Resolved Question:

Hi
I'm 36 I suffer with migraines and I'm on cerazette pill to control my hormones as my headaches relate to hormones I don't have a break in pill
Recently I've been having lots more headaches,hot sweats,pins and needles in hands,feeling depressed and I went hairdressers the other day and they said my hair was falling out (not much)
I'm just concerned my mom said it's early menopause but I don't know my nan had early menopause she was 39
My mom was 55 when she went through it
Migraines run through family

Hello.

Thanks for writing to DoctorSpring.com with your health concern.

Since you have a family history of early menopause, you have to test for it. There is a very objective way to know if you are having early menopause.

Just go for the following hormonal evaluation on the 2nd day of your period - FSH, LH, serum estradiol.

The levels will tell you if this is the case.

If it is, you would need estrogen supplementation in addition to progesterone ( which cerazette contains ) to help you feel better.

In any case, daily exercise, eating healthy , yoga and meditation will always be helpful.

All the best.

Please feel free to discuss further.

Thanks for reply
I haven't had a period for 16 years due to being on the pill constantly for my headaches so how would I know when my second day is ???
Do I just have the test anytime


Thanks for writing to us again.
Yes you can have a test any random day if you do not menstruate regularly.
Once you have taken the test, you can upload your reports and i will assist you further.
Regards
