Is 46 too young to be going through menopause?

Ariana

Cycle has pretty much come to a hault since I was 44 ( occasional cycles maybe every 4 months) but now nothing since october 2008. No hot flashes though,,, no signs of what comes with menopause. Any other reasons for it this to occur? I had severe stress ( husband passed away) in the last entire year.

My mom was in her early 40s and it was considered "normal", though a little early. Once you've had no period for 6 months your considered to be done them. If your not having anything like hot flashed, well either your very lucky or it COULD be stress. If your worried, talk to a doc, but for not I wouldn't worry. Good luck!



Delaine

No..menopause occurs in 40-50 age group so its normal



Susanna

No it's not - 40 plus is the normal age range. Although it could be down to stress as well - the only way to tell really is if you go to the doctor.



Earl

Nope, its normal.



Jonie

It could be menopause but it could also be the stress affecting your period. You might be going through a pre-menopausal stage.

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?

When is the earliest a woman can start menopause?

Hermelinda

Can it start in their 30's? Or is that way too early?



Bernetta

Some women have been known to begin menopause in their 20's. Yes, it IS too early, but at the same time with all the hormones being injected into our foods and beverages, our bodies hormonal systems are out of whack. So yes, while 30's is too young, unfortunately it's far more common than people would think.



Noemi

depends on family history...some people get their periods really early so therefore they start menopause early. Say you get your period when you are 8-10..you will probably get menopause in your mid 30s - late 30s



Nikole

Women in their twenties can go into menopause and it is called premature menopause. The causes of this need to be explored by a doctor. Thirty is not unheard of but not normal so if you think this is happening you need to schedule an appointment.



Jennine

In some rare cases, menopause can be start during the early age. However it will be advisable to consult your doctor about the symptom you experience before you take any action to treat it.



Giselle

Every woman, since the dawn of humanity, has gone through menopause. Menopause is a natural event in every woman's life. You're not sick, but you sure don't feel good! Grandmother called it "the change of life." It's simply the body deciding you don't have to get pregnant anymore. Whee! That's the good part. Unfortunately, the transition from being a fertile woman to a healthy, happy non-fertile woman has some uncomfortable symptoms. You know what they are. You're probably experiencing them. Menopause can start from 30 - 40, depending with your health
