What is early menopause?
Menopause occurs naturally more often after the age of 45. It can occur because the woman’s ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
If it is before that age, we can talk about early menopause.
Changes and symptoms can start several years earlier. These include:
- Change in menses: More or less lasting, more or less profuse, with more or less time between periods.
- Hot flashes and/or night sweats.
- vaginal dryness
- Humor changes.
- Difficult to focus.
- less hair and more facial hair.
- Difficulty to sleep.
The causes of menopause can be due to different factors, one of them is the natural deterioration of reproductive hormones, surgery to remove the ovaries, chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and primary ovarian insufficiency.
