It isn’t common, but yes you can. Menopause is the time in a woman’s life when the ovaries stop producing estrogen. Menopause is generally recognized by the ceasing of menstrual periods, though this is not always the case. Other symptoms of menopause will include mood changes, a difficult in sleeping and even vaginal dryness. If a woman is not menstruating due to a hysterectomy, then other symptoms of menopause will indicate to her that the process is beginning.
Generally the menopause will start between the ages of 47 and 53, with the average age being 51. Perimenopause is the period immediately before and after the onset of menopause, and this period averages around four years or so. Although most women will have menstrual periods that stop abruptly, many women will actually notice that their periods begin to space out for months, or even years, before the bleeding stops permanently. So during this perimenopausal state, women may experience bleeding and wonder why they haven’t stopped. It could take a great deal of time before these periods ever stop. Pregnancy is obviously unlikely in this age group, but during the perimenopausal period it is indeed possible to become pregnant.
Regular periods come as a result of a precise hormone balance that causes regular ovulation. During the perimenopausal state, a woman will not have the right hormone balance, and hence the bleeding will be regular throughout the year. Eventually, this bleeding will stop until the perimenopausal state finally ends. It is then that the woman will enter the proper menopausal state, when no bleeding will occur. This process can be traumatic for many women, and going to your doctor can provide you with the help you need to make the process as comfortable as possible.
