see a doctor or they have some soy menopause over the counter supplements that are supposed to help you with those types of symptoms. Good luck.

Best advice would be to see a doctor about these hot flashes. One of my old neighbors hit menopause at 24, so it is possible.

See what your doctor can do; I understand there may be hormone therapy to offset early menopause in young women.

My sympathies on the hot flashes - I get them too - but I'm just abit older.

Your sooo young! I'm sorry you have to go through it at this young age. I'm 49 and I'm in menopause now. I know how awful these darn flashes are! After several visits to my doctor (and several different meds) I finally hit gold with a medication called "clonidine" 0.1 MG. If these flashes wake you up at night.....sleep with a small fan pointed at you.
I have been a happy camper since!
Good Luck!

I don't know about menopause, I think it might be a Thyroid problem. Maybe you need to be on Birth Control for the hormones. I'd go get check.

You are way too young for menopause...but I suppose that it could happen...go to the Dr. soon....it could be something serious going on.

See a doctor sweetie. You would be a good candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy.

You should have your levels evaluated by a dr. That is pretty young to be experiencing those symptoms.

The sooner the better
