Hey! I dont want to scare you but i think
menopause can happen at any age. You hear
extreme cases where teenagers are going
through menopause. I really dont think it
has an age restriction but i could be
wrong..... Sorry if this doesnt help you!

Actually when we talk about menopause it
is not necessarily for elderly
woman....Early or premature menopause is
more common than we as a woman realize..It
affects woman at about 1%, between the age
of 15-45.
If menopause happens before the age of 45
it is what you called early
menopause...And when it happens before the
age of 40 this is what you call premature
menopause.

Perimenopause Posted: 06-02-07 23:22pm
Hi I'm 31 and I am going through
perimenopause. Perimenopause is the 5-10
year period before you hit menopause. I
started having symptoms about 4 years ago.
My doctor told me I was to young to have
my hormones checked but I knew something
was not right. I got a second opinion and
all my hormone levels where low. So if you
are having symptoms then ask your doctor
to check your levels.

I am 34 and I am in full blown
menopause.Mine was brought on by
Chemotherapy last year.My worst symptom is
the hot flashes and night sweats.I have
alot of trouble sleeping at night after I
have to get up and down,changing clothes
and/or sheets.I can't take any estrogen
replacement because my cancer was estrogen
fed.Seems like a womans misery never
ends.
