pre-menopausal symptoms?

Question

I am 39 years old and wondering what the signs of pre-menopause is? i am having pains in my arm pits, hot sweats sometimes and really short tempered.

Answer 1

I would have it checked by a doctor - but yes, those are usual symptoms. Though the pain under the armpit could be more serious.

Hot flashes
night sweats
temper changes (usually associated with the hot flashes)

here is some good reference for you:

Answer 2

Indeed, that sounds like it. I am on the other side of it now, and only in retrospect now realize that lots of the aches/pains, annoying symptoms and mood swings were just that. I KNEW that "menopausal symptoms" begin in the mid 30s, but was in some kind of denial thing, as my periods were as regular as ever. Even got pregnant unexpectedly at age 44! She is eight now, and a delight. I had gone through what most people recognize as menopause (cessation of menstruation) before she was two.

My recommendation would be to use this as a reminder to go get a thorough checkup for yourself. I was somewhat neglectful of this, waited two years, and had endometrial cancer when I did get around to it. (Looks like all is okay now, though.) They should check some blood work, like basics as well as a good baseline profile of lipids/cholesterol, in addition to mammogram, blood pressure and all the rest. Don't forget to mention your symptoms to the doctor, and s/he may want to order some hormone studies to see what your menopausal status is.

You have a couple of little ones that need a healthy mom who will be around a long time!

BTW, how did the testing on your daughter turn out?

Hi there,
If you want to know more about uterine fibroids and you want to eliminate all the symptoms naturally you must read this great book: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=553

Uterine fibroids are a common health concern among a major population of women. Uterine fibroids are benign, non cancerous tumours that originate within the uterus. They are also called fibroid tumors, leiomyomas, or myomas. They are made of the same muscle tissues as the uterus, though they tend to be hardened. This is possibly because uterine fibroids contain higher levels of estrogen than the surrounding uterine tissues. Some uterine fibroids may be so small that they can't be felt even during an internal examination; some may be large enough to make a prominent bulge in your stomach.
Cheers.

The first perimenopause symptoms women typically experience are changes in their monthly cycle. Menstrual cycles in perimenopause might shorten or lengthen by a couple days. Periods might be lighter or heavier. Women might skip their periods for a month or more.

Hot flashes are another of the most common early menopause symptoms and can begin before women notice changes in their monthly cycle. Again, these hot flashes often start out mild and women can discounted these, especially if there are no signs of other perimenopause symptoms.

Answer 5

It's true! Premenopause symptoms can begin in your thirties and forties. Common symptoms of premenopause include:

• Unexplained weight gain • Headaches
• Mood swings • Lower sex drive
• Depression • Irritability
• Inability to handle stress • Fibrocystic breasts
• Uterine fibroids • Endometriosis
• Low metabolism • Instable blood sugar
• Water Retention • Hot flashes
• Vaginal dryness • Irregular periods
• Pain in the joints or stiffness

But what's important is why these premenopause symptoms begin. Somewhere in the 30's or 40's, women begin to experience a gradual slowdown of their reproductive cycle. As a consequence, their hormonal balance can begin to change, resulting in having premenopause symptoms.

Answer 6

if you are pre-menopausal you are starting early. I started at 48-49 and my first signs were trouble w/my period. Hot sweats followed and I was wicked cranky. I don't remember pain under my arm pits. Check w/doctor or look it up on www.webmd.com Good Luck

Answer 7

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/k4wkZ
