background

Is it normal, after 6 years of going through the menopause, to still have bloating and indigestion? I did not start having periods until I was 16 and I did not go through the menopause until I was 55. I have had my ovaries checked, as well as my gall bladder, and everything is fine.

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
