Some of early menopause symptoms can be easily mistaken,
especially if the woman is younger than 40 years old. Most women
under 40 do not tend to think that they are experiencing
premenopausal issues, however, it is not unheard of for young
women in their 20's to begin menopause early. Following are some
of the signs of early menopause that many women do experience.
Mood swings are often sited as an early menopause symptom;
however, there is not any conclusive research to that effect. It
is now being thought that the changes in mood may be more
directly related to the lack of sleep that some women experience
because of night sweats. This is an especially valid idea if the
woman has a history of depression, this history added to the
loss in sleep can cause the mood swings.
Premenopausal like symptoms can also be caused by excessive
weight. For example, many obese women do not have normal
menstrual cycles and experience irregular bleeding patterns. It
is important to speak with your health care provider if you feel
that you are experiencing any of these early menopause symptoms,
they will be able to rule out any other health related issues.
Many women tend to associate early menopause with hot flashes.
A hot flash is the warming of the entire body and is normally
followed by perspiration. Hot flashes are often associated with
night sweats, which can drench the with sweat while sleeping.
This is no scientific explanation for the occurrence of hot
flashes or night sweats, but almost 40% of women suffer from
this early menopause symptom. For most women hot flashes last
about five years, however, about 10% of women will experiencing
hot flashes and night sweats for 10 years.
The most commonly noticed early menopause symptom is irregular
bleeding. However, this is the most unpredictable symptom as
well; it is different for every woman. Some women experience
occasional bleeding, excessive bleeding or irregular menstrual
cycles with more or less time between them. It is very common
among premenopausal women to miss one or more menstrual cycles
and then have one or two in a row, only to start missing them
again.
