The average age of menopause is 51 years old. The age of onset is thought to be genetic, so knowing the age that your mother went through it at can be helpful in predicting when you could go through it as well. Menopause can be a difficult time for a woman, so choosing an OB/GYN who has the expertise, as well as personal compassion, is very important. There are many options available to help alleviate the symptoms of menopause for today's woman. These include hormonal and non- hormonal treatments, as well as creams and oral medications. There are also surgical options available for those requiring a more aggressive approach. You should discuss your symptoms and issues thoroughly with your physician in order to come up with an individual, personalized plan of care. At the Advanced Women's Health Center you can rest assured that your doctor will have the time to get to know you as an individual, and address your medical concerns completely.
