Early menopause
Dr. Aster: Hello and welcome. Today I will talk about Early menopause. Early menopause happens when a woman's periods stop before the age of 45. It can happen naturally, or as a side effect of some treatments. For most women, the menopause starts between the ages of 45 and 55.If you're under 45 and have noticed your periods becoming infrequent or stopping altogether, you should speak to your doctor. The main symptom of early menopause is periods becoming infrequent or stopping altogether without any other reason (such as pregnancy). Doctor should be able to make a diagnosis of early menopause based on your symptoms, your family history, and blood tests to check your hormone levels. The main treatment for early menopause is medicines to make up for your missing hormones. Thank You.
