When does menopause occur? Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 â the average age is 51. However, it can occur earlier or later than this â every woman is different. If you are a smoker, you may reach menopause a year or 2 earlier than non-smokers. Also, there are certain medical conditions and treatments that can cause premature menopause (menopause before the age of 40) or early menopause (menopause between 40 and 45).
