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.

wow i never got an email to when u guys replyed sry and thanks for your explaining it helps to know.

I just turned 48 and I'm just starting to get signs of going through menopause.

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.

Hi. Im 17 and was diagnosed with premature menopause a month before my 17th birthday.
I don't think there is a specific age, but clearly you can get the menopause at a young age.

Hope you don't get the sickness, hot sweats and tiredness as much as I still am.
