Menopause, this young?

Question

I have been having problems with myself and my body changes, I checked the symptoms of Menopause because someone suggested it. I have gotten 6 out of 8 things on the list that i'm having symptoms, I'm only 20 is that normal??

Answer 1

The only way to find out is to go to your doctor and discuss your symptoms.  Menopause can occasionally set in early but medical advice should come from someone who is properly trained.

Answer 2

No- go and see a doctor!

Answer 3

no menopause happens when your 50 in most cases

20 is way younger then normal you must go see your doctor!

Answer 4

No, it's not normal to go thru Menopause at 20! The list you have used cannot be accurate for Menopause. Can you talk to your Mum or an older female relative?

See you Doctor if still sure about the symptoms and maybe a lady Doctor at that!  You are just a budding young woman at 20 and shouldn't have any worries about your womanhood.

Answer 5

I suffer from PCOS and some other hormonal problems since age 13, my state has been referenced to several times by physicians as "pre-menopausal" because of the lack or hormones that my body creates.  If you don't have regular periods or any at all, you need to talk to your doctor about it because your body could be doing some things it should not which can be corrected if caught in time.  You don't want to end up infertile do you?  Good luck!

Answer 6

Menopause at 20 is pathological.  If your symptoms really do suggest it, then you should see a doctor ASAP, and very likely an endocrinologist if your doctor agrees with your thoughts about it: it could be a sign of pituitary or thyroid problems, and those can be *very* serious.

Answer 7

if you're having problems with your menstrual period, it's  best to seek a gynecologist's opinion first.
