Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the usual age of menopause is around 51 in US and around 48 in south east Asian countries. There are many instances where a prior period of 3-4 years one gets starting of menstrual irregularity due to lack of ovarian follicles as part of ageing process.

However, it is recommended to observe the menses cycles for a period of 1-2 cycles and later if required consult your OBGYN for further work up of adenomyosis, fibroids or others.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
