When does a woman stop having period?

That varies from one woman to another, and also depends on how early she first began having her period. If a girl began having her periods at ten years old, then she will be more likely to go through menopause earlier than one who didn't have her first period till the age of 14 or 15. But the average age of menopause is in the mid forties.

But also, when a woman begins menopause, she doesn't just suddenly stop having periods; it's a gradual process that can take months or years. There may also be other symptoms, such as, but not limited to, hot flashes, mood swings, forgetfulness, sleeplessness, weight gain, spotty and irregular periods and headaches. You may also experience extreme irritability, indicated by the urge to slap your husband at any given moment for no reason, as I did.

If you experience any symptoms that concern you, or cause real discomfort, discuss them with your doctor, who can prescribe medications to help with any symptoms or discomfort you are having.
