Signs and symptoms\nEvery woman experiences menopause differently. Even the age at which menopause begins may be unique to you. Some women reach menopause in their 30s or 40s, and some not until their 60s, but menopause most often occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.\n\nYour signs and symptoms also are likely to be very individual. You may breeze through menopause with few signs and symptoms. Or you may experience a number of physical and emotional changes, including:\n\nIrregular periods. Your menstrual periods may stop suddenly, or gradually get lighter or heavier and then stop. The unpredictability of your periods may be your first clue that menopause is approaching. \nDecreased fertility. When ovulation begins to fluctuate, you're less likely to become pregnant. Until you haven't had a period for a year, however, pregnancy is still possible. \nVaginal and urinary changes. As your estrogen level declines, the tissues lining your vagina and urethra — the opening to your bladder — become drier, thinner and less elastic. With decreased lubrication you may experience burning or itching, along with increased risk of infections of your urinary tract or vagina. These changes may make sexual intercourse uncomfortable or even painful. You may feel the need to urinate more frequently or more urgently, and you may experience urinary incontinence. \nHot flashes. As your estrogen level drops, your blood vessels may expand rapidly, causing your skin temperature to rise. This can lead to a feeling of warmth that moves upward from your chest to your shoulders, neck and head. You may sweat, and as the sweat evaporates from your skin, you may feel chilled, weak and slightly faint. Your face might look flushed, and red blotches may appear on your chest, neck and arms. Most hot flashes last from 30 seconds to several minutes, although they can last much longer. The frequency, as well as the duration, of hot flashes varies from person to person. You may have them once every hour or only occasionally. They can occur any time during the day or night. They may be a part of your life for a year or more, or you may never have them. \nSleep disturbances and night sweats. Night sweats are often a consequence of hot flashes. You may awaken from a sound sleep with soaking night sweats followed by chills. You may have difficulty falling back to sleep or achieving a deep, restful sleep. Lack of sleep may affect your mood and overall health. \nChanges in appearance. Many women gain a modest amount of weight — about 5 pounds on average — during the menopausal transition. The fat that once was concentrated in your hips and thighs may settle above your waist and in your abdomen. You may notice a loss of fullness in your breasts, thinning hair and wrinkles in your skin. If you previously experienced adult acne, it may become worse. Although your estrogen level drops, your body continues to produce small amounts of the male hormone testosterone. As a result, you may develop coarse hair on your chin, upper lip, chest and abdomen. \nEmotional and cognitive changes. You may experience irritability, fatigue, decreased memory and diminished concentration as you approach menopause. These symptoms have sometimes been attributed to hormonal fluctuations. Yet other factors are more likely to contribute to these changes, including sleep deprivation and stressful life events — such as the illness or death of a parent, grown children leaving home or returning home, and retirement. \n\nComplications\nSeveral chronic medical conditions tend to appear after menopause. By becoming aware of the following conditions, you can take steps to help reduce your risk:\n\nCardiovascular disease. At the same time your estrogen levels decline, your risk of cardiovascular disease increases. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in women as well as in men. Yet you can do a great deal to reduce your risk of heart disease. These risk-reduction steps include stopping s

35 is way too early for menopause, but it could be perimenopause (aka pre-menopause). There is helpful info in the link below.

I am an 8 year survior of Ovarian cancer.  They call it the silent killer, because most of the time there are no symptoms.  I was 19 when I was diagnosed.  They removed one overy and falpian tube. I went through chemo.  And two years later I gave birth to my oldest daughter.  If you want more info drop me a line.  Also visit the Gilda Radner foundation.  They are wonderful.

I had a total hysterectomy in April of 2005 because of ovarian cancer. I had a mastectomy 16 years ago-breast cancer-so our situations are similar. I had already gone through menopause when I had breast cancer so that was not an issue after my hysterectomy. The hysterectomy wasn't pleasant but it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. There was soreness for 3 or 4 weeks. I picked up an infection  after I returned home from the hospital where my surgery was done and ended up in the hospital here at home for 3 days. The antibiotic made me sick but once I was through taking it, I felt much better. My surgery was done by a GYN oncology surgeon and he must have done a good job because, since the second of  6 chemo treatments (which I finished  9/05) my CA125 results have been perfectly normal. In fact, I had my Mediport removed this past Thurs. as my onologist saw no further need for it.\n I've tried to touch on info you might be imterested in but if you want to talk, please contact me.

It could be menopause.  Menopause is the medical term for the end of a woman's menstrual periods. It is a natural part of aging, and occurs when the ovaries stop making hormones called estrogens. This causes estrogen levels to drop, and leads to the end of monthly menstual periods. This usually happens between the ages of 45 and 60, but it can happen earlier. Menopause can also occur when the ovaries are surgically removed or stop functioning for any other reason

I had all my female organs removed includeing my cervix in 2000 at the age of 36. I am still on hormone replacement after 5 years to control the hot flashes. I am not cranky like the old wives tales say. Now this is just what I have been thru. Vaginal dryness....I am more sensitive to foods as in I get nausia several times a week that lasts for several hours at a time. I have had all the tests run possable to find out why this is happening and they find nothing. I get more headaches since the procedure. My skin is dryer and my hair is a little thiner. It sounds bad, but it's so much better than what I was going thru when I had my period.\nHope this helps you.

I take it, you had a total hysterectomy?  How long ago?  How long have you been on the hormones?  This is usually something that is discussed with your doctor

No, menopause does not last forever---it just seems that way. ;-)\n\nShe needs to see a gynecologist right away to determine if it is menopause or some other health problem. How old is she? Perimenopause can begin in the 30's and menopause itself can last up to 10 years. \n\nPlease be patient with her. Advise her to see a doctor---there are lots of remedies for the symptoms, so she (and you) do not need to suffer through anything. Tell her that you love her and want her to feel well and be happy and to do whatever it takes to make it so. Good luck!

Depends on how old you are. If you're too young for menopause, then yes, go to a doctor. Irregular periods are not a huge deal, but three years is too long!

When an hysterectomy is performed the surgeon removes the uterus and depending on the age of the patient he may also remove the ovaries.\n but that changesfrom person to person, some women who are not in her menopause request to keep her ovaries in order to keep her hormones right; but if the woman is on the menopause they are usually removed because they are not working anymore (that is they aren't making hormones anymore) but they can become cancerous in the future so the surgeons remove them as a preventive measure.\nDuring the hysterectomy there are some risks as with any other surgery, those risks can be: excesive bleeding during the procedure which could require a transfussion, infection after the surgery that could require antibiotics or in extreme cases to do an  emergency surgery to remove the infected tissue, also there is risk of damaging organs of the urinary system such as the bladder. \n\nIT IS EXTREMELY RARE THAT ANY OF THIS THINGS HAPPEN THEY USUALLY NOT.\n\nIf your mother's OB/GYN is certified I can tell you that he has done that procedures a lot of times and then the risks are much lower (We could say that is a routine procedure for them)\nAfter the surgery she will never have menstrual bleeds again, and at first some women refer a little discomfort or less pleasure during sexual intercourse but it resolves after some time.\nMy recommendatin is that your mother should\ntake all the medications and all the perioperative precautions and everything should come out fine.\nGOOD LUCK

Have you seen a doctor about this?  Have you tried anything?  Have you gone through menopause yet?

Not always.\n\nI am no where near the age of menopause, and yet I have at times experienced hot flushes. It has something to do with a hormonal imbalance, but it's not usually something you need to worry about I don't think. If you're unsure it's probably best to see your doctor about it. Sometimes it can even be something to do with your skin type.
