Go see an OB/GYN you may be going into menopause but starting off with dysmenhorhea (heavy bleeding.)  Or you should be checked for cancer.

Menopause can happen anywhere between your 40's to the 60's.  Most likely you are going thru pre-menopause, which can start as early as 30.  That's the hot flashes and night sweats and all that.  If by chance you are experiencing those sypmtoms of pre menopause, and you are having a hard time handling it, try some herbal remedies.  I've heard black cohosh really helps with hot flashes.

It may just be that your estrogen levels are low.  This can happen at any age due to low body-weight/low body-fat.  Estrogen is produced by fat cells,  the fewer fat cells, the lower your estrogen levels.  \n\nLack of menses, presence of hot and cold spells, nightsweats, hair loss, dry skin, brittle nails can all be signs of low e2 levels. \n\nThis can easily be remedied by using an estrogen patch or taking estrogen orally (not the same as birth control pills).  Your Gyn would be the person to talk to. \n\nHope this helps!

Some women do have heavy menstrual bleeding prior to menopause, but the more likely explanations are possible cysts, uterine polyps or endometriosis.  If this persists, you should have an ultrasound performed by your gynecologist.

Is this a 'wish' or is this happening to you? There is such a thing as early onset menopause, so that could be the problem. Sure you aren't pregnant? Hormone replacement and birth control can cause this too.

could be true as I was always thin and had plenty of regular sex over my 25 years of marriage. I have put on weight after menopause and don't have sex as often as before.

Complete female baldness is actually rather rare, women usually suffer from hair loss, resulting in thin hair . \nThe most common causes: temporary metabolic problems associated with pregnancy, unusual stress, chemotherapy, crash diets/anorexia, thyroid hormone deficiency, major surgery, severe infection, high fever, certain drugs). This is usually temporary and reverses itself over time as the situation is alleviated. \nAnd then there is "Female Pattern Hair Loss" which usually happens around menopause. The reason that women experience hair loss during and after menopause is that their estrogen levels decline.

When you say symptoms of menopause...I assume you mean hot flashes. This very likely is not menopause and could be due to a host of other causes. There is a simple blood test called an FSH level, however, that you could ask your doctor to run that would effectively rule that out.

I am with lady bug! When you pass menopause you do loose many of your sexual tools. Get checked out and ask your Dr. about hormone cream for that problem!

I was never married to a woman with menopause, but was dating a woman who was very grouchy and had a hard time dealing with it.  I overlooked it best I could but she broke up with me.  I think the menopause had something to do with it.  Good luck, try to get past it......

It is normal to prescribe low-dose hormones or low-dose hormone birth control pills to women going through menopause to relieve some of their symptoms, such as hot flashes.  \n\nThere have been a variety of studies questioning the safety of hormonal treatment for women.  There is a link below providing a summary of some of these issues.\n\nIf you are concerned, you should discuss this with your doctor or seek a second opinion.\n\nI have also included a link to information about premature menopause, generally defined as menopause occuring in women under the age of 40.  There is no way to reverse menopause once the process has started, so the birth control pills your doctor prescribed are presumably meant to help with your symptoms.

Is it sudden onset?   Have your periods been 'irregular' all along?  Perimenopause COULD be staring that early, but it's unusual.  The earlier you start your periods, traditionally the later you go into Menopause.  The later you start  the earlier you go.  \n\nIf this was more of a sudden onset, check to see if you are pregnant.  Then if you have painful periods - REALLY painful and they have gotten worse over time, might want to see the doc about endometriosis... And then, of course, if your thyroid is acting up (hypothyroidism) can also cause this.  You would have signs of this... 'scaly alligator pattern of dry skin' on your shins, puffy eyes, tired, gaining weight etc..\n\nLast but not least, there is a more rare disorder out there called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (Or PCODisease) that causes that issue also.  But usually women get that before your age.  \n\nIf nothing else fits, have the Gyne check your FSH levels and the usual Perimenopausal blood tests to see if that's what's up!  Good Luck!  \n\nI am NOT a medical doctor.  I have had some limited training as a medical assistant many years ago.  Just seemed to have a knack for it :)  Just remember it's my opinion and not medical advice :)
