At what age do ovaries stop releasing eggs?

Published in Female Health 1 min read

Ovaries typically stop releasing eggs around the age of 51.

This cessation of egg release marks the transition into menopause. While the exact age can vary from woman to woman, the average age for menopause in the United States is 51. As women approach their 40s, they may experience changes in their menstrual cycles, including variations in length, flow, and frequency. Eventually, the ovaries will no longer release eggs, leading to the end of menstruation. This is a natural part of aging for women.
