Perimenopause and menopause

A great deal of information about the change of life (perimenopause), menopause, and hysterectomies, especially as they relate to domestic violence, can be found in The Change of Life, Hysterectomies, and Domestic Violence.

But other information on these topics can be found on the following sites, though the list is by no means complete.

Note that the onset of the change of life (perimenopause) may occur any time between age 35 and 50 and the average age at which a woman's estrogen levels begin to drop is 43.
