If i was 42 when i had a total hysterectomy how much longer will i have to endure menopause?

Carson

I was forced into menopause (hot flashes, night sweats) after my total hysterectomy. I use a hormone patch which works very well, but I wonder how much longer I'll have to use it.



Christian

Women who go through surgical menopause will sometimes have menopause symptoms until natural menopausal age.

I just turned 40 and am experiencing hot flashes is it menopause?

Hermine

I had a partial hysterectomy at the age of 28 for fibroid tumors. I already had 4 kids, and had been suffering for a couple of years. I turned 40 just 2 months ago, and have been having hot flashes for about 6 weeks, is it menopause or something else? We don't have medical insurance, so going to the doctor to run the normal test for menopause is not an option.



Adalberto

It just may. Take 800 or 1,000 IU of Vitamin E a day. See if it works, after a few days. Good luck



Isabell

I'm going to school to be a medical assistant, and we learned that women who have hysterectomies, tend to start menopause early. There's also pre-menopause that women can go through as early as in their 30's. My mom is 43 and is going through menopause. she also had a partial hysterectomy. I think it is very likely that you're going through menopause.



Lavinia

If you are over than 40 , it can be menaupose symptoms but at 40 you still be young and can give children again. Not sure! check : http://www. menopauseandweight. com see that site you can read and perhaps you will find an answer. But what it's obvious, don't use hormonal replacement. Hope for you good health.

Ladies at what age did you start the menopause?

Elwood

Would be interesting to know at what age your period started too?!



Brett

The current age of the onset of puberty is now 10 years, with the menarche, ( first period ) being at 12 years. The current age at the onset of the menopause is now risen to 51 years, menopause lasts from overnight to 6 years!



Helen

I had my last child at 68 and started the menopause three years later.



Kizzy

my period was started at 13, im 28 now, so still long way to menopause, my mum is 50 now, and her period started like reduce, only come for 1 day, think she is near to menopause.



Celestina

started at 13yrs old & finished at 45yrs..with no symptoms whatsoever of the menopause..just stopped & have never felt SO good in my whole life!! i think i'm one of the lucky ones!!



Arleen

14 and 45. Been on HRT, which was a great help, but am now back to sqare 1 after 7 years



Bethel

I started with the menopause in 1998, aged 46 years old. The night sweats were so bad that I had HRT patches for a while but they did not suit me and I preferred the hot flushes - although not much - smile. It is 9 years since it all began and I am now almost through it but what an ordeal. Started my periods when I was 13 years old.



Carline

My period started when I was 14 years of age. Due to severe PID, cancer, cysts and endometrosis I had to have a full hysterectomy at age 27. And went into menopause straight away. Thant sucks at any age but still being so young and having hot flushes and mood swings, just made it harder to deal with. The hot flushes are the worst. i would get that hot that I would start stripping my clothes off to get cool, sometimes forgetting where I was. In public! But HRT settled everything down and gave me so much relief.



Araceli

Some women start as early as their late twenties. It just depends on each woman. You can definitely start perimenopause very early without even knowing it.



Agatha

I often wonder about that to? I just turned 39 so I know my day is coming, I do know that the younger you start your period the younger you will be when you start menopause, I also know that if you, ve been pregnant it gives your body a break from periods so it also prolongs menopause, Ive had 3 kids so I guess Ive givin my body alot of time off.{haha}, thier are alot of little symtoms your body gives off when your time is coming for menopause, for example your periods start becoming shorter, your body temperature starts to rise, your hot and sweating and feeling irritable. Now if we were to be going by age only, I'd day anywhere between 45 and 50 you should be starting menopause, I really dread it when my time comes, I dont like having periods but its much better then the much dreaded menopause.



Lauran

My first period at 11 years old Menopause at 42 years old



Janina

As usually around 13 years of age in most average to start the menopause. I was started as mid 13.



Jeffie

The average age is 52 years of age when a woman has her final menopause (this is true time of menopause not when symptoms start). The average age of when menses begins is 12 years of age.

Is this menopause stresswhat are these red bumps?

Derick

I have started breaking out in these red bumps, never before have I even had so much as a pimple on my body. Now, these red bumps keep popping up everywhere( except my face thank god).Even on my forearms. Ihave been under stress, and I am going through menopause. Has anybody had this happen to them. They are kinda painful if you touch them



Elidia

it might be exima... do they itch? or it could be like tiny pimples.. you should see the dermatoligist.



Jacinto

Unless they itch a lot, it's probably keratosis pilaris. It's simply when your hair follicles clog up. It's very common, so don't be alarmed. I have it myself. There is no cure for keratosis pilaris, but you can use special creams to make it better.

Brigitte

Menopause is the transition period in a woman's life when her ovaries stop producing eggs, her body produces less estrogen and progesterone, and menstruation becomes less frequent, eventually stopping altogether. Menopause is a natural event that normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.Once menopause is complete (called postmenopause), you can no longer become pregnant. The symptoms of menopause are caused by changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. As the ovaries become less functional, they produce less of these hormones and the body responds accordingly. The specific symptoms you experience and how significant (mild, moderate, or severe) varies from woman to woman. In some women, menstrual flow comes to a sudden halt. More commonly, it tapers off. During this time, your menstrual periods generally become either more closely or more widely spaced. This irregularity may last for 1 to 3 years before menstruation finally ends completely. A gradual decrease of estrogen generally allows your body to slowly adjust to the hormonal changes. When estrogen drops suddenly, as is seen when the ovaries are removed surgically (called surgical menopause), symptoms can be more severe. Because hormone levels fall, changes occur in the entire female reproductive system. The vaginal walls become less elastic and thinner. The vagina becomes shorter. Lubricating secretions from the vagina become watery. The outside genital tissue decreases. This is called atrophy of the labia. Symptoms : The potential symptoms include: - Hot flashes and skin flushing - Night sweats - Insomnia - Mood swings including irritability, depression, and anxiety - Irregular menstrual periods - Spotting of blood in between periods - Vaginal dryness and painful sexual intercourse - Decreased sex drive - Vaginal infections - Urinary tract infections In addition, the long-term effects of menopause include: - Bone loss and eventual osteoporosis - Changes in cholesterol levels and greater risk of heart disease



Bonita

At the age of 29 I started having menopause signs. First it was cold and hot sweats I didn't understand. Talked to the doctor and said that women could start having signs as early as 29. Report Abuse

those nasty mood swings and night sweats. they got sooo bad, i went and cut my hair very short so my wet hair would not wrap around my neck and strangle me.



Jonelle

Oh, yes! The best of health to you! The book "the pause" is a great book to read during this time of your life. Just think, it won't be long until you are through this faze of your life.



Cyril

yes, and decreased flow, and irritability, and dry vagina when you have sex, it can take ten years to get through the process.



Hollie

Menopause is a stage in life when a woman stops having her monthly period. It is a normal part of aging, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years. Good nutrition will help ease the symptoms of menopause by supplying a changing body with the nutrients necessary for optimal health throughout this transitional phase. Get enough calcium. A woman going through menopause needs 1000 mg to 1500 mg of calcium a day. Avoid excessive amounts of salt to reduce bloating associated with hormonal changes.

What is the earliest age a woman can go through menopause?

Rex

Depends ;on your family history can start as early as 30's or as late as your 50's. Just depends on family history.



Raeann

im 25 and i have started because i tied my tubes but as early as early 20s



Faviola

The average age is 50 so 40 to 60 is normal. Women as young as 25 can be entering menopause. Having a tubal has NOTHING to do with menopause. A tubal does not alter the hormones which naturally drop off at menopause, all a tubal does is cut off the pathway for an egg to reach the uterus.
