What are the symptoms of EARLY MENOPAUSE?

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
I also have bad digestion problems I suffer from IBS

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.

Do I just have the test anytime

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.
