Is 35 too young to be pre-menopausal?

Answer 1

I started into pre-menopause around 36. I didn't know what was wrong with me. My periods were irregular (I had always been an on the dot- 5 dayer) Some days light some days uncontrollable.My mood swings were horrible- Like out of body experiences. Finally, I went to my Doctor for an answer. She said I was much too young to be in menopause, but would run a hormone level check to be sure. We were both surprised when the results came back. Just knowing that I had a medical reason for all the changes going on was a relief. I started reading all material availabe to me on homeopathic help, meditation, and with an understanding Husband and great Girlfriends, I accepted the change as a part of life. Ask your Doctor to run some tests. I am now 54 and am at the end of menopause. I hope my answer has helped you. May God bless you on your journey.

Answer 2

Perimenopause can start as early as 35-45 and can last up to 10 years before you actually reach Menopause, which typcailly occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.

You may want to consider going on the pill to regulate your hormones and menstrual cycle if you are experiencing problems.

Answer 3

From the National Institute on Aging website: "Menopause doesn’t usually happen before you are 40, but it can happen any time from your 30s to your mid 50s or later. The average age is 51. Smoking can lead to early menopause. Some types of surgery can bring on menopause. For example, removing your uterus (hysterectomy) before menopause will make your periods stop, but your ovaries will still make hormones. That means you could still have symptoms of menopause like hot flashes when your ovaries start to make less estrogen. But, when both ovaries are also removed (oophorectomy), menopause symptoms can start right away, no matter what your age is, because your body has lost its main supply of estrogen."

Answer 4

Absolutely not.

Perimenopause begins in your 30's, so you're right on time. Menopause itself, in fact, can only be recognized in retrospect, after you hven't had a period for a year. But there is a long process that leads to it, and that process is perimenopause, AKA being pre-menopausal. And all of the "symptoms" that we generally refer to as belonging to menopause are actually indicators of perimenopause.

Answer 5

It's called Perimenopause and no, unfortunately 35 is not too young. Check out the Web Md site on Menopause for symptoms and information and if you think you have it you might want to see your OBGYN.

Answer 6

Not at all! Some women can be premenapausal in their late 20s! You can have blood work done to determine if this is the cause of your problems, but a good thing to do would be to have your doc run a thyroid panel on you as well, because this can give alot of the same symptoms!

Answer 7

testosterone causes menopause. it alters brain chemistry, impairs ovary development and ovary function. sperm causes menopause in young girls. Eating meat with poorly drained blood every day will cause menopause over time. Testosterone causes menopause. In Canada you cannot sell meat with added hormones for this reason.

Answer 9

no, it's not too young. my mom was FINISHED with menopause by 40. if the women in your family (maternal side), went through menopause early, chances are you will too.

Answer 10

No. Sometimes women are completely finished with their periods by 45. I understand peri-menonpause lasts anywhere from 10 to 15 years.
