How early in life does a woman go through menopause?
Normally around age 50.
But it can occasionally happen very early (even mid 20s), and prevent the woman from having any children. Or it can be delayed until almost 60. It tends to be hereditary so if your mother had an early or late menopause then you are more likely to follow that pattern.
The first symptoms are periods becoming more irregular, sometimes early, sometimes late, then missing altogether sometimes for months at a time. After a couple of years the periods stop altogether and never reappear. Some people never have any other symptoms, but others have hot flushes, sudden rages etc. Hormone replacement can help.
I will add that natural cure is best. The Hormone replacement therapy has been linked to some health problems like heart disease. Get more education before you try it. I also refer you to the book:
