause in the past.
The average age for menopause in America is 51 with most women experiencing menopause between 52 and 54, according to SWAN, a Study of Women’s Health in seven states across the Nation. As this figure suggests, a significant number of women go through menopause from age 55-60.
Symptoms typically last for several months to a few years, but for some women, they can go on for as long as 14 years.
