What is the difference between early and premature menopause?

The average age for menopause in the United States is 52. Early and premature menopause happens when ovaries stop making hormones and periods stop at a younger age than usual. This can happen naturally or for a medical reason, such as when both ovaries are removed in a hysterectomy, also known as the removal of the uterus and bilateral oophorectomy, or removal of both ovaries.

Early and premature menopause can have the same causes. The only difference is the age at which it happens. Menopause that happens before age 45 is called early menopause. Menopause that happens before age 40 is called premature menopause.

Women who have gone through early or premature menopause cannot get pregnant using their own eggs.

Career and technical education prepare students for high-demand careers.

Title IX helps ensure students have equal access to these programs, so opportunities are based on interests and abilities—not gender stereotypes.

Every student deserves the freedom to pursue the future they choose.
