When do women generally start menopause and how long does it last?


Nyla

I'm in my early 40's and was wondering when I should be concerned about menopause. I've been very moody lately and just don't feel like myself...could this be pre-menopause? What are some of the symptoms emotional and physical that accompany menopause? How long does menopause last?

When I was 15 I started to have irregular periods (2 times a month or skip 2-3 months). I would always be hot (hot flashes) too. Then, at the age of 21 I was diagnosed with POF - Premature Ovarian Failure (ran out of eggs). You can say I went through premature menopause. Check out this site for more info on symptoms of POF, which are probably similar to menopause: http://pofsupport. org/Good Luck!

it can last years, you know there is a test at wal-mart by pregnancy test to test if you have menopause. I aunt went through it at your age. everyones different. Signs and symptoms are moody, sweating, irregular bleeding, flow change, breast tenderness. It can happen between 40-65 and can take up to five years to actually go through the whole process. (out of my nursing book)

Is there an herb or prescription for women to help with their sex drive. I'm not experiencing to much of the hot flashes, but do have mood swings. Any suggestions besides o/c Estrovan I think it is.

One of my cousin was facing the same problem as like of yours, including joint pains, she has made some changes in her diet and started taking flax seeds in her diet, which are rich in Omega 3 as well reduces all the worries related to menopause. Along with this she has started taking Xenesis EP which can solve your problem too.

Uh, this isn't spam but I found this:http://www. hersolution. com/index. html#ba…I've been having the same problem, I ended up going off the pill and that helped a bit. We also took, like, a full 6 week break. When we got back to it, it was better than ever!
