Early Menopause Symptoms

Early menopause symptoms are found in one out of every hundred women. Most women begin menopause around the age of 45, so if you begin at or before the age of 40, that is considered early menopause. Many times the symptoms are unrecognized because of the age, and some can actually be in the teens or even in their twenties. Can you imagine being in your teens and going through menopause? This process can take seven to ten years to complete. 

Some of the signs to watch for in detecting early menopause symptoms:

1. Irregular bleeding This can also be very unpredictable and can be very different for every woman. Irregular periods and occasional bleeding are symptoms as well as excessive bleeding. That can be confusing, however, because it is very common among premenopausal women to miss their periods for a month or more, and then have one or two, and then miss them again.

2. Early menopause symptoms are most commonly brought on by age. A hysterectomy can be another reason for this change in life to occur. This is the main reason doctors put women on hormone replacement therapy. 

3. A lack of sleep can cause mood swings, which was once thought of as a symptom of menopause. Night sweats can also cause some women a lack of sleep and therefore, not themselves. This is not conclusive, however. If a woman has a history of depression, a lack of sleep can make the symptoms worse.

4. Hot flashes are a symptom of early menopause. When experiencing hot flashes, the body suddenly gets warm and then perspiring occurs. Hot flashes are also associated with night sweats, which can leave you drenched while sleeping. 40% of women experience early menopause symptoms that can last up to five years or longer. 10% of women will experience night sweats and hot flashes for ten years.

5. Obesity or being overweight can cause premenopausal symptoms. If you are overweight, you can experience irregular periods or bleeding patterns and it is important that you discuss this with your doctor, to rule out any other illnesses or health related problems.
