Hereditary. The age of menopause of the mother or elder sister can be used as a reference for daughters and younger sisters, but it is not absolute.

Marriage and childbearing. Married women have later menopause than unmarried women; women with strong fertility, many pregnancies, and long breastfeeding periods have delayed menopause because pregnancy and breastfeeding can temporarily suppress ovulation, thus relatively prolonging women's life and ovulation time.

Living standards and nutritional status. Generally speaking, women with low living standards and long-term malnutrition enter menopause earlier, while women with good quality of life enter menopause later.

Atresia of the lower genital tract. If the cervix, vagina, hymen, part of the labia minora, congenital atresia, or adhesion atresia caused by acquired injury, there will certainly be menstrual blood in the menstrual cycle, but no leakage. This condition is called cryptic or pseudoamenorrhea. Lower genital tract atresia can be completely cured after treatment.

The endometrium will undergo cyclical changes and there will be no endometrial shedding, so there is no menstruation. There are also some people who are born without a uterus, or whose endometrium is underdeveloped, or whose endometrium is damaged. Even if their ovaries are functioning well and their estrogen and progesterone secretions are normal, they will not have a menstrual cycle.

Smoking and drinking. Benzopyrene in tobacco is a lethal factor to oocytes. Studies have shown that women who smoke enter menopause an average of 5 years earlier than non-smoking women. Although alcohol can directly damage the gonads, leading to ovarian atrophy and early menopause.
