When does menopause typically occur?

The average age of menopause is 51, but it can occur anywhere between the ages of 45 and 55.

Menopause can also occur earlier (before the age of 40) due to medical treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, surgical removal of the ovaries, or certain medical conditions such as premature ovarian failure.
