is it possible for a young woman in her teens to experience menapous?

Question

ages 15-19?

sorry for the missed spelled word.
but i always wondered about that...

Answer 1

Possible but more likely have other health issues or because your cycle just started it causes similar symptoms.

Answer 2

Possible, yes, but highly, highly improbable! Why? Menopause usually sets in between the ages of 45-55 and is an indication that your system won't allow you to procreate because of the increased risk to both you and the baby at this age!

Answer 3

menopause is the cessation of menses. Women are born with all the eggs they willl ever have, they ovulate monthly, and when they are gone, they go thru menopause. As a teen, you probably are experiencing Amennorhea, a temporary cessation of menses due to stress, physical exertion, or the obvious, pregnancy.

Answer 4

If she has a total hysterectomy. Also, eating disorders could lower hormone levels to the point that the symptoms are similar but it wouldn't really be menopause. (Once the weight is gained back, she would be okay again.)

Answer 5

Not without disease to the ovaries or the surgical removal of same. Menopause occurs when the hormones are no longer being produced..

Answer 6

I doubt it. I've heard of it in mid-late 20's though. If someone that age (i don't know whether its you or not) is experiencing menopause like symptons its more likely to do with teenage hormones.

Answer 7

There are known cases of premature ovarian failure but it's not common. It can sometimes be due to Turner syndrome (when you only have 1 X chromosome instead of 2).

Answer 8

Not unless you have a very rare and serious medical condition.

Answer 9

Very very rare but it has been known. Extremely sad for them too.

Answer 10

I would never say anything is impossible. But very doubtful.
