Menopause is usually associated to women who are in their
fifties. Women associate it with aging.
This is a misconception because it can affect a woman at any
age. Although, it is quite seldom for a woman who is still
young to get menopause but it happens. However, there have been
a lot of documented cases wherein early menopause symptoms
occur to women who are less than forty and this includes young
ladies who are in their early teenage years.
The only issue that surrounds experiencing early menopause
is fertility. When one experiences it, whatever the age is, one
no longer has the ability to conceive and give birth to a
child. Thus, the child bearing years are at an end. Do not
panic because there are a lot of reasons why this is happening.
It could be because of genes or hormones. You could be having
low estrogen level or you recently had an operation that
triggered the symptoms. Thus, if you are experiencing any of
the early menopause symptoms, it is time to go and visit the
doctor:
1. Irregular periods
2. Infertility
3. Hot flashes throughout the day and night
4. Bladder control issues
5. Extreme weight gain or weight loss
6. Irritability
7. Mood swings
8. Absent-mindedness
9. Anxiety attacks
10. Insomnia
11. Depression
12. Joint pains
13. Muscle pains
14. Migraines
