Early menopause can be thought of in two different ways. You can think of early menopause in the area of perimenopause that precedes menopause or menopause that begins immediately due to surgery.

Early menopause is similar to menopause in the effects that the female body is changing. Estrogen levels are dropping and the body is experiencing reactions due to the changes in hormone levels. Natural menopause is where the ovaries have stopped producing estrogen entirely. When menstruation ceases for a full twelve months than a physician will diagnose a women as being in the process of menopause.

Signs of menopause can be broken up into two categories:
physical symptoms and mental symptoms.

Many of these symptoms can be relieved by changes in diet and exercise. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating nutritious meals and finding ways to lower stress levels can help lessen menopause symptoms. Herbal remedies such as using black cohosh, Hawthorne flower or other herbal extracts can often help with hot flashes and night sweats. There are also hormone creams such as Hot Flash Freedom or there are prescription medications available, but with all of these methods prior to beginning a new regimen, you should consult your physician first.

Early menopause is nothing to fear or to worry over. If you are concerned that you may be experiencing early or perimenopause, speak to your physician. He or she can help you in better understanding what is best for you and your body.

Why are you waiting a couple of months to see a doc. Call your regular docs office and ask for a sooner appointment to get this checked out., Signs would be erratic periods, hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness and thinning there but those could all be signs of something else. Get you appointment sooner with your regular doc instead of waiting a couple of months. I have never heard of a normal doc making you wait a couple of months to be seen.

your really young to be thinking of this...you probably have something else going on...but i was 45...the fot flashes were the worse...you get really hot and then you cool down...some people even sweat in their hair...also you have mood swings..you can be happy one minute and crabby the next....go to your appt.....

Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, anxiety, and periods gone bananas.

By "bananas", I mean you'll have no idea when you're going to get one or how long it will last.
