Early and premature menopause About 1% of women experience menopause before they turn 40 and 0.1% before they are 30 years old. This means that one out of a hundred women is affected by menopause between the ages of 30 and 40, but before the age of 30 it is fairly uncommon.
Menopause is Ovarian Failure Menopause is a condition which all women will encounter eventually. Just as surely as that first menstruation appeared in puberty, will just as surely menstrual flow disappear sometime between the ages of 45 and 55.
