Am i too young to be going through menopause?

Conception

I havent had my menstration for 3 months now and i m really worried why would i not have my period unless i was going through menopause??? I have had 3 kids, had my tubes tied. I am 36 yrs old.



Lori

It is rather young. However I also went straight into menopause after my tubal ligation. I suspect a connection. Ask your doc for a blood test to check your hormone levels.



Hettie

It's rare to go into menopause at 36. Have you been very stressed lately or have you gained or lost weight quickly? I really think you should get it checked out. Missing your period for three months as an adult is not really normal. I know that you've had your tubes tied but it has happened that women who have had their tubes tied have gotten pregnant so a pregnancy test wouldn't hurt. Go see a doctor though just to make sure that it's nothing serious. Keep in mind that many serious conditions can be successfully treated if caught early.

The average age for menopause is 51, but like others have mentioned, there are cases of this starting earlier. I found this great self-assessment questionnaire that may help with action steps if you are menopausal. http://www. hormonesolutions. com/patients/menopause-self-assessment. htm? a=PAG0001

I have heard of girls who are 17 having menopause so never too young. Have you had any hot flashes or other symptoms?

At what age does menopause start if you first got your period at age 12?

Floretta

what the other girls said is truebut you can also get it in your 20's which is really scary, but also pretty rare. just thought id let you know lol. doesnt matter what time you get your period, menopause is normally around the same age for everyone - 50- 60



Kiara

I'm not positive, but I think the age you start your period is irrelevant to when you begin menopause, I don't think many people begin menopause before their fifties. here are the symptoms of menopause though, hopefully this will help :)http://www. mayoclinic. com/health/menopause/ds00119/dsection=symptomsgood luck =D

When you get you period wont really matter, depends on the person and what you do over the next 20-30 years. For example, smoking causes menopause to start early.

How do you get through menopause successfully?

Lili

It is coming in a few years or so and I do not look forward to it. Any tips?



Isiah

billions of women have gone through menopause "successfully" seeing as how it's been happening since human existence. proper nutrition, water, strength training and a positive state of mind. Only in North America do women make such a huge deal out of something so natural.



Fleta

Try not to let all the hype about the symptoms get you worrying ahead of time. It's not as horrible as the articles, books, and talk shows make it out to be. Some women have more trouble than others with loss of hormones. Memory loss, confusion, mood swings, hot and cold flashes, irregular spotty or extreme periods, dry skin, hair loss, on and on. Not all of these things happen to every woman. In my case, I had night sweats and could not wear sweaters or warm clothing because my internal thermostat was out of whack. I just dressed accordingly and used a fan in my bedroom at night. Periods came and went and then they did not come at all which was just fine with me! Peri-menopause is usually quite gradual I think. Hormone replacement therapy might help but there are also holisticherbal remedies that are very good.



Bryant

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. 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.

Any old time remedy for menopause?

Josette

A friend of mine has lost her ovaries to cancer recently. She is young, but due to this mishap, she is going through menopause. Any old time remedies?



Denese

She has lost a large percentage of ovary production by losing her ovaries. Now all the burden lies in the adrenal glands which normally produce 15% of the body's ovaries when the ovaries are still doing its job. So the adrenal glands need more support than ever. Vitamin C helps to support the adrenals as well as flaxseed oil, blackcurrant seed oil, Drenamin (from Standard Process Inc) has the best adrenal support supplement. Avoid things that weaken the adrenals: dairy products, caffeine, sugars, processed grain, sugar-free products, etc. Good luck to her!



Kory

Dairy products include anything with cow's milk: cheese, yogurt, ice cream, as well as chocolate. Refined sugars, high fructose corn syrup, enriched flour, etc. will greatly weaken the adrenals. Report Abuse



Emilee

yes i am 51 and going through the same thing, go out side and scream as loud as you can, then go take a cool shower for the hot flashes and have some ice tea also get some menopause med. to help



Glenn

Well you'll see menopause is cuased by the lack of sexual hormones produced by the ovaries. I don't the precise technique used i your friend but if both were extracted, there is no natural production in her body of estrogen therefore she would need supplemetary hormone therapy at for to get over the symptomes and even if there are estrogens naturally produced by plants, fitoestrogens, they are to be taken seriously and your endocrinologist is the most qualified person to give you advice in this matter because hormone replacement therapy cannot be taken ligthly.
