No - even on birth conrol pills, the woman's body will eventually cease to create the lining on the uterus wall, thus no periods.

You should seek professional help if it happens often. If it is just a one time case, no need to worry. Girls who starts having menstruation may need some time to reach a regular cylcle. Women who almost come to menopause stage also have irregular cycles. Many people have irregular menstrual cycles, it is hormonal and as long as no other things wrong with their bodies, they shouldn't worry too much. Excessive worry may cause health problems.

Ok, you got a BIG problem.  You need to see your doctor ASAP if you are post menopausal and bleeding.  Menopause means NO BLEEDING.  Call your doctor for an exam right away.  Something is really wrong.

If you are post-menopausal and you aren't taking any hormones, any uterine bleeding is considered abnormal and should be evaluated by a health care professional as soon as possible

could be. the higher the possibility if she has regular periods then suddenly missed one. some women do not have menses for months because of irregular menses ( this can be treated). and some miss their menses for reasons like stress which causes hormonal changes. \n\nas to yeast infections...it's possible. it may even happen to post partum women.  if i remember my microbio right, yeast infections are caused by the proliferation of the candida fungus, which is caused by...again, hormonal changes of the body.\n\n\nhehee i' m no doctor so just tell her to consult a gynecologist for professional advise.

Feeling tired all the time.  Mood swings, crying for no reason.  Sometimes your mind might wander off, lack of concentration.  Breasts feel tight, cold weather makes the nipples sore.  Sometimes even having to urinate often.\nAlso depends of the woman.  My two pregnancies were different.  I didn't even know I was pregnant the first time around.  The second time I had only a few symptoms.  My sister-in-law threw up her first three months.  She thought that she had the flu for three weeks.  It dawned on her that she might have something else going on than the flu.  Second pregnancy that time.

must be premenstrual syndrome?What is Premenstrual Syndrome?\nPMS occurs when a woman experiences recurrent symptoms in the seven to ten days before the period begins. Symptoms cease before or during the period, followed by a symptom-free week. Some women, however, experience symptoms from ovulation which may last until the next period commences. \n\nPMS is more common in women over the age of 30, but may occur in younger women.\n\nNot all women suffer PMS. Some suffer mild to moderate symptoms for a day or two only, whereas a small number of women (about 5%) suffer severe symptoms which interfere with their quality of life at some stage during their reproductive years. \n  \n\nWhat causes PMS?\nThe exact cause of PMS is not known but it is believed to be a complex condition involving emotional, physical, hormonal and environmental factors. PMS occurs in the presence of a regular menstrual cycle with normal levels of hormones. It is not a state of hormonal imbalance.\n\nThe following factors may influence premenstrual symptoms:\n\nStress levels and a woman’s current psychological state \n\nCultural and social environment \n\nChanges in neurotransmitters (brain chemicals), particularly serotonin, which are lower in the premenstrual phase before the period in women with PMS. \n\nWhat are the most common symptoms?\nWhilst many women do not suffer PMS, others may suffer one or more of the following symptoms:\n\nEmotional Symptoms:\nirritability \n\nanxiety \n\nnervous tension \n\nmood swings \n\nlower coping ability \n\ndepression \n\naggression \n\ndifficulty concentrating \n\nlower libido, rarely increased libido \n\nfeeling unloved \n\nwanting to be alone \n\nreduced interest in work and social life  \n Physical symptoms\nFluid retention (swollen fingers or ankles) \n\nbloating around the abdomen \n\nbreast swelling and tenderness \n\nheadaches ranging from mild to a severe migraine \n\ntiredness, lethargy, insomnia \n\nincrease in weight \n\nconstipation \n\nfood cravings especially sweet foods \n\naches and pains particularly lower back, legs and abdomen \n\npoor coordination or clumsiness \n\nskin problems such as acne \n\noccasionally increased energy \n \n\n  \n\nHow do you tell if your symptoms are PMS?\nWhether you suffer one or a few of the above symptoms, it is the timing of the symptoms that will indicate whether or not you are suffering PMS. Symptoms due to PMS will only occur after ovulation (mid-cycle) and will disappear during the next menstrual period. Mark your symptoms on a calendar or keep a daily menstrual chart over two to three months to help your doctor with the diagnosis.\n\n\nLifestyle factors that may help towards relieving your PMS symptoms\nEat regular, healthy meals including plenty of vegetables, fruit, mixed grains and cereals \n\nEat small meals to maintain stable energy levels, this will also significantly reduce food cravings \n\nDrink less caffeine – particularly if you are suffering breast tenderness. Try drinking water instead! (6-8 glasses a day) \n\nCut down on alcoholic beverages \n\nCut down on salt and salty foods to help reduce fluid retention  \n\nGet enough rest, sleep and exercise \n\nDon’t smoke \n\nWear a well fitting cotton bra if you suffer tense, painful breasts. \n\nExercise\nRegular exercise is important, particularly during the premenstrual phase. Walking is an excellent form of exercise and has the advantage of being both cheap and easy for most people. Swimming, yoga, aerobics, netball, tennis, golf and cycling are other suggestions. Make sure you choose a form or variety of exercise you enjoy – otherwise you will not pursue it.\n\nExercise increases endorphins (one of the brain’s neurotransmitters, or chemicals, which decrease premenstrually in PMS sufferers) and therefore may reduce symptoms. Endorphins also act as natural pain killers and help you to feel more relaxed and in control. \n\nReduce Stress\nMake an effort to avoid extra stresses (mark your premenstr

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. For me its a little different each month. One time my symptoms change a lot and my grandmother told me that can happen if you have had an emotional change. I almost always have a back ache and every now and then I will get a temperature. I had a slight temp. earlier and I just got my period a few hours ago. But if this worries you and you think it is abnormal for you maybe you should talk to your doctor. You'll probably be fine though.

I feel for you, until recently I had the same problem.  Just to function on a daily basis was almost impossible.  I'm not aware of an early menopause but you may be able to help your symptoms by giving up caffeine during your period..   If your pain is really that bad perhaps you should consult your doctor.  You might have options that could make things easier for you.  You may even have something like endometriosis.. I had a hysterectomy in the fall and let me tell you, I've never been so thankful.  I can function like a normal human being .. I still have ovaries so no menopause..

I am presuming you are going through this mystical journey right along with the rest of us, huh?  Well, there is no set age or time for women, it's all according to each individual woman's body. For me, sometimes I feel miserable, other days I'm fine. My worst symptoms are frequent major headaches, change in body temperature and some mood swings. The "monthly visitor" hasn't completely stopped coming around but I can't wait till it happens.  Meanwhile, we all gotta cope......LOL

If it is actually due to menopause symptoms, soy and black cohosh are supposed to be helpful.  Without knowing your menstrual history, still having problematic hot flashes after sixty seems as if the symptoms may have lasted a long time.  This combined with your statement that HRT did not help, makes me wonder whether the cause is not something else.  Have you considered consulting an endocrinologist?
