The risk of heart disease in women increases after menopause.
Symptoms of early menopause usually begin to appear in women between the ages of 40 and 45.
Menopause is a stage in a woman's life when periods stop permanently, so eggs stop forming in the ovaries and the production of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone begins to decrease. According to the Cleveland Clinic, menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, although it can sometimes occur around age 40. In reality, menopause is a normal process, but proper diet, regular exercise and medical advice are very important to reduce its effects. In this way, both the symptoms of early menopause and those of early menopause, which are usually the initial stages of menopause in women, can be avoided.
