Is This the Early Signs of Menopause Or Something Else? Posted: 02-16-04 12:12pm


I am a 47 year old woman that has had a regular menstral cycle. I have crohns and am on regular medication to lessen the effects. This past december my youger sister died of breast cancer (she was 44) so you can understand the stress I have gone through over the past while. Just prior to her death, I was late for my period and this month no period at all. During this time I have experienced hot flashes (more like sweats) mostly at night although they have presently subsided. I do find that my tummy is tender and I have had more bowel movements but this is not exceptional given my crohns. Has anyone had similar issues and can you help me understand them? I have read where these can be associated with ovarian problems. So you should know I have three children my oldest is 16 my youngest is 10 and they were all breast fed. Since my sister's death I find myself obsessing over health issues in a way I never have before. Thanks for your understanding.

Early menopause Posted: 05-04-08 23:15pm


Menopause is a perfectly natural physiological change, so the first symptoms of menopause should be regarded as the beginning of a new phase of a woman's life. Even so, the first symptoms of menopause can cause concern for many women who are not quite ready to accept the passage of time and the end of their childbearing years. They may await the first symptoms of menopause with a mixture of dread and relief that it is finally approaching.
