Premature Menopause Signs?

Pre-mature Menopause Signs
by: Sue

If menopause comes before a woman?s 40th birthday, it is generally thought to be premature menopause.

Some women find menopause liberating; but if it comes too soon at a younger age, this premature menopause can be bad news to women who had still been hoping to start a family.

Here are some signs of premature menopause.

First, there could be irregular menstrual cycles, which would be noticeable especially when a woman has always been regular.

Second, there could be the notorious hot flashes. It is like a wave of heat starting from the neck or head area going down the body, often along with a headache and sweating.

Speaking of sweating, aside from hot flashes, there could also be night sweats. These make it difficult to enjoy a good night's sleep.

Some other symptoms might be bladder irritability, vaginal dryness, and incontinence.

There can also be mood swings, insomnia, decreased sexual drive, and feelings of stress.

Premature menopause may cause infertility as the ovaries slow down or stop producing and releasing egg cells that are ready for fertilization. That is also the reason why menstrual flows stop during this stage in life.

There is a theory that premature menopause could be hereditary. If your mother or sisters have suffered from it, chances might be greater that you could have the same experience.
