If you’re in your 30s and believe you might be going through menopause, it can be confusing. Here’s what you need to know:
- What Are the Symptoms?
Menopause symptoms can include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, trouble sleeping, and dryness. If you are feeling these changes, it might be because your hormones are shifting. - Could It Be Early Menopause?
Some women experience early menopause (also called premature ovarian failure) before they turn 40. This means the ovaries stop working normally, which can cause symptoms similar to menopause. - What Is Perimenopause?
Perimenopause is the time before menopause when your hormones start changing. This can happen in your 30s, even if your periods are still regular. It can cause symptoms like hot flashes and mood changes. - Other Possible Causes
Early menopause or menopause-like symptoms can also be caused by family history, health conditions, surgeries, or treatments like chemotherapy or radiotherapy. - What Should You Do?
If you think you are experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to see a doctor. They can assess your symptoms, do tests if needed, and suggest treatments to help you manage these changes. - Get Support
