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



Coralie

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

Anyone in the medical field that may know menopause symptoms?


Lynda

I am 51 and in the process of the "change".Have been diagnosed. I use to be good at organizing anything that came along, but for a couple of years now, I can't even organize my papers, mail, insurance policies, etc. I always loved office supplies, now they confuse me. I have a stack of personal papers that I transfer from the bed to the floor every night and back to the bed every morning. I can't figure out where to put them or how to organize it. My cd's and dvd's aren't quite as messy. I'm scatter brained. I'm also a little compulsive about keeping my kitchen counter clean, whether the dishes are done or not. I wasn't like this before. Can this be caused by menopause? Thank you.

Good Website: http://www. menopauserx. com/Symptoms:Hot flashes Estrogen replacement 2% bioidentical progesterone cream Meditation and relaxation Dietary improvements, like eliminating white rice and foods made from white flour from your diet, as well as soda, alcohol and sweets Add 45–160 mg of soy isoflavones to your daily diet. Herbal therapies such as Remifemin or Women's Menocaps, reliable brands found in natural food stores Acupuncture Night sweats Solutions are the same as for hot flashes. Heart palpitations If you are experiencing these, see your doctor immediately. They could be symptoms of a much more serious condition. Migraine headaches Avoid trigger foods like caffeine, alcohol, red wine, chocolate, peanuts and aspartame (found in some diet drinks). If there is no change, try eliminating wheat, sugar, corn and dairy for two weeks. Avoid or transform potential stress by keeping a journal of what's going on when your headaches start. You should begin to see a pattern that you can then take steps to change. Balance your hormones with a 2% bioidentical progesterone cream, applied to the skin. Eat more soy. Try herbal remedies like feverfew. and butterbur that have been shown to relieve migraine pain. Supplements such as Magnesium and EPA and DHA (fish oil) are also effective at relieving migraine pain. Breast swelling and tenderness Follow a hormone-balancing diet. Take 100–200 mg of B vitamins and omega-3 fats such as EPA and DHA once or twice daily. Cut out caffeine. Use a 2% bioidentical progesterone cream. Add whole soy foods to your diet. Heavy menstrual periods Consult your doctor about progesterone or birth control pills. Investigate acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine. In severe cases, laser surgery can help. Check with your doctor. Irregular or erratic periods If you can live with it, hang in there. The problem will go away. Talk to your doctor about alternatives such as birth control pills, progesterone cream or the herb chaste berry. Fibroids These growths will usually shrink dramatically after menopause and don't require surgery. Consult your doctor about having the growths removed if necessary. Weight loss, acupuncture, herbal remedies, dietary change and progesterone are effective alternatives in many cases. Change in libido Have your hormonal levels checked. Adrenal exhaustion can be helped with supplemental amounts of testosterone or DHEA. Have your doctor check for reduced amounts of estrogen or thinning of the vaginal tissue. If your sex drive has increased, channel your extra energy into a creative outlet that helps you get the most out of your life. Vaginal dryness and/or painful intercourse Try a vaginal lubricant during intercourse. Topical estrogen cream, vitamin E suppositories, systemic estrogen therapy, or increased intake of soy can be helpful. Check with your doctor. Urinary symptoms Can often be resolved through the use of a locally applied estrogen cream. Kegel exercises (contracting and strengthening the muscles of the pelvic floor) can increase blood flow to the area and help with stress incontinence. Skin problems A variety of treatments will help build collagen, resurface the skin, and prevent wrinkles. Try systemic hormones, adding soy to your diet, and antioxidant supplements like vitamin C and E. Bone loss Get adequate phytohormones from foods such as soy, from herbs, hormone replacement and calcium and magnesium supplements. Strengthen your bones by beginning a weight-bearing exercise program. Insomnia If related to hot flashes, try the solutions listed above. If related to anxiety, you may need to make some changes in your life that the anxiety is bringing to your attention. You may just need more sleep than you previously did. Try daytime naps to relieve your insomnia. Fuzzy thinking Try herbs such as ginkgo and St. John's wort. Soy isoflavones or hormones like progesterone or estrogen are also helpful.

If you start your period early say 10 years old will you go into menopause earlier too?


Dodie

I started at 10, 7 years ago, is it possible or some sort of fact that if you start earlier, then you will "finish" earlier too?



Georgann

Baby girls are born with as many eggs the will ever need, some will die & some mature until all the reproductive organs work together then they will have there first period sometimes as young as 8 or as old as 18.women could have menopause on average at 45 & as late as 55 or some can get it even earlier through medical reasons or they could get it as young as there early 30s. There's know given time unless of course there's a medical reason. I hope that answers your question. Hope it Helps. Good Luck



Clarisa

More related to when your mother had the menopause - generally speaking you would have your menopause then too. The only exception to the rule is if your mother went through the menopause early due to a medical reason such as hysterectomy or chemotherapy.



Laura

woah i never even thought of that lol i started young too. in 4th grade i think i was 10

Does your menstrual cycle just stop after menopause?


Kristopher

After you go through all the syptoms of menopause, do the monthly cycles stop on their own, or do you have to go through surgery? Also, why are my periods so heavy and last for long periods of time? This can't be part of the menopause....or is it? Thanks for your help.



Aleen

No surgery required, its a natural process and they will stop ont here own, but spotting can still occur. And your period being long and heavy probably has nothing to do with menopause, if they persist you should goto a doctor they should be heavy and long every month.



Chelsea

Yes, menustral periods will fluctuate kind of weirdly during menopause, then they will stop altogether. There is no need for surgery. The purpose of a period is to prepare the uterus for implantation, and when you reach menopause, you are too old to bear children so your body stops going through the effort and just stops your period.
