Menopause or as some call it, The Change of Life is an expected phase in every woman's life that will occur in your later years of life. There is no prevention for menopause. It will occur in every woman. When? That question cannot be answered. I know in my early peri- menopause phase the doctor asked general questions related to my history re: mother, grandmother etc... I don't know if that was for just a medical history or if answers could help the doctor determine my phase in the menopause cycle. The older people in my generation used to call it "The Change"
